I was telling Phil after we left your house that it was such a nice party with friends, family, and the shade tree. It would/could take several years to develop such great friends and a shade tree starting from scratch. That was a big reason I relented and said we could stay in the South Bay instead of moving to PAS when we looked for a house - we do have a nice network here. So since I read this initially, I have come up with several ideas for your "all politics is local" endeavor. First, what about a "Day (week?) Without Bottled Water"? How about joining the local LLL and teaming up with WIC or early childhood education classes to promote BFing? Promote children's gardening programs? Is this enough? Should I stop? :) Hurry up and plant your peach tree! My dad has had his for years but the organic peach growing is enough to make him lose the rest of his hair. Each season I worry that I may find him in the backyard with a shotgun picking off the squirrels and birds who peck at the fruit before dropping it to the ground. I meant to comment sooner.
