links we like
Project Label, a new website started by Columbia alum Brian
Foo. It creates "social" nutrition labels for companies evaluating them in different categories
of corporate social responsibility, based on user votes. Search everything from Starbucks to
Louis Vuitton to Proctor & Gamble! The Eat Well Guide, an awesome search
engine for local, sustainable, and organic foods. Type in a keyword or phrase (e.g. "organic
corn" or "sustainable chilean sea bass" or "gluten-free cake mix") and your zipcode or city, and
it will find farms, markets, restuarants, and more that carry exactly what you want! TreeHugger is a media newsfeed that combines articles,
news, posts, and more relating to sustainability, climate change, and various other environmental
issues. It calls itself a "one-stop shop for green news, solutions, and product information,"
and is great for researching the latest news on everything from wind energy in Southern
California to Chrysler's new electric car to endangered Sumatran tigers. A Discover Magazine
article on the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch," an enormous landfill of plastic trash in the
northern Pacific Ocean twice the size of Texas! Michael Pollan, author of The Omnivore's
Dilemma and other food-related books, most recently In Defense of Food: An Eater's
Manifesto. Both books are award winning best-sellers and must-reads for anybody interested
in food, sustainability, or nutrition. Unless otherwise noted, CoreFoods is not affiliated with any of
