Seed swaps: One of the most potentially vibrant, versatile and engaging websites for buying, selling and swapping seeds... says TreeHugger

Seed swaps made easier – do you think you will use it?

I can’t tell you how happy I was seeing that e-mail in my inbox. It’s not so easy to spot new, great ideas, so if you have one let the world know about it and send e-mails, blog or make video. SeedLiving new website for buying, selling and swapping open pollinated seeds and live plants.  

Anna-Monique wrote in the e-mail: 

“Users may choose to sell or swap within their own regions. The fees for using the site are pay-what-you-can. If users would prefer to give their seeds away for free but have the postage paid, they may put them on SeedLiving’s Trading Table. We are also looking for bloggers to contribute gardening news & tips for their growing area.
At some point in the future, we hope everyone with access to the internet will be able to make a living or supplement their income from open pollinated, untreated seeds and live plants, while, at the same time, promoting and enhancing biodiversity on our planet.”

Fresh food not fast food - says Patti Lynn

"FRESH educates viewers about the burgeoning food movement emerging as an alternative to today's industrial food system. The film also is intended to be viewed in a manner that brings people together for discussion and collective action -- and that's where you come in.

You can spur your own community to action by hosting a FRESH movie screening. Click here for more details.

In homes, libraries, and schools across the country, viewers of the film will be asked to take action with our Value [the] Meal Campaign by signing the petition to Retire Ronald McDonald. Retiring Ronald, the single most recognized junk food icon, is a critical first step in preventing the next generation from continuing to experience the staggering human toll of diet-related disease."
