Earth Day Should Be EVERY Day!

I have been working on teaching the girls how to take care of our plantet earth. Chloe knows when something needs to be recycled and puts it into the appropriate bin, Kayla not so much, but she will learn.
A couple weeks ago Chloe started asking for a garden so that she could grow her own food. I am hoping that she understands that what comes out of a garden is usually what she refuses to eat, time will tell. So, my Dad got up early one morning and went to Lowes with us to get the items we needed and then came back to our house to build it- thank God for Dads! He and Chloe took care of everything to the point of planting the seeds and plants- my Mom helped Chloe with that! We already have carrots sprouting from the seeds they planted!
I am hoping to start composting soon. For those of you that do not know, I was born in Berkeley, CA, so I loved the earth from the start! And, according to Cesar that also makes me a hippie. So, peace my brothers and sisters :o)

Maybe Chloe will start eating vegetables after she feels some sort of ownership?? What a cute idea! Peace!
