Remembering my Roots, entry #1 January 8th, 2010

This is my very first blog post, ever. So, I will start at the beginning (kind of) and go on from there. Where this will take me I do not know, but I love adventures. So, here I go.

I am working on a book "Remembering Our Roots" and the premise of this book is reducing, recycling, and reusing are really not a new idea. Our parents, grandparents, and even further back generations did conserve out of necessity and because their resources were so precious.

I envision my book to be a compilation of ideas using the wisdom from the past, our wisdom today, and what we will be able to do into the future to conserve our resources for future generations. This will be an adventure, because conservation does not have to be a burden, it can be exciting ( at least I think so) and fun to discover new ways of saving food, the environment, and our health.

With "Remembering Our Roots" I am looking for submissions of your own, a relative, or friend about how they conserve.....this book is focusing on food and ways we grow, buy, prepare, preserve, and store food. I am looking for recipes using local foods, urban farming, and more. As my blog continues you will get more examples and ideas of what I am looking to create this book.

So, that is the very beginning and onward from here. I am thrilled to be connecting with others and look forward to hearing from you.
