Discussion of Kingsolver's "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle"

NEW DATE: Tuesday, April 22, 7:00pm King Library 320.

On Earth Day we will discuss "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle" from Barbara Kingsolver and Steven Hopp, and Camille Kingsolver. This book chronicles one family's year long endeavor to eat only locally grown foods.

Join us for a lively discussion of the issues raised in this book. Can eating locally have an impact on global climate change? Will eating locally result in better health?

FREE BOOKS are available to those who participate in the discussion. A limited amount of copies are available, and they will go to those who request them early.
