Local organics for the lazy yuppie – with hypocrisy

In a new idea that HAS to make the list at Stuff White People Like, Trevor Paque will come to your house and build you an organic garden if you’re too lazy to do it yourself. That includes all the follow-up such as weekly weeding, then harvesting.

And, where do you get this?

Well, nowhere else but the capital city for Stuff White People Like folks — San Francisco.

But, there are similar trends elsewhere, and in the usual SWPL hotspots — New York City (Hamptons), Berkeley and Santa Fe mentioned by name in the story.

However, it’s time for a hypocrisy alert. How much gas is being burned, and carbon dioxide emitted, by to-your-door delivery of local food?
