Plants the Seed

What if people are interested in sustainable living but didn't have the time to research what that would even mean to them? What if they found out it was easy? and fun? Thats what I am going to try and do. Simple steps, having fun, gaining community. My name is Kimiko, I graduated UVic with a degree in Anthropology and Environmental studies, which means I love people and I love the environment. ONE big thing I learned from my degree is, the worlds problems can be a bit too much at times. "Does my action/inaction really make a difference?" BUT the next thing I learned was that those little actions actually do make a difference.. to you. The more I did, the better I felt, the healthier I became, and nobody got hurt. SO, lets use the stairs, turn off the lights, walk, meet people at the local market, and make some freaking crafts. my motto- Never compromise the environment for your convenience- :: All images are taken from the internet and I do not claim them as my own.

Tomatoes!

Did You Know.... TOMATOES should be stored at ROOM TEMPERATURE for maximum ripeness and juiciness! The chilled temperatures of the fridge prevents the tomatoes from ripening properly resulting in a less tasty, mealy tomato Once they are ripe and/or cut you can place them in the fridge to extend the shelf life http://www.stilltasty.com/articles/view/61
