CALL for ENTRIES: Billboard Diversity

EAT
more

I ate broccoli at dinner last night. *yawn* Did you know there are approximately 30,000 edible plants on this planet? Did you also know that a mere 50 crops make up 90% of the calories consumed?

This next Call is another excellent way to celebrate diversity. Take a look…
