"If every U.S. citizen ate just one meal a week (any meal) composed of locally and organically raised meats and produce, we would reduce our country’s oil consumption by over 1.1 million barrels of oil every week. That’s not gallons, but barrels. Small changes in buying habits can make big differences. Becoming a less energy-dependent nation may just need to start with a good breakfast." -Steven Hopp "Oily Food" Anyone from a curious beginer to a seasoned gardening expert are welcome to join and …

But, I believe those with artistic talent or philosophical wisdom need to come together to help improve o …
