Statement of Intention

How much does it cost to go local/organic shopping?

• Gasoline Cost– Fuel Economy (20 mpg)– Fuel Cost ($4/gal)– Distance (Round Trip)

• Time Cost– Cost of Time – Time Driving– Time Shopping

Distribution System

• Container Ship = Least• 18 Wheeler = More• Trip to the Grocery Store = Most

***Purchasing groceries (35 lbs or less) at an individual level constitutes the most carbon intensive aspect of our food distribution system***

The Canoe – a Vehicle to HealingFrom the Squaxin 2012 Paddle Journey Guide Book

• “[Canoe Journey] brings a holistic perspective and uphold[s] all aspects of our physical, emotional, spiritual, social, and environmental balance.”

• “incoming tide of traditional teachings”• “We can only dream of where the Canoe Way of Knowledge

will take us in the future” • “Now a big challenge for the group who went on the journey

is to figure out how to bring the spirit of the Journey back to the village and share how powerful it is.”

Farmer’s Market Distribution Expensive• $35,000 for a delivery truck; $5,000 per year in

maintenance; 5-10 mpg Gasoline Fuel Economy• 4 days at the Farmer’s Market: real and

opportunity cost• No knowledge of demand-prices must cover

losses/waste• A niche promoting low-volume consumption by

high-income individuals; more experiential than economic
