Today is Earth Day so I felt it appropriate to acknowledge 
a topic on sustainability.
   
From the www.EarthDay.org site...

ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT
   

"Everyone know eating fresh fruits and vegetables is an important part of any healthy diet.  But did you  know that if you buy your produce at a supermarket or grocery store, chances are you're buying fruits and vegetables that have lost nearly half of their original nutritional value?

According to the Institute of Food Research, one of the world's leading food science organizations, the majority of produce in grocery stores has often lost nearly 45% of its nutritional value by the time you purchase it!

Produce actually begins losing nutrients as soon as it is harvested.  Once fruits and vegetables stop receiving nutrients from their parent plant, vine, or tree, they begin to break down their own organic material for energy.  As a result, carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and other key nutrients begin to disappear.  The longer the produce sits, the more nutrients it loses."

The moral of the story is EAT LOCAL as often as possible.

IRISH PRAYER:
May God give you...
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a proise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends, 
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song, 
And an answer for each prayer.

MY FAVORITE QUOTE OF THE MONTH:

The thing that counts most in pursuit
of happiness is choosing the right 
traveling companion!

I'm so blessed to have found the right one :-)
