This petition drive is part of KGI's "Eat the View" campaign (EatTheView.org) which is seeking to plant healthy food gardens in high-profile, high-impact places. What better, more symbolic place to start than at the White House, "America's House?"
We, the undersigned, are asking that you instruct the White House's 13-person grounds crew to plant an organic Victory Garden on the First Lawn with the produce going to the White House kitchen and local food pantries. The White House is "America's House" and should serve as a model at a time of economic and environmental crisis. In setting aside even a small part of the White House's 18 acres for this garden and eating from it, you would not be breaking with tradition, but returning to it (the White House has had organic food gardens before) and leading by personal example on global challenges such as economic security, food security, climate change, health care, and energy independence. Thank you for considering this request and congratulations on your new roles.
