BANG FOR THE BITE
If 10,000 Denver Biters eat one locally produced apple instead of a nonlocal one, we'll save enough gas to fill the tanks of 50 cars.
COCKTAIL FACT
In 1893, Denver became the first major metro area to allow women to vote.

Does it get any better than a Bite just for Denverites?
The Bite
Try winning a breathtaking prize just for spreading the word about it. Let all your peeps in the Denver/Boulder area know that the Bite'll soon be rockin' the Rockies, and you could win gear from Patagonia. Totally different from the Daily Tips, our Denver Local Bite will serve up the latest and greatest green people, places, events, and products on the Mile High local scene each weekday. (And it's not all downhill from here - there are more local Bites on the way this fall.)The Benefits
- Having friends in high (eco-impact) places. We'll be your personal guide to all the green goings-on in Denver and beyond.
- A huge (mountain) range of tips. Don't just buy local: connect, listen, wear, see, and taste local.
- Elevating your resource savings. Example: It takes 17 times more oil to transport nonlocal food compared to stuff produced nearby.
- You-won't-find-these-in-the-lowlands picks. Learn where to get Denver-grown and Denver-made goodies (not just what's at Whole Foods).
Personally Speaking
The Denver Biter Team is psyched about having one more excuse to "test" the comfort food at WaterCourse Foods.Wanna Try?
- Tell your friends about the Denver Bites, and you'll be entered to win $200 from Patagonia.com (plus, your friends will get a special offer from the Denver Patagonia store).
- Check out a sample Denver Local Bite or just sign up already. Then look for your first Bite on Thu., Sep. 4.
- If you hang your hat elsewhere, sign up for your Local Bite in Chicago, LA, NY, or SF, or one of the other eight places we're heading soon.

I know close to zero about Denver, so I'm gonna write about Fort Collins, which is about an hour outside Denver. It's home to the New Belgium Brewing Company, which makes some of my favorite beers, including Fat Tire ale. But wait, there's more.... The company is purely run by green power, using mostly wind energy, with 10% of its energy coming from a unique source: the production process. New Belgium actually captures the methane released by bacteria that clean the brewery's water. If only there were a way to create electricity from all the editorial brainstorming that goes down at the Bite's offices...
