Even though we're trying to create a valuable Green resource on the 'Net, we recognize we can't fulfill all your Green needs. So every once in a while, we'll turn the Spotlight on other great eco-friendly online resources. This weekend, we turn our attention to Tomato Casual and Urban Garden Casual.Before starting 1GreenProduct.com, I ran another blog focused on the benefits of eating locally-grown food.
Buy a tomato (or any other produce) in a supermarket and you've got little control over what pesticides or herbicides were sprayed on your food. Grow a tomato at home and you have control over how it's raised.
Buying an organic tomato at the market may be better from a Green standpoint, but you've still got the environmental costs of transporting the tomato from a faraway field to the grocery store. Grow a tomato at home and the food only has to travel from your back garden to your table.
That's why we're delighted to see our good friend Reggie Solomon, creator of Tomato Casual and Urban Garden Casual get some TV exposure on FOX News for all the great advice he gives home gardeners (and aspiring home gardeners) everywhere.Congratulations, Reggie!
PS - For those of you born without a green thumb, another good eco-friendly food option might be to join a Community Supported Agriculture program that supports a local family farm. You'll get delicious fresh produce and help preserve farmland in your community.
