Who can give me a great explanation of "True Cost Accounting"?
Stephen Corbett That would be the accounting you happen to agree with.
June 11, 2013 at 4:09 pm
A Sustainable Kitchen Hi, this a great question and really involves the concept of holistic thinking. It refers to the "Triple Bottom Line" of the three 'E's of sustainability, collecting and reporting information on the 'E'nvironmental, the 'E'conomic and the social('E'quity) costs and benefits/advantages. So you are looking at it and analyzing it as an integrated whole. It also relates to LCA (Life Cycle Analysis), often referred to as embedded/embodied energy.

Garden City 2.0 Accounting shouldn't just be costs, it should also include impacts, and these can be positive and negative. For example, in an attempt to do more 'True Accounting', our Local Food Delivery scheme wants to begin keeping simple metrics for how many kg's of stock we source locally from organic producers, how many $ are staying within the local economy, thinking about measuring things that represent 'resilience return on X invested'.
True Accounting is a way to tell a story of multiple efficiencies within your practice and the impacts that has in terms of the objectives you are working towards (e.g. our business is working towards building local food resilience with Christchurch communities).

CSA means Community Supported Agriculture. You purchase a "share" in a farm and in return you receive a box of produce each week. This image taken at Cure Farm in Boulder, CO for Lexicon of Sustainability.

May 29, 2013 at 10:00 am At a supermarket in Ames, Iowa. How can eggs cost 58 cents a dozen? As I stand in front of the egg aisle pondering this question, four people all stop to buy the same eggs. Let's not kid ourselves. People buy on price, and purchasing food is no different than buying a pair of socks. It's in places like this where the good food fight needs to happen.
Venous de Milo Thanks for bringing awareness.

Tim Dull Come on people, it's just a marketing tool to get you into the store...don't make it anything more. Better for you than Cokes or Pepsi's anyway.

Alice Waters explains what an Edible Schoolyard is for the Lexicon of Sustainability.
When he’s not managing the Lexicon’s presence on Twitter, MUD BARON is the visionary Executive Director of Muir Ranch, where he has a broad range of skills and experience in growing food and working with school districts. As the former Green Policy Director in one of the most asphalt-dense areas of the Los Angeles Unified School District, Baron worked tirelessly to green-line South L.A. schools, and prior to that served as a school gardens resource specialist for over 900 LA schools.
He shares resources and ideas through his innovative use of Twitter, Facebook and other forms of social media. These tools allow him to stay in constant contact with students and gardeners across the US and strengthen his commitment to improve the health and future of kids by showing them how to improve their lives and their communities. His Twitter feed, @Cocoxochitl, recently won the 2012 Shorty awards in the Food Category. These awards are given to the best people and organizations using Twitter to produce compelling short-form, real-time social media content.
Chris Smith I do understand where you are coming from...and no, not everything needs to be digitized...but I also see the value in greater accessibility and the conservation of resources...I do really appreciate all the podcasts that The Green Horns make available and it seemed like an eBook version of the almanac would be natural outgrowth of that...Also throwing out words like "extremist" or "reactionary" is a bit unnecessary...we have enough name calling in society as it is...
