Cowardice asks the question
- is it safe?
Expediency asks the question
- is it politic?
Vanity asks the question
- is it popular?
But conscience asks the question
- is it right?
And there comes a time
when one must take a position
that is neither safe,
nor politic, nor popular;
but one must take it because
it is right.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
5 MORE Ways to Create a Sustainable New Year
1 Order seeds and plants EARLY. Most places are first order, first served. So don't wait!
2 Design your garden.
Plant as many perennial varieties you have space for. These, after established, provide the most food for the least amount of human energy maintenance.
3 Prepare your garden by amending a spot in your yard. Add manure, compost, or garden soil, and then mulch heavily with straw or leaves or even a tarp.
4 Start a compost pile and add your kitchen scraps every day.
