If we all did it, we might have a better chance of continuing to live on the planet. <br /><br />Because I have a child and I want her to inherit at least SOME chance of a decent life/climate. <br /><br />Because I love it. <br /><br />Because the food I grow tastes so much better. <br /><br />Because it is not full of chemical residues which may harm me.<br /><br />Because I feel obliged to my ancestors and my future decendants to do, the best I can.<br /><br />Becaue I am worth it ;-)Compostwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09028585447065282738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1412316033303635508.post-57745099559689842562010-10-01T13:47:11.048-05:002010-10-01T13:47:11.048-05:00Because I love knowing that I CAN!

I can't imagine why anyone WOULDN'T want to live like this. There is such a sense of satisfaction in pulling something out of food storage that YOU grew and put by.

Cause it isn't shipped across an ocean to get to me and thus doesn't cause more pollution and that means it's fresher and tastes better. <br />Food made from scratch with your own home grown ingredients tastes better. Oh ya, and one more thing it tastes better! Do you need anymore reasons?Sparklesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02806553694200529082noreply@blogger.com
