Community supported agriculture (CSAs) is a common term these days—from smaller communities to urban farmers' markets. In the case of agriculture, you buy a share (some places allow you to work for your share) and over the course of the season, you get weekly harvests of vegetables. It's a great way, if you can afford it, to participate in supporting local agriculture without actually farming yourself. Now, according to the Washington Post, community supported fisheries (CSFs) are the newest addition to sustainable eating. It's the same idea--people buy shares and get pounds of fish (10-12 pounds in some case) every week. But there are other exciting aspects to CSFS. Upfront cash from shares allows small fishermen to invest in the season ahead of time, instead of going out of business because they can't afford big initial investments. The share also creates a relationship. Shareholders aren't just investing in fish, they're investing in a fishery that they expect to have environmental, ethical and healthy practices. And they'll pay higher prices to the fishermen to make that happen. Some fishermen in Maine say current environmental regulations inadvertently support large fishing operations, leaving the small ones high and dry. But with CSFs, small scale fisheries win. In addition, many of these small-scale fishermen are looking to their past to address environmental issues. Instead of jumping on the technological treadmill and buying up new equipment to catch fish in order to keep up with the big guys, they're scaling down their technology and using older, tried and true methods that don't cost a fin and a tail to either fishermen or the marine environment.

I just got a new pair of Nike Air Force One shoes, and I could not be happier. My custom Nike Air Force Ones are the coolest thing that I have seen in years. These ones are a special St. Patrick's day addition, done in bright green and white. Very retro. I am tempted to save my Nike Air Force One shoes for playing basketball, but the thing is, I just can not keep them off of my feet. Everyone who sees me gives me a look of envy when they check out my Nike Air Force One shoes, because they know that I've got the cash flow to buy the nice threads.

This shoe is the most comfortable nike shoe I have ever purchased. I primarily wear my nike shoes for comfort and fashion. The first time I wore it and every time thereafter it felt like I was walking on cloud nike shoe. I sincerely hope this model nike shoe will be around for a long time to come in the event I need to replace it with a new one. To kind of ensure that I'll be in style and comfort for a good while I've purchased two additional pairs. Bravo nike shoe!

I recently purchased these nike shoes for my girlfriend as a christmas gift. She totally loved them far more than all her other air maxes she owns. I couldn't agree with hermore. They are by far the best women's nike shoes I have seen. Great quality, great design, and feather weight. I was completely satisfied with my purchase and would totally recommend these nike shoes to anyone who is considering purchsing them.

The hatchery on the Noosa River has been experiencing more and more mutant fish, at a rate which appears to coincide with the expansion of a nearby macadamia nut farm. That farm uses pesticides—carbendazim and endosulfan—which are banned in many countries, and is now completely bordering the hatchery.

it probably wouldn't take trillions of dollars worth of investments. Though, it could get pricey. They're already talking about genetically engineering plants with leaf surfaces that differ in reflectivity. There would likely have to be an incentive program, too, like carbon credits that make it financially feasible for farmers to switch to what might be a less desirable crop.

It's true what our moms said...we are what we eat. In fact, it's truer than they thought. What I eat doesn't just affect me anymore, it affects all of us.
Unfortunately, the story of food can sometimes be complicated. But envirovores help each other out...which is why this blog will be bringing you news, tips, and information about food and the environment every step of the way.

I also eat eggs and dairy products.
I guess I am a semi-vegetarian. I feel better mentally. Physically, I haven't seen a big difference.
I was raised eating lots of cooked vegetables, grains, rice, bread. We cook very tasty veggies.
Anyway if anybody needs to buy a Florida condo, shoot me an email.
