Update on the Fair Farm Bill!

Moravian students in Dr. Diane Husic's Redefining Prosperity: Moving Toward a Culture of Sustainability Class will remember John Place the founder and proud owner of Keepsake Farm & Dairy. He has been a guest speaker in numerous environmental classes here. 


Well, John's story was just profiled in a write-up on the Fair Farm Bill initiative that I wrote about in my previous blogs! Here's the article by Lynn Olanoff as it appeared in Express-Times! 


Moravian's Environmental Coalition (ECO) set up our own call in table. We recruited 24 students to call PA Senator Bob Casey and urge him to support the Fair Farm Bill.


With our help, Mara Schechter, chief of the initiative in the Bethlehem Area, surged pass her 200 call goal by 100 calls! Statewide 830 people called in to support the bill.
