Interview: Robin McDermott, Localvore Movement

Wednesday January 24, 2007
Neal Charnoff

Colchester, VT



We continue our series this week on the changing climate with a look at the "Localvore" movement. That's the effort to eat only locally grown foods.

Proponents say a big benefit is that it saves on transportation and lessens a dependence on fossil fuels.

Robin McDermott is one of the founders of Localvore in the Mad River Valley. She spoke with Neal Charnoff about how she got interested in the Localvore effort.
