Low-Carbon Menu

As we do every week at the Ruscombe Co-op Café, today’s luncheon selections are considered part of a climate-friendly diet. It is all vegetarian, and mostly organic, local, and seasonal foods.

This year our open house coincided with the 10/10/10 initiative from 350.org to raise awareness of global warming. Please visit www.350.org for more on what they call the low-carbon diet and other ways planetary citizens are getting to work and encouraging our leaders to follow!
