Thanks for watching!
What's On Your Plate? had its television premiere on Discovery's Planet Green on Saturday, February 6th, and re-aired throughout the following week. Thank you to everyone who tuned in!
We also had a wonderful afternoon TV broadcast premiere party co-hosted by Clemente Soto Velez, The Sylvia Center and Discovery's Planet Green on February 6th. The Sylvia Center helped teach our kids how to make simple fun fresh foods that both satisfy and nourish. One of our greatest champions, Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer attended the screening and expressed his support for the film and his commitment to helping make the greatest impact possible, especially with politicians.

Chipotle Partnership Underway
We're thrilled that Chipotle is partnering with us to spread the
message that kids can ask these questions and take a stand for
themselves, their families and the planet.
Chipotle will host private screenings of the film in elementary schools,
local libraries and after-school programs throughout the year.
Additionally, in the spring, the film will be used to promote seed
planting with the opening of local farmers markets, CSA's and community
gardens in various regions. See their press release here. (.pdf)

Past Screening Highlight
The Indian Mountain School in rural Connecticut hosted What's On Your Plate? recently. We wanted to share with you their summary and some photos from the event.
We showed the film to both the upper school and the lower school. Sadie and Cat were happy when the younger kids (including a few of Sadie's cousins) told us their gardening stories. All year long, they are learning about the environment. The theme: Project Earth.

The Blog is Taking Questions!
We recently fielded a great question from Valerie in Miami, FL. She asked us how we can know our carbon footprint of the food we eat. Nate and Mary worked to come up
with potential answers and evaluated tools on the internet.
It seems that there is less out there to measure and evaluate our impact as consumers. If anyone has ideas, please hit us up in the comments section of our site! We're looking for lively discussion about how far our food travels.

March Forth!!!
It'll be Spring soon...
We're getting ready for planting!
Catherine, Tanya, Mary, Nate, and Cassie
