"Dig for Victory" says new blog campaign
A community of bloggers are embracing World War Two-style spirit in their quest to beat global warming. Just as millions did during the blitz, we dig for victory encourages us to pick up our spades, grow our own food and become self-sufficient.
The thinking behind the campaign is that 30% of our carbon footprint comes from the food we eat. So by eating and growing closer to home - in back garden, allotments or wherever we find the space - we can reduce our carbon footprint, a major contributor to climate change.
If you'd like to be part of the campaign, you can pledge your allegiance to the cause with this button:
By adding the button to your site, you are pledging to make the following changes to your lifestyle:
1. Growing some of my food at home or at an allotment - however modest.
2. Eating locally and seasonally where I can and reducing food miles.
3. Buying from small, local shops where I can and supporting my local economy
