Naked Baer - your guide to eating sustainably

When I visited UC Berkeley campus as a field observation last month, I found a magazine called "Naked Bear"at their dining center, food shop, and cafe.

This magazine contains of lots of articles related to food sustainability issues and practices. The magazines provides Cal students many educational information with nice pictures and interesting stories, and encourages them to get involved to those action.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Naked Bear Magazine was founded in Spring 2010 to educate and inform Cal students and the campus community about food sustainability issues and practices. Undergraduate and graduate students from a wide variety of academic fields took the DeCal Class Food Sustainability Journalism where they wrote articles that focused on topics relating to Cal students and Berkeley residents. - by Cal Dining

Also, I have found one local food store just in front of dinning center, not as a part of Farmer's Market but as a snack stand.
Cal Dining is proud to announce its alliance with the "Buy Fresh, Buy Local" campaign -- a sister organization of the Community Alliance with Family Farmers and the Growers' Collaborative. "Buy Fresh, Buy Local" is a group which is committed to "...helping consumers find and choose local products while building relationships between growers, food artisans, farmers' markets retailers, restaurants and institutions."
By signing a contract with "Buy Fresh, Buy Local", Cal Dining has agreed to the minimum standard of at least 10% local purchases, with the goal of 25%. We are proud to announce that already, we are way ahead of the minimum -- with up to 60% of our produce purchases, in season, coming from within a 16 county radius of UC-Berkeley. http://www.caff.org/press/CAFF_and_UCBerkeley.shtml

According to Carol Ness in sustainability progress report, "by 2008 some 19 percent of Cal Dinning purchases were sustainable, defined as organic, local, fair-trade, or humane. A preference for buying locally grown produce has been adopted. All four Cal Dining halls are certified organic and have 100 percent organic salad bars. Waste oil is now being converted to bio diesel, and much of the dining-hall waste is composted."

Additionally, Cal Dining website has a list of participating farmers on their website in order to let students know where their food come from. (I believe that SFSU should also show somewhere.) Farmer'sList

At last, I found one movie which a Cal student is interviewing the other students about how to live sustainably.
