Many sustainability movements tend to marginalize efforts by the global community and try to get people to focus on local growing action. We believe you can do and support both. Tea and other things we cannot grow in the USA becomes an exception to many of the rules that various communities force upon people in their area. We ask for your grace, and help to get our niche up and running in Arizona. Being gourmet, you might be more understanding.... When looking at the many groups in this community, we thought it would be best to start with you.
Tea is a great way to connect people and something healthy to share, and some teas you can grow locally.
We feel that sustainability movements should work more interdependently and we also feel its better to serve tea at gatherings than soda pop and energy drinks that destroy the rain forests. Why promote sustainability and gardening only to contribute to bad health and rain forest destruction?
In fact, by sourcing tea from sustainable living projects, we can make a big difference in the rain forests...... Can you imagine if 5000 small yoga studios and offices served loose tea that protected life and rain forests rather than generic default to whatever the stores offer?
We need to get to know our farmers from here to Sri Lanka.
Lets have tea and discuss the big issues and solutions.
Thanks
Kabir
