The focus of our planetary attention in the new millennium has got to be kept trained fully on our ever changing environment. Despite our best efforts humans have contaminated large sections of our planet and continue to waste precious resources. Many people are now working together to create innovative ways to renew or reuse our resources and stop them from being callously wasted. By focusing on conservation and recycling and by taking advantage of easy to use tools like the garden shredder, we can make a difference.

Growing your own garden is one such way to fight for our environment and way of life. Paying careful attention to the old adage of 揥aste not, want not? you can literally utilize all parts of your garden to nourish you and then use the leftovers to renew the earth. Utilizing a garden shredder makes the latter a simple task to turn your unwanted scraps into much needed fertilizer. Plus you get to eat your vegetables out of the good earth instead of a questionable plastic package.

Consider your last trip to the grocer. Was it pleasant? Did you enjoy shopping for your family and picking out each item with love and tenderness? Hardly! It is with dismay and almost visible winces of pain one sees in the eyes of the people that bravely face the event of going to the supermarket for food. By contrast I ask you to think about the last time you were working in your garden. Do you recall the way the earth feels between your fingers as you dig around in it loosening it up to plant your seed or seedling? Do you recall the gleam in your eye as you gather up your garden machinery and prepare to take on nature?

The feel of the warm sun on your face while you are picking blueberries fresh off the vine, eating more than you are putting in your bucket? If this is an experience you have never had then you simply must experience it to understand that feeling of contentment and peace that comes from collecting your food from the earth as nature intended, instead of scurrying through the aisles of a super market wondering exactly what soy lichen really is for pity抯 sakes! There really is no contest, growing your own food makes it satisfying in an almost primal way. So fire up your garden shredder and get to mulching!
