Happy Earth Day!
Happy Earth Day!
Today is the 38th annual celebration of the planet we call home, and a day to step back and think about things we can do to preserve and restore our natural resources…
So that’s the official line on Earth Day, but I want to know: what do YOU think about Earth Day?
Is it a time to reflect on accomplishments?
A time to call for more action?
Or something in-between?
Send a post, let us know, then go outside and do something good for the planet.

Reading review
A good deal of my inspiration for the “DIY food” posts the past month has come from reading “Animal, Vegetable, Miracle” by Virginia based writer Barbara Kingsolver and her family. The book is a memoir of her family’s year-long experiment in only consuming food made or grown within 100 miles of their farm.
The book is a very readable mix of commentary, recipes and even suggestions through description of how one might go about changing to a more locally focused lifestyle.
I’ve heard there are other books worth reading, if “Animal, Vegetable, Miracle” is of interest to you. A friend recently suggested writer Michael Pollan’s books “The Omnivore’s Dilemma” and In “Defense of Food” are worthy reads on the subjects of food quality and the nature of food in modern culture.
If you’ve read either of these books, let us know what you think of them. I have a few “must reads” I’m working through, but plan to read one or both in the near future. Once I do, I’ll post my thoughts here.
