Grow plants! One way to change the planet

Ok. So today I want to talk about our Earth's air quality. Yesterday thousands of people made a stand for 350. See http://www.350.org/ . Three fifty is the amount of CO2 in parts per million in the atmosphere that is considered 'healthy'. Currently our world is surrounded by 385 parts per million of CO2. Carbon dioxide is not healthy in those numbers.

We need to make a conscious effort to reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere.

They tell us to stop driving our cars.....and I don't own one.......but I believe one person can do one simple thing to improve the quality of our air---and our planet.

GROW PLANTS. Plants remove CO2 naturally and get this.............they produce oxygen as a by-product!

Square miles of the rainforest are being destroyed every day. Some sources indicate we may loose our rainforests in the next 40 years. What does this mean? This means somehow if we don't change our ways we will need to replace millions of individual plants. Why? Because like it or not, the rainforests of the world replace the oxygen we need to BREATHE.

At this point in the Earth's history, we can not have too many plants. GROW PLANTS. Anything you like! Flowers have been shown to reduce stress and help maintain mental health. Vegetables feed us in addition to being beautiful.

GROW PLANTS!

what do do in October

Ok. So I took a couple months off of bloggin'. I mean really, what should one be doing when the weather is perfect? GARDEN!
So, what can you do in October? There is a lot you can do!
If you live in the Northwest of the United States you can start your spring crop!
Mustards, greens, spinach etc....grows slowly and hardy in the winter months.

Other things you can do? Start to improve your soil.....bring in some older manure or compost and cover your garden. Later in the season dig it in to the soil.............

Life is good all year round.
