Have a Better Life

Finally the day arrived. Today I’m going to attend the meeting about composting and I’m going to receive a composter to put in my backyard.

My son (10 years) also got very interested in attending this meeting and I’m very happy that he is interested in protecting the environment and in helping us recycle. Even better, we, the family, decided to go to the meeting. I think it is important for my daughter (5 years) and my husband to attend so we are all going.

I called the meeting organizer and asked if it was possible to take kids for the meeting and she was so happy that my kids were interested in recycling, helping the environment and attending the meeting.

So today, later in the day here we go to a nearby village (30 minutes drive) to attend the composting meeting. We expect to leave the meeting with a lot of ideas to help the environment, composting guide tips and a composter.

Composting is not a make money thing, it won’t help me to pay for Vegas vacations or Caribbean vacations but I feel that by composting I am contributing to a better planet and that’s is a good payment.

This year I decided to grow vegetables and fruits in my garden. Although I don’t have much free time it’s a pleasure to take care of the garden and see the “fruits” of our work. I’m growing an organic garden therefore I’m not using chemicals.

Why should we indulge in organic gardening?

1. Reduce the use of chemical: Although this time I bought compost because I was not composting at the time of the planting, next Friday I will have my own composter. Of course it is quicker to buy chemicals but the use of compost is beneficial for us and the environment.
2. Eat healthier: By eating our own vegetables and fruits, we know we are eating healthy and free of pesticides products.
3. Better soil: the use of compost and the no use of chemicals protects the soil and makes it healthier and improves the ecosystem.
4. Relax: for those enjoying the gardening art like I do, have pleasure in growing their own organic garden, therefore they relax and enjoy spending time garden.
5. Organic gardening practices help to keep the environment safe for future generations. Having two kids of my own I’m really worried about their future. It’s a shame some people don’t think like I do.
