"Global thinking and local action both require understanding of ecological systems, but ecological management can be effective only if it takes into consideration the visceral and spiritual values that link us to the earth. Therefore ecological thinking must be supplemented by humanistic value judgements concerning the effect of our choices and actions on the quality of the relationship between humankind and earth, in the future as well as the present.
-Rene Jules Dubos, The wooing of the earth-
Our goal in this blog is only to inform. To help people get more enjoyment from the earth, by eating better and urban gardening to better mental health and overall fitness, as well as enjoying nature first hand through backwoods camping and hiking. To help people get closer to the earth, thus developing a relationship with it. To understand the importance of minimizing our carbon footprint to protect the earth for future generations.
We are not "Hippies" here. Although my girlfriend is a vegetarian, I am not nor do I intend to be. That is not to say that our eating habits do not affect our enviroment. I don't have long hair, or much hair for that matter. We just thought it would be good to create a resource for people to come and learn and to teach, so please enjoy our blog and please respect it for all readers. Thank-you. -Rob and Ella-
