Two days left to Grow Organics!

July 13, 2007

organicapples.jpg We're almost there! In the past week, more than ten thousand people have signed the petition to Grow Organics. We only need a couple thousand more to meet our goal, and we've got just over two days to do it.

So far more than 50 of you have posted about the Grow Organics campaign on your blogs, and many more of you have mentioned it on forums and on myspace. But with only two days left, the time has come for direct action: If you know anyone who would want to sign this petition, drop them a line to make sure they've seen it!

In Congress, work on the Farm Bill continues -- for an analysis of the latest, head on over to Mulch.

And if you're hungry for even more talk on organics and a whole lot of other topics, check out one of the 23 blogs who posted a link to the petition in the past week!

Amy Pritchard, Charlotte Local Food, Cooler than the Cat, Crafty Celtic Housewife, Darlene, Edible Nation, blog of Edible Communities, EnviroMom (great name, don't you think?), someone's Experimentation with Blogs, Food Person, Foodphiles, Girl Detective, Green Talk, Heart Rock Garden, Local Food North Nevada, Mind Body Spirit
, Mint Green Lifestyle, Mothering on the Spectrum, One/Change, Organic Connection, Rawket Science, Tempest in a Teapot, The Future Earth, The Perfect Bite, This Modern Period, Up the Down Staircase, and of course Worsted Witch.

Thanks so much to everyone who's been spreading the word -- keep up the good work!
