Spring 2013

A Note From the Editor

Community Seeds French Connection!

I’m so excited that the Spring Issue is our first printed edition of Eco Community Seeds. This was a hard decision to make, but we feel here at Eco Community Seeds it is an important one. Even though printing is less sustainable in regards to reducing our carbon footprint, we believe that spreading the word to the masses who otherwise would not have access to Eco Community Seeds will offset the disadvantages. I hope you are as excited as we are and thank you for your continued readership!

Cheers!
