General Information

About Keri:	As a Justmeans staff writer for the Sustainable Foods editorial department, I explore the disparity between consumerism and independence through the topic of sustainability. As a self-described 'urban homesteader' I look to find the balance between a sustainable lifestyle and use of corporate convenience. I don't necessarily want to live without electricity, but I want to be comfortable if ever there comes a time that I must. I do not own a car and use my bicycle when ever possible and take the bus or carpool when bicycling is not an option. My partner Justin & I grow most of our own food, use a CSA for items with large garden footprints, and make everything from scratch using as much local, responsible and ethically procured produce as possible.

Current Organisation:	Justmeans
What kind of positive change do you want to create in the world over the next 12 months?:	I hope to dedicate even more time to speak on behalf of sustainable foods and develop a program of reasonable steps one could take to make their lives just a little bit more independent of corporate consumerism.
