 Slow Food is a global, grassroots organization with supporters in 150 countries around the world who are linking the pleasure of good food with a commitment to their community and the environment.

A non-profit member-supported association, Slow Food was founded in 1989 to counter the rise of fast food and fast life, the disappearance of local food traditions and people’s dwindling interest in the food they eat, where it comes from, how it tastes and how our food choices affect the rest of the world.

The Youth Villages AmeriCorps community garden began in 2007, as an AmeriCorps service learning project designed to create a garden space for learning and meditation at the Youth Villages Inner Harbour Campus in Douglasville, GA. The first planting occurred in the spring of 2008, and every spring, summer and fall, AmeriCorps members, students, staff and teachers plant and harvest organic vegetables, fruits, herbs and flowers.

 Student's Organization for Sustainability is a student run club at Las Positas College in Livermore, CA.

Our goal is to promote awareness of our environmental impact through education, activities and events. We plan to organize tree plantings, coordinate volunteer activities and work together with professors, other students and clubs on campus as well as with local organizations to help foster knowledge of ways to share information and live more sustainable lifestyles.
