And I'm very much captivated by the Victory Garden concept that is executable by anyone -- container garders, raised bed gardens for those who have little or no land. <BR/><BR/>Something I read recently in the NY Times was heartening -- that many food banks have moved into farming to supply fresh foods to their clients. This adaptation is due to the trend of new immigrant populations that don't relate to canned food but are happy to be able to have fresh vegetable to make their own dishes. <BR/><BR/>Here in Tucson, we have a great organization "Desert Harvesters" that will harvest any extra fruit that would otherwise be wasted by the many of us who have inherited citrus trees on our land. I mean really, after eating grapefruit for breakfast, lunch and dinner you're begging your friends to take a few home whenever they visit. <BR/><BR/>I've been thinking about merging the Victory Garden concept and food bank's need for fresh food by encouraging my neighbors to grow gardens and donate their extra veggies to the local food bank. <BR/><BR/>And let's hope the White House does create its own Victory Garden. What better way to model sustainability and a new way of being part of the change we need.<BR/><BR/>mkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3832599538294686483.post-86701269283292918602009-01-13T09:27:00.000-08:002009-01-13T09:27:00.000-08:00Whenever Israel begins an offensive like the one w...Whenever Israel begins an offensive like the one we are currently watching, it never ceases to amaze me how virulent the objections to Israel's actions are and how quickly the world begins anti-war protests. Yet, when the tragedies like those in Zimbawe, Somalia, etc are visited daily on its citizens, there is silence in the community. <BR/><BR/>I don't necessarily agree with Israel's reponse nor disagree, I'm just curious (and suspicious) of such strong reactions.<BR/><BR/>Just my two cents.<BR/><BR/>mkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3832599538294686483.post-68770951556691500632009-01-10T21:29:00.000-08:002009-01-10T21:29:00.000-08:00No need for a cohesive theme--that's the beauty of...No need for a cohesive theme--that's the beauty of blogging.
