Mastering the Art: Of Sustainable Cooking!

So we’ve got sustainable farming. We’ve got local eating. We’ve got pasture raising of animals. But what about cooking? The last link in the chain, save for cleaning, which by the way is my favorite part of the whole process. But now, Brighter Planet is rolling out a sustainable cooking contest. What a great idea! I am so happy to be participating in this contest. Believe it or not, I’ll be judging.

Brighter Planet just launched the “Mastering the Art of Sustainable Cooking” contest, aimed at inspiring folks to reduce the environmental impact of their diet. Here is the blurb:

Brighterplanet.com is a new social website that helps people manage their environmental footprint.  With this contest, they’re looking for people to complete sustainable cooking conservation tips and share their experiences, recipes, pics etc.  The entries that have racked up the most thumbs up will be judged by a panel of environmental and culinary heavyweights (including Alice Waters, Bill McKibben, Gary Hirshberg and myself) who will determine the final winners.

The best write-up in each of the five tip categories will win a Kindle DX and a $100 gift certificate to load it up with favorite cookbooks!

How are you reducing your “foodprint?” http://blog.brighterplanet.com/sustainable-cooking/
