Every day is Earth Day. A generation ago when Earth Day was just starting out, it was an important means of taking an annual assessment of our progress on environmental issues, and there has been much progress but also many failures. At this time, Earth Day seems little more than a corporate-sponsored picture of what is wrong with our society, rather than a call to action to enact change. Let's face it, we are faced with the greatest ecological crisis in human history and may be causing the most massive wave of extinctions in the 4 billion year history of earth. This requires a daily commitment from all of us to do better ourselves, and push those around us to do better. Going to Earth Day events and concerts with their corporate sponsorships and mountains of garbage (compostable or not, disposables are a huge waste of energy) may help you feel for a day like we're getting somewhere but without daily engagement we are doomed to fail. So, at Big Jones we will continue to work every day at being better stewards. On Earth Day we will show our commitment by working as hard as we do every other day to bring people food that is produced and prepared with careful regard for the consequences of each action taken, from the seed to the field to your table.
