Please help win a garden for my mom by supporting the Center for New American dream. Please click here: http://c3.newdream.org/...
Thank you all who have signed up the pledge to Buy Local food during the month of July. As you may remember, the person who signs up the most pledges wins a designer eco-friendly garden. I decided to work really hard to win this contest ( and help the earth, too) as a way to thank my mom for all of her sacrifices for me over the years. As a single parent and a member of AFSCME, she worked numerous jobs all the time to make sure I had everything I would ever need to succeed in life, and to have luxuries like horseback riding lesson, trips to DC, and the latest clothing- these are not given when you grow up in a working class household. My mom loves to garden and I want to win so that she can have the garden of her dreams.
I am also doing this outreach because I think it awesome that the Center for a New American Dream is making it easier for us to be able to reduce carbon usage in our everyday actions. This month's focus is on buying local food- which is something I support each week through my involvement with farmers markets in DC. I can't wait to learn next month's suggestions!

I am in first place right now and only need 99 more sign-ups to seal the deal.
Many thanks,
Melissa
