			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Like I mentioned <a href="http://ecotipsforlife.com/important-dates/earth-day-commerce/">before</a> Earth Day has become as much of a marketing tools as it is a cause.</p>
<p>SInce it&#8217;s inception however (checkout the first poster <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Kellyposter1970.jpg">here</a>) many good things have come from it and organisations like the Earth Day Network (<a href="http://earthday.org">earthday.org</a>) that grew out of that first Earth Day have done a lot of good things.</p>
<p>Even though April 22nd is the official Earth Day it is, in my opinion, important to look at the remaining 364 days of the year for actions that cause permanent change, which is evident by the year-round domestic and international programs being run by organizations like the Earth Day Network.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;ve been buying most of our veggies and eggs at a local farm for some time now and could not be happier with the quality and taste. Since they where doing one of their tours (which they do on Saturday and Sunday @ 1:30pm see <a href="http://www.kissimmeesgreenplacefororganicvegetables.com/">http://www.kissimmeesgreenplacefororganicvegetables.com/</a>) we decided to take part in the tour.</p>
<p>Not only did it give us a better understanding of why the quality is as it is, it also gave some more insight into how and why the company was founded.</p>
<p>I put together a small Flickr set containing some pictures of the place:<br />
