Mix it up on Earth Day
April 22 is Earth Day. What will you do on this day to celebrate the diversity of life on our planet? What will you do promote a healthier environment? My mom thinks I should start a compost pile. Our local Home Depot is selling compost bins for $35. This would be a pretty affordable way to make a difference by cutting down on yard and kitchen trash and nourishing the soil in my yard.
Publix GreenWise Market magazine recommends I honor Earth Day by putting together a tropical snack mix with ingredients from around the world. Each yummy item listed below comes from a crop grown in ways that protect the rain forest.

that seems like the opposite of honoring Earth day. All that fruit had to make a pretty big carbon footprint being transported from all of those wonderful countries. In place of this, please truly honor Earth day by finding out how many wonderful local fruits you have in your area and make a delicious snack.
