One of the great things about this little city is the community of folks who come out to support the downtown farmers' market. Today's market was an Earth Day celebration, and I wore my new "Treehugger" shirt. The little yogini and I attended a family yoga practice right there on the grass to start the afternoon. After that, she strolled with her best friend, and I bought green tomatoes (just begging to be fried!), mango pepper jelly, mint (for mojitos), and rosemary (for focaccia).
I saw something on Facebook about how every day is really Earth Day, and that pretty much sums it up for me--it's nice to have a day where everyone talks about it, but one benefit to being vegan and trying to live a "kind" life is that each choice becomes a place where your own Earth Day plays out. Do I grab my reuseable bags, even though I'm running late, or do I just use the plastic ones at the supermarket? Do I buy the gluten free bread with egg in it, or do I find time to make my own, so that I don't participate in the egg industry in any way? Some choices are tougher than others, but the good thing is that we can be conscious of each one and really think through the consequences.
