Timothy's Blog

Welcome to my blog.

My intention is to present helpful information around a variety of topics from Green Living, Cooking, Organic Food, Sustainable Agriculture, along with the policy and politics that these categories tend to swim. You'll even find a few postings that touch upon some of life's philosophical quesitons. Feel free to suggest topics or add comments (I take offense to nothing). As always I'm open to ideas. Enjoy.

Note: If you would like to be alerted whenever a new entry is posted to my blog, subscribe to our RSS feed. You'll need an RSS feed reader or an RSS-friendly browser or email program. If you don't have any of those, you can get one here.

100-Mile Cultural Diet

The goal of the diet is to eat foods produced within 100 miles of your home.

Thinking about this always makes me wonder, "If it works for food, why not culture?"

4 January 2009

As we move through life, many of us touch other people in little ways that, unknown to us, have a truly profound impact on their lives. It can go both ways in terms of positive or negative impact, but the point is they are little gestures that are often insignificant and soon forgotten by the provider, but can be turning points in the lives of the recipient.
