Nona Wants to Make it The Green House
Rating ** 
In my travels on the Internet Highway, looking for ways to make a difference in the world that our grandchildren will inherit, I came across this delightful idea. See if you think it's as interesting as I do.
An organic garden on the White House lawn would send the powerful message to the American people and to the rest of the world, that the president is invested in the future. It would promote local, organic gardening. Eating locally produced, organic food, goes a long way toward erasing some of our footprint. Fossil fuels are saved by not using chemical fertilizer, and by eliminating the gasoline necessary to transport produce a long way. Eating healthy, organic, whole foods makes for a healthier populace, which could cut down on the increasing need for pharmaceuticals, that eventually contaminate our ground water. When people are close to their food source, they tend to appreciate mother earth to a greater extent and they tend to become more aware of the need for stewardship. That's worth three smiling grandchildren!

I like this idea. I'm all for healthy food and being good stewards of the land so that our grandchildren have a clean, healthy place to raise their children.

It used to be that grandparents thought about money as what they left behind for their grandchildren but now many of us have begun to realize that there is a more important legacy...that of leaving a healthy environment. Thanks so much for your comment and for validating my own concern!

Hullo Nona Nita. Like your baby-smile rating system. Now we're waiting for the big revamp you promised a while back...
Anyway, You've Been Tagged. Swing by our blog (well, maybe in an hour or so, when the post goes up) and see. And keep the ball rolling if it so pleases you.

Dear Nona Nita,
I love your UTube video.
You are such a clever grandmother! What a wonderful way to teach history and raise organic food.
I enjoy raising vegetables and flowers. It's fun for my grandchildren too.
Grandma Jean
PS I'm glad I found you.

Hello Nita--not sure whether the last one went through. In reference to a great comment you left once on my blog, I have a question to ask--could you email me privately at the email address above? Thanks very much! Gina
