As the end of April is approaching, we want to give one last shoutout to those who contribute to raising environmental consciousness. Our planet Earth is one of only eight planets in the cosmic solar system and is the only known place in the universe able to support life1. It surely plays a critical role in our universe. Since 1977, Down to Earth has been talking about the environmental and health benefits of "going veggie”. This is simply one way that Down to Earth supports a wholesome lifestyle that gives back to our planet. It is backed by our pledge to provide local, fresh, organic, and natural produce, our sustainability in-stores, our educational materials on our website, our delicious vegetarian eats, and our mission and values. All of which collectively support the urge to Malama the Aina every day! It's more important than ever to help preserve our planet for future generations. 

Earth Month is upon us, and what better way to celebrate than by diving into the magic of gardening? Whether you’re planting your first seed or already have dirt under your nails, growing your own goodies or choosing organic is the way to go. And let’s not forget about the superhero move of composting those food scraps. Let’s break it down.
