The Suburban Energy and Food Chain

The Average American Family:


The average American family buys tons of cheap processed and subsidized food, uses electricity from the burning of fossil fuels, is overweight due to poor diet and lack of exercise, and sends copious quantities of garbage to landfills.

The Green Family:


The green family grows some of their own food in a family garden, and purchases some from local sources. Thus, the green family eats fresher, higher quality food while depending less on the grocery store. The green family makes the conscious choice to conserve power, and to purchase electricity from renewable sources like wind. The green family recycles and composts kitchen scraps and yard wastes, which in turn help grow fruits and vegetables in the garden. Thus the green family sends much less material to landfills.

Be above average. Be Green.
