Ideas for living a healthier and environmentally responsible lifestyle

Ideas for living a healthier and environmentally responsible lifestyle
Can you imagine how beautiful it would be if we all had plenty of fruits and vegetables within our reach locally? Today more and more people are rethinking just about everything and local food production is high on the list.

Once upon a time almost every person had food from the garden at their fingertips. Today we go to supermarkets and basically eat out of a box. Look at the size of the supermarkets fresh fruit and veggies section. How big is that area compared to the rest of the buildings square footage? It’s really small when you think about it.

Now I know that we can’t all be farmers, but is it that hard to plant a few food producing trees and shrubs? No it’s really not! The joy of eating fresh healthy produce right from your home or sharing some with your neighbors is truly worthwhile.

Here are some ideas:

Plant valuable trees on your property and encourage friends and family to do the same. What are valuable trees? Well, fruit trees can be a great investment that helps feed your family and also helps the environment. Trees are our friends and our world could not exist as we know it without them.

An old friend used to say I should remember that there is strength in numbers. More people planting more food producing trees and shrubs can make a huge impact on our local supplies.
Some folks around the country are actually growing and selling fresh fruits, veggies, herbs and more right from small urban yards of about one quarter acre. One family in Pasadena California has been doing it for over ten years.

Buying local is not easy, but with time it will be. Our environment and our health can improve dramatically with new thinking and real action.
Having locally grown food offers us fresher food and less dependence on fossil fuels and that’s a good thing, don’t you think? Why should we be eating mangoes from Mexico in Florida, it just makes no sense does it?
Let’s help buying locally become a reality, get involved in your community and start community gardens. A healthier lifestyle and cleaner environment begins with each and every one of us.

Faces of Foreclosure

David and Rhona lost their Florida home a few weeks ago. Now they stand on the intersection of I-95 and Hallandale Blvd asking for handouts. They collect enough daily to eat a meal and stay in a cheap motel.

I asked if I could take a photo and publish it. They said yes and signed a release for me. I gave them some cash for the shot and asked a few more questions.

David was a tile setter and Rhona a housewife. David injured his leg and was unable to work.

More later in an article I will be writting on the Faces of Foreclosure.

At the park one Sunday afterrnoon

While walking on Hollywood beach I noticed this scene and decided to snap a photograph. I added a dry brush filter to the image. What do you like or dislike about this image? Do you feel that it tells a story? Do you see the light in a pleasing way?

Meeting Nice people with Tasty Jelly's and Jams oh my, so delicious! Meet Grandma Baa's

It was a beautiful day to take a stroll at the Fruit and Spice Park in the Redlands, Florida today!

My wife Aly and I love nature and the outdoors very much. Today the park sponsored a green eco friendly festival. While visiting all the different vendors we met Grandma Baa's and tried several samples of her jams and jellies. Wow, delicious and different! I tried the pumpkin jam and it was perfect. What a smart buy and flavor with the holidays right around the corner.

After speaking with Grandma Baa's (Mrs. Johnson) I asked if they had a catalogue? To my surprise she said no! I asked if I could take a quick photo on site and give it to her to use. She said sure, why not. Well here's  the shot with a little message on it. I will be emailing it to her later.

Her jellies and Jams really are tasty and maybe you can visit her web site and try a few.

Well, take care now and come back in a few days for more of my blog.

Peace!
