Wine, local food, and local resilience: part 1 (original)A few weeks ago, the sustainability media outlet treehugger.com ran an article titled "Is Biodynamic and Organic Wine Still Green If It Is Shipped Halfway Around The World?"

Last night's presidential speech on the Gulf oil spill had been pre-billed by the Washington Post as Barack Obama's "Jimmy Carter moment."
