Our planet Earth, with its vast history of 4.543 billion years, is a testament to the resilience of life. Yet, Earth Day, is a tradition that is only 54 years young! which serves as a reminder of our responsibility towards this ancient world.
Let’s both honor our planet and acknowledge its challenges this Earth Day. Earth Day was initiated on April 22, 1970, to bring attention to the escalating environmental issues that our world is grappling with.
As we pause to appreciate the natural splendor around us and switch off our lights for a day, what will be your Earth Day commitment? What goal will you set to aid in reducing pollution and environmental harm?
Just like we make resolutions for the New Year, let's make a resolution for Earth Day. So what’s your vow to lessen your footprint on this planet? Please share your thoughts, ideas, and tips. Let’s see if we can collaborate to safeguard our world, which has been around for billions of years and deserves our utmost respect and care.

I can not find the words to express my sorrow for the who were killed whilst helping others. For those of you who don't know who World Central Kitchen is this is who they are:

People who are not confined to the well-trodden paths; they venture into the heart of disaster zones, world wide , places that others may hesitate to tread. Their commitment shines brightest in areas like Gaza, where, even when other agencies withdrew, they persevered, finding innovative ways to deliver food to the hungry, to sustain life amidst desolation.

Their actions are not about heroism or recognition; they are about humanity. It’s the silent resolve to do what is best, to feed, to care, and to nurture, even when the world isn’t watching. Words may fail to capture the depth of their impact, but their legacy is written in the countless lives they’ve touched.

Today, I visited my friend who has a woodland where truffles grow. She is a private person who loves nature. We were looking forward to finding some truffles for our breakfast eggs, but we were disappointed by professional truffle thieves. They had trespassed on her land and dug up over three kilos of truffles, leaving behind gloves and holes. They did not respect the private property signs or the fencing, nor did they care about the ecosystem and wildlife that depend on the truffles. They acted out of greed and vandalism, and gave us foragers a bad name. I found it very upsetting. If you are a forager, always ask for permission.

"Did you know that venison is increasingly regarded as a healthy, sustainable and readily available alternative to other types of red meat? Deer are the most amazing sustainable food asset in Britain. The Countryside Alliance has welcomed a new Government-backed scheme to boost consumers’ confidence in the venison market and support the sustainable management of wild deer in the countryside. Forest to Fork is a family-run business based on the Black Isle in the Highlands of Scotland. They provide a professional deer management service and run a small larder for processing their venison. This enables them to ensure total traceability.
