ALDI to Have All Reusable, Recyclable, or Compostable Packaging by 2025

"By 2020, ALDI says 100 percent of their consumable packaging will include a How2Recycle label, which is a labeling method that lets people know how to recycle the item. By 2020, ALDI also plans to make private-label product packaging that’s easier for customers to reuse."

Long Live Microbiomes!

"Not only is transforming agriculture to regenerative practices a likely win for our health—and for nature more broadly—it can also be a key climate solution. As we’ve written previously, humanity can sequester carbon and improve nutrition through the regenerative farming of land and sea. This approach can be applied at all scales, including Climate Victory Gardens in yards, local parks, terraces and rooftops."

Getting the word out

The Garden was representing as the food vendor at the Richmond Drag Story Hour today. We got to witness Monarch Butterflies emerge from their chrysalis and enjoyed time meeting more like-minded folks.

What is Sacred?

"All places and all beings of the earth are sacred. It is dangerous to designate some places sacred when all are sacred. Such compromises imply that there is a hierarchy of value, with some places and some living beings not as important as others. No part of the earth is expendable; the earth is a whole that cannot be fragmented, as it has been by the destroyers’ mentality of the industrial age. The greedy destroyers of life and bringers of suffering demand that sacred land be sacrificed so that a few designated sacred places may survive; but once any part is deemed expendable, others can easily be redefined to fit the category of expendable. As Ruth Rudner points out in her article “Sacred Land,” what spiritual replenishment is possible if one must travel through ghastly fumes and ravaged lands to reach the little island or ocean or mountain that has been preserved by the label sacred land?"
