Sunday, April 18th was the Earth Day celebration at Heron's Head Park in San Francisco. It also was the unveiling of the Center for Ecoliteracy, which is the most "off grid" building on public land in the US.

We had a great time, meeting new people and checking out the coolest green building we've seen yet!

The Neighborhood Fruit girls will be participating in this Sunday's Earth Day celebration at Heron's Head Park in beautiful Bayview. Come out and have some fun with us! Check out the faboulous Eco-Center (so excited to see a living machine in person!!!).

This Instructable is kinda awesome. The guy manages to convince people that you can become a buffed green hero by gardening and growing your own food. An he manages to talk about fashion, oh yeah!

I was doing some reseach on the health outcomes of increased consumption of fruits and vegetables and stumbled upon these awsome maps showing fruit and vegetable consumption by date!

Percentage of U.S. adults aged ≥ 18 years who consumed fruit two or more times per day and vegetables three or more times per day, by state.

Did you know that 15.5% of the waste in California is food waste? Shocking, isn't it!? And that approximately 200 million pounds of fruit from urban sources goes to waste, most of it landfilled?

Here at Neighborhood Fruit, we're pretty passionate about increasing access for all people to affordable and healthy food sources, and eliminating waste. Today, we found a kindred spirit, Johnathan Bloom writes for the Wasted Food Blog and is currently writing a book about food waste in America. His blog is smart, well researched and funny.
