[SCE] Some issues & a solution (only 1 - but we can begin)

[Rue Furch]

First - two articles on the importance of protecting our soils, agriculture and the future of food on our little blue-ish planet.  (if you read the air quality reports out of Beijing, and consider the long term drought impacts - you know earth is browning)

And ... our own local Farmers' Guild is working on solutions to sustainable farming.  Good people, good food - yum!  

A season to celebrate what we can do locally.  Feel free to spread the word.

Have a joyous holiday season - filled with love and laughter!
