While every day is really Earth Day (where else would we go?), it is a good reminder to think about our place in the great salad bowl of life and rededicate ourselves to living lightly on great mother Gaia.One of the biggest impacts you can have on your ecological footprint is to make food choices that are lower on the food chain, closest to their natural state, sourced close to home, and grown with minimal use of chemical inputs.
As a bonus, these foods also tend to be the tastiest, freshest, most nutrient dense, and most supportive of a vibrant local economy. So I invite you to make yourself a big tasty salad - from your yard, fields, forests, and/or markets - and think about what it means to be a citizen of earth.
A good place to start is with this Earth Day post on Gardening in the Round (where you can also find inspiration to grown your own!).
