There are many ways to celebrate Earth Day. There are festivals to raise awareness, park and road cleanups scheduled, plastic to be removed from beach and waterfronts.  People plant trees, flowers and gardens.  They start compost bins.  Turn in their plastic bags for reusable, say no to straws at restaurants choosing to bring their own steel straw with them.  This is a day of awareness.  This is the day to learn and know that every little act has great impact.  This is our Earth, it is our children's and grandchildren's future.  

Buy local, buy from small farms that believe in raising food that is wholesome and sustainable.  Raise and preserve your own food.  Support small businesses. Stoop and pick up that litter instead of walking over it.  Add more fruits and veggies to your diet.  Adopt a road and keep it litter free, walk when you can, bike when you can, carpool when you can.  All these little things add up....your great grandchildren will think of you and appreciate the efforts you made to provide them with this world that has been so good to us.

Here are some food ideas that we are sharing today to help you in your quest to protect the Earth and all it's many blessings that we enjoy.
