The Great Rice & Beans Experiment
Hi, my name is Maria and I'm about to live for 30 days on $30 worth of food. I'm doing this primarily to raise money for Blandford Nature Center and Mixed Greens, but I also hope to raise awareness about the limited diet available to people living on a low income.
BetweenApril 10 and May 9, 2008, I will not spend more than $30 TOTAL for food.In a typical month, I spend about $250 on groceries, coffee, andrestaurant meals, so this is a big reduction for me. At the end of themonth I'll donate the difference to Blandford Nature Center and MixedGreens. Along the way, I'll be sharing my experiences at RiceBeansMixedGreens.Wordpress.com.You can follow along as I attempt to survive on a diet heavy on starch,local food that I've traded labor for, and foraged food like dandeliongreens.
I hope to raise $2500 over the next 30 days. If you canhelp me get there, I appreciate it. If not, please check the blog forother ways you can support local food and this great organization.
All donations made through this page will go directly into Blandford Nature Center & Mixed Greens' PayPal account.
