thought i would join in the full experience here... the neighborhood organic food coop. it's one of the largest in the country. you work about 3 1/2 hour a month and in return you have access to local organic heaven!

interesting fact:
"The Park Slope Food Co-op just announced that it be switching to 100% wind-generated electricity from New York and Pennsylvania. The co-op board voted 66-0 in favor of the switch.

General Coordinator Joe Holtz: "We want to do our part to lessen U. S. dependence on foreign oil, reduce our emissions of CO2 and harmful pollutants, and raise people's awareness" which apparently will include encouraging co-op members to make the switch, too. "
