Agree! Plus it feels good and it is just the right thing to do. I also think we all have some circle of influence, perhaps large, or perhaps so small that we don’t even realize it. I like to think that at a minimum, I influence my family, my young kids, maybe my neighbors, friends, and colleagues to minimal/varying degrees.
I veg garden because I grew up veg gardening. We did not use best practices back then and I didnt begin implementing best practices myself until recently (I am 55). Odds are, that if my kids garden as adults, they will start with best practices and improve things over time, influence others in there own way, etc. Multiply all of that across just the members of this forum. So, basically, we are saving the world!
Good job to us!!!
