The Power of One

I think that too often we forget the power of one person.  What can I as one person do to effect change on the world around me?  I am just one person in a sea of millions.  Do my choices and actions really matter?  These are questions that I ask myself.  Can changing the way I treat the soil make a difference in my community for the good of others?  Is the health of our soil really important?  I believe that it is important not only for me but for all those that will live long after I die.

How do you create a healthy soil environment so you will never have to add calcium, lime, fertilizer, etc. to your garden or lawn again?  Is that even possible?  I spent 3 days this weekend learning about soil biology from Dr. Elaine Ingham at Rodale Institute.  I am so excited to be able to tell you that it not only is possible, it is being done by all who are willing to step off of the chemical merry-go-round.

We can change being dependent on chemicals to grow our foods and our lawns.  The tools and knowledge are available to make that change.  We have the power to make a change.

“One person can make a difference and every person should try.”
