Sustainability doesn’t just start at home…it starts with your stomach!  Things we unavoidably consume daily are ripe with opportunities to optimize for a greener tomorrow.  We’ve gone and done some digging in the American diet and found out something that’s obvious to anyone who’s eaten out– Americans eat too much meat.  So, we’re kicking off our personal projects in sustainability by scaling back significantly.  Hear how we’ve made eating only one meat/dairy dish a week work for us, from our personal comfort to our household budget.

It’s a lot to cram into five minutes, so look for future episodes to contain recipe ideas, tips on shopping without breaking the bank, and much more.  Don’t forget to email us!  We’ll read our mailbag on the show.

This is just a short little teaser and promo for Greentime. We’re testing out the infrastructure and thought it’d make a fun way to also spread the word!

The music is “Concrete Horizon” from Zen Debris. They’re a phenomenal band. You should totally check them out.

If you’re reading this post, then you’ve discovered that Weatherlight Productions, the makers of Freetime, are embarking on a new “green” video blog project. We’re not going to tell you anything more now, because we’re just beginning to bring the infrastructure up. You’re quite the sleuth, though, and good for you. Keep your eyes peeled for the new “green Freetime”.
