White House food garden petition

November 9, 2008 by Susie Collins 

eat the viewJoin in on this great campaign to petition President-Elect Obama to turn the White House lawn into an organic fruit and veggie garden. Go sign the petition!

We, the undersigned, are petitioning President-elect Obama to plant a large organic food garden or Victory Garden on the White House lawn with part of produce going to the White House kitchen and the rest to local food pantries. The White House is “America’s House” and should set a healthy example. President-elect Obama would not be breaking with tradition, but returning to it (the White House has had fruit and vegetable gardens before) and showing how we can meet global challenges such as food security, climate change, and energy independence.

    Great idea!

    Can someone start up a petition that they eliminate toxic laundry chemicals that then blow out from dryer vents?

    Maybe we could start a petition to Michele and Barack asking them to dry their laundry on a line in the WH organic food garden. It would catch on thoughout the land and no one would ever use a dryer again! ;-) HOPE, I has it.
