ORGANIC AUTHORITY

by Abbie Stutzer

Common Vision is the type of community-oriented group every food and environment lover wants in their state. The organization has humble roots and has grown significantly since its inception a decade ago. At its start, Common Vision dedicated itself to planting orchards at low-income schools throughout California. To achieve that goal, the band of Northern Californian activists jumped into their pair of retrofitted buses (that ran on recycled vegetable oil and solar power) to hoof it to the schools. Since then, Common Vision has planted more than 6,500 fruit trees at hundreds of California schools that span from San Diego to Sacramento.
