Kev’s Patch

A couple of weeks back I posted about the Kev’s Patch campaign started by Darren at Green Change, which I heard about through Gavin. I thought it was a great idea and wrote an email to the Prime Minister about it, asking him to organise an organic vegie patch at his Canberra residence, The Lodge.

Well, Darren and Gavin and I decided that if we wanted this campaign to take off, we’d need an official website. So here it is: KevsPatch.com.

At the moment, we’ve got a few sample letters and ideas for you to use to show your support for this idea. But it’s well worth subscribing to the blog, so you can get updated when we add free graphics for you to download, and get a petition going for you to sign.

I think this will be a fun way to get some eco-education happening in Australia. Organic gardening is better for the planet than conventional gardening because it reduces soil and water pollution, and so is eating local food because it cuts down on transport emissions. You can’t get any more eco-friendly than food grown organically in your own backyard!

Please give us a visit over at KevsPatch.com and leave a comment telling us why you think the PM should plant some vegies!
