I was already on my journey toward living sustainably when I learned about Robin biking across the USA to spread awareness about food waste. His radical approach appealed to me. I was already gardening but I learned about foraging. Many of the weeds I was pulling are edible. Robin even showed me how to cook Purslane.

My young adult son has been shopping primarily at local farm stands for his food. He also desires to break free from the linear system of consumerism. Robin’s book, “Be the Change,” has encouraged us to reduce our waste, and shop within our local community.

I tell everyone I know about the work Robin is doing and why it’s important for all of us to be caring for our Earth and each other.
