I am preparing an exhibit for a Children and Youth day in Hawaii for thousands of kids, their parents and educators. My humble request to the group is to help me come up with a few simple mantras, key phrases, about food sustainability that children could easily understand. So put your thinking caps on and share your inspirational thoughts with us, especially those of you who work closely with wonderfully enlightened children of your own. We will also be distributing pledge cards to the children, their parents, teachers, etc., to allow them to make a commitment to food sustainability. The pledge card can continue the theme of LETTUCE (Let us) commit to... ie. planting a garden at home, for the poor, or for the elderly, or LETTUCE commit to eating more fresh local food, etc. If you have any other ideas for hands-on fun activities that can serve to inspire the next generation of food producers, please do share them. many thanks David A.
