There has been much said about the quality of the Cafeteria food in the public school lunches. Have you wondered why it is an issue? Have you thought there could be alternatives to what you and all your friends are eating everyday? If so, find out more. Sue Sheff writes here about all that is wrong with our food in the schools.

This involves getting in touch with the school authorities, taking necessary permissions to enable the project, write proposal and seek approval. The venture can be published at the local newspaper as well. One aspect of it would be to detail the sources of food being served. Who the caterers are, how far is the location of food, what is the carbon footprint of the food being served? In addition, the nutrition value of the food can also be a case for study.
Simple Serve is about community service options close to home. I look at what's out there to volunteer for and update the blog. This blog is like a clearinghouse for projects. I get my info from the library, the community centers, the senior centers, educational institutions and the municipal office. It is one thing to be a part of the community and it is another matter to belong and be social in it.
