FamilyFarmed.org in "Green Hall of Fame"
Jim Slama of FamilyFarmed.org, a N2Y2 Featured Project, was recently featured in The Wednesday Journal's Green Hall of Fame, along with four other local eco-activists.
He sure has done a lot for great work for the organic food movement:
"It was Jim Slama's grassroots volunteerism, plus his significant reporting in Conscious Choice: The Journal of Ecology and Natural Living, that led, in 1996, to the formation of Sustain, an environmental public interest group and the shutting down of the Northwest Incinerator in Chicago. Next, Slama and Sustain teamed with the Organic Trade Association to develop the Keep "Organic" Organic campaign. The organization played a key role in convincing the USDA to disallow food which was irradiated, genetically engineered, or grown in sewage sludge to be labeled as organic. They gained momentum by creating a free trade, organic food system in the Midwest called FamilyFarmed.org. In 2005, 2006, and 2007 the FamilyFarmed.org EXPO drew media attention and thousands of attendees."
