Last night, Andy and I took the children to a live earth gathering at friend Lucinda's organic farm (Paradise Farm and Garden) to listen to the broadcast of LIVE EARTH and to discuss our own impact and possible solutions to the issues of climate change and global warming, among other things. During the gathering, we brainstormed ways to act locally, regionally, at the state level, nationally and internationally. It was nice to chat with informed, like-minded people who knew what they thought and could articulate it in positive ways. We decided that we would try to organize an open forum discussion in our local area, inviting citizens, experts and legislators/local politicians to come and discuss these very same issues. We all merged our contacts and learned that together we can do some pretty serious networking. It was a nice evening and the kids did fairly well, considering there weren't any other children there and the focus wasn't really on their level....they did very well (even though the goats were let out and they ended up covered in sand by the end of the evening....)

Organize your own local discussion....together we can make a difference and help change happen!
Stop by the Coolspring Farmer's Market in Sykesville and brainstorm with us. We'd love to chat with you over herbal tea and yummy samples!
