                    Climate change seems too big for individuals to fix, but that’s partly because we're trapped in a cheap energy mindset, Michael Pollan writes in the <EM>New York Times</EM>. Low-cost energy has allowed us to rely on distant specialists for most of our needs, and we have a moral duty to fight that mindset: by gardening.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.newser.com/story/25037.html"><P>
                    Gardening may not seem vital, but because food forms up to a fifth of your carbon footprint, growing even a little can mean a lot. It could also catch on and become a green viral fad, Pollan writes. But most of all, it’s empowering, a reminder that you're not helpless and "your body is still good for something.”

                                            Food makes up as much as a fifth of a person's carbon footprint, so growing your own can actually make a huge difference, Michael Pollan says.
