Cooks can do their part to help save the EarthI came across this great article on philly.com and wanted to share it with you. So many of us have made significant changes in our lifestyles by changing our bulbs, saying no to plastic bags and bottles and recycling and are looking to do more.

Newgent, a Fairlawn, Ohio, native, said she was motivated to write the book after learning more about climate change and the negative way carbon emissions are changing the environment.
