Have you been reading the Path to Freedom website, about a family in Pasadena that has converted their entire 1/5 acre property to farming? Very exciting stuff. This can be a terrible time ahead, or it can present us with an unprecedented opportunity to change our wasteful ways.<BR/><BR/>Jane in MassachusettsJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06070465496649403912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275369479742345722.post-13304328328477319772008-06-19T17:42:00.000-07:002008-06-19T17:42:00.000-07:00Beautifully produced post.

You are absolutely right. <BR/>It's not like Global Warming is just some external thing that is happening on it's own. We have to look at what we are doing that is causing it and then try to do our part as much as possible to turn it around. If we continue in the same old ways, we will soon be faced with life and death choices. It's happening! We need to WAKE UP!<BR/>Before it's too late if not already.<BR/>Thanks for putting it out there.

I don't know if I could change now, though for health reasons I know I should, not to mention for environmental reasons. <BR/>Here in Australia we are still suffering the effects of a long term drought even though other areas along the coast are out of trouble now, we people from inland where most of the grains, fruits and vegetables are grown are still in trouble. The effects of global warming have caused the rain bands to shift away from the agricultural areas resulting in the rains we should have been getting falling over the sea.linda mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17426368991644308588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275369479742345722.post-23264528003200728502008-06-09T21:15:00.000-07:002008-06-09T21:15:00.000-07:00Great post, Green Thumb!

Especially here there is a growing concern about the bio-fuel industry and diverting grain and legume crops to growing corn and other bio-fuel crops.kate smudgeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10564410520744285676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275369479742345722.post-61672396730965166432008-06-08T15:18:00.000-07:002008-06-08T15:18:00.000-07:00Your site is wonderful and I love it.

My mother was an active gardener and I used to do that when I was in Benaras and here in the U.S. I still buy plants and try to keep them alive in the patio. Keep writing about all the plants. I was trying to find the Botanical name of Rangoons Creeper and was happy to see that in your Blog. Here in Florida, we do have many plants that grow in India,but I don't know of the Botanical name for all the plants. It is good to see that in your site. Thanks for sharing your garden and knowledge with us. ammaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275369479742345722.post-23079488935867748072008-06-04T18:25:00.000-07:002008-06-04T18:25:00.000-07:00OK...I've gone two days vegetarian now, except for...OK...I've gone two days vegetarian now, except for a little octopus yesterday, and a few bites of chicken today...but all vegies otherwise...and am working toward TOTAL vegies...hopefully tomorrow!<BR/>Thankyou for inspiring me!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04402220963886597754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275369479742345722.post-91874785433808699532008-06-02T20:04:00.000-07:002008-06-02T20:04:00.000-07:00You have gotten me thinking...not only about veget...You have gotten me thinking...not only about vegetarianism, but also got me thinking about growing food, and now I am an expectant gardener...awaiting my tomatoes and yellow beans!!!

While vegetables are so much more renewable, I can't say that the current practice of slash and burn agriculture in the amazon basin is good either... it's definitely causeing problems of it's own... I suspect that someone is going to have to start thinking creatively to come up with an answer we can all live with. Currently, here in America where we're losing a huge amount of our farm land to housing, I feel almost obligated to grow some of my own food in the garden, but I don't see many of my neighbors feeling the same way...Claudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04568424354642247198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275369479742345722.post-15370495057197902292008-05-31T03:20:00.000-07:002008-05-31T03:20:00.000-07:00I'm a vegetarian and have been for a long time, fo...I'm a vegetarian and have been for a long time, for all sorts of reasons. But the problem of the food supply is one that would have convinced me even if I was a meat lover.<BR/><BR/>I agree that what you eat is a personal thing. My family all eat meat, though not a lot, and I cook it for them.

Even as a little girl I'd rather eat fruit and veggies than meat.<BR/><BR/>It is of course for people to decide if they want to cut down on eating meat or stop eating it altogether. But, if no one ate meat we could feed all the people on earth and no one would have to starve. And there would be no blood on your plate.<BR/><BR/>Excellent post Green Thumb!Yolanda Elizabet Heuzenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02506031220151023088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275369479742345722.post-70558422943570497992008-05-30T08:30:00.000-07:002008-05-30T08:30:00.000-07:00So true and much needed..

I am not vegetarian but I eat very little meat, and I am always surprised with the amount of meat people eat in restaurants and in many homes. In Portugal it is absolutely exaggerated. <BR/><BR/>A few years ago I read somewhere that half of cereal production in the world was used to feed cattle! I wonder how can it be.
