This Valentine’s day protect your family and loved ones by taking action to regulate pesticides on flowers.

Unlike food, flowers are not regulated for pesticide residues. There is no legal limit on the amount of pesticides that can remain on a bouquet, and it is common to find banned chemicals on flowers.

TAKE ACTION: Tell Congress to Start Regulating the “Toxic Bomb” of Pesticides on Flowers! https://orgcns.org/4rn62e8

Organic Regenerative Agriculture is both beautiful and critically important in the biosequestration of carbon!

This is what regenerative farming can look like. This is a picture of the Eden Project in Cornwall, England. Unlike conventional monoculture planting, this polyculture system diversifies the soil life, making plants less susceptible to pests and disease. (Photo by Franie Treetops @ Flickr).

Regenerative farming applies the Buddhist wisdom of pratītyasamutpāda (dependent origination) and inter-being to agriculture. One could also describe this as aligning with the ecological wisdom of Nature, what some African cultures call "ubuntu" - the Indigenous wisdom that all LIFE is interdependently related as a whole, and thrives best as One family -🙏💕
