5. Quote Corner

From "Omnivore's Dilemma":
According to the EPA, over 380 billion plastic bags, sacks and wraps are
consumed in
the U.S. each year.

From Barbara Kingsolver's "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle", page 6:
"Living in Arizona on borrowed water made me nervous.  We belonged to a
far-flung little community of erstwhile Tucson homesteaders, raising
chickens in our yards and patches of vegetables for our own use,
frequenting farmers' markets to buy from Arizona farmers, trying to reduce
the miles-per-gallon quotient of our diets in a gasoholic world.  But
these gardens of ours had a drinking problem.  So did Arizona farms. 
That's a devil of a choice: Rob Mexico's water or guzzle Saudi Arabia's
gas?

"Traditionally, employment and family dictate choices about where to live.
 It's also legitimate to consider weather, schools, and other
quality-of-life indices.  We added one more wish to our list: more than
one out of three of the basic elements necessary for human life.  (Oxygen
Arizona has got.)...So, as the U.S. population made an unprecedented dash
for the Sun Belt, one carload of us dog paddled against the tide, heading
for the Promised Land where water falls from the sky and green stuff grows
all around.  We were about to begin the adventure of realigning our lives
with our food chain.

"Naturally, our first stop was to buy junk food and fossil fuel."
