Ok. At least every week I am going to post something that everyone can do that will help change the world like the just 1 click project for the people in Darfur. Hopefully, many people wil do this because then it will have a bigger effect.

Here's another way to help this summer. Set up an Etra Row program in your community. In the extra row program, you encourage members of your community to add just one extra row of planting to their summer vegetable gardens; and to donate their excess frsh produce yielded by this row to your town's food bank. set up a collection day/area (at local supermarket, farmer's market, etc) with whoever is in charge of your town's food bank. Spread the message to get fresh produce to the people in need in your community.
Be the change you want to see in the world. gandhi.
