Just say NO

Just say NO to using Round Up. 

Don't use it at your home, talk about not using it with your friends, co workers, relatives, neighbors.  Anyone who will listen to you.  It's just bad stuff.

I've been doing a lot of reading, books and on the internet and I just can't believe how we've all been blinded by the fact that it will "kill" all of our weeds and our yards and gardens will look great!

At what expense?  Our health and the health of the world we live in.

I'm sorry if this seems like such an "off" post for me.  I'm usually not so dramatic or passionate to others about the things I believe.  But the more I read about Round Up and what it has done to our world, it's upsetting.

Please take the time to enjoy your yard and garden.  Get out there and weed by hand.  It's not so bad, and the exercise is GOOD for you.  Encourage other's to weed with you, spend time in the garden enjoying what you are doing and who you are with.  It creates the things that become the memories in years to come.  Plus, it fosters a sense of connectedness with the soil and the earth and growing the food you are eating.

Besides, the weeds were here first, and I have a feeling, they'll be here long after we are gone.
