    A few things to check out:

    The New Amsterdam Market this Sunday in NYC. It will be the 3rd market so far: “In its ongoing effort to foster a regional, sustainable food system by establishing a permanent, indoor public market in the City of New York, the New Amsterdam Public Market Association will hold its third market on Sunday, June 29th at the Seaport in Lower Manhattan.”

    Get some Alaskan Wild Salmon from the Elfish Company – order by June 30th. Turns out that California and Oregon have closed their salmon fisheries due to unsustainable practices, but the Alaska salmon are still abundant and returning to the stream. The season is short and the demand for this certified Eco-Sustainable (by the Marine Stewardship Council) fish will be high.

    Oh the mini roadtrip “From Bonnaroo to Boulder” does not end! Check out the newest post about LOHAS and sustainable restaurants in Boulder. There are some new pics too. And you should be on the look out for the next posting from Diane about a very interesting panel discussion between Simran Sethi – Sustainable Journalist, Michael Besancon – Whole Foods Market, and… are you ready? Rand Waddoups – senior director of strategy and sustainability at Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. Should be interesting!
