About Project
How many of us really know how far our organic products have traveled before they reach our table. I am looking for pictures of organic products (raw food, packaged goods, cleaning products, clothing and anything else that claims to be organic) that I can post on this blog for anyone to view and discuss. The images do not have to be good or even high quality, a camera phone might be a good option, but if you would like to get fancy with the photo's then go for it. Eventually I will submit the images to create a google earth application with information about where these products originated and how many miles they have traveled, along with the gas consumption. You can send images to my e-mail address: kaddcox@gmail.com. Thanks for the help!!
What to do:
1. take a photo of something organic
2. look to see where the product was shipped from
3. send me the information about and where the product was shipped from and where you are located
4. check out the blog to see if I have posted your photo along with a milage map

What an interesting project.
I'd also be interested to see how much distance must be covered in the manufacturing process of a product. How many miles must be traversed for a tube of Burt's Bees lip balm? What about the cherry pie at Costco?
Think about the fuel costs, too. Gas isn't going to be $1.72 for much longer - seems we've all forgotten how in August we were paying $4.00 per gallon and re-thinking our dependence on trucked-in food. Now that winter is here and fresh stuff is hard to find, that conversation's nowhere to be heard.
You know, I never pay attention to where dried or canned food comes from, only fresh food. You blog is going to make me look twice before I buy stuff next time.
