Be Sustainable at Sequoya: In Defense of Food

September 4th, 2009 Alicia

It’s attainable! Be sustainable in September with a series of sustainable living programs at the Sequoya Branch.

On Thursday, September 17 at 7 p.m., become a part of the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s first common book program with Susan Lampert Smith. Join Susan, Science Writer and Senior Lecturer at the UW and former columnist at the Wisconsin State Journal, to discuss Michael Pollan’s In Defense of Food, being read community wide for Go Big Read. Pollan’s book is a tough, witty discourse on why food is more than the sum of its nutritional parts. Susan and her husband Matt Smith are the owners of Blue Valley Gardens, a certified organic fruit and vegetable farm located 30 miles west of Madison. Reserve a copy of In Defense of Food online.
