Help Is On The Way



Maybe the saying is true that one man/woman can't make a difference, but what if millions of people could stand together to change the world? If you knew that you could help save a species that is responsbile for feeding 1 in 3 people and accounts for 50-80 percent of the global food supply would you do it? Perhaps it isn't a matter of whether or not you would, but how you would. Just recently I came across an organization that is truly making a difference in world of food consumption and sustainability. Food Tank sums up their mission like this: "The Food Tank Think Tank is for the 7 billion people who have to eat every day. We will offer solutions and environmentally sustainable ways of alleviating hunger, obesity, and poverty by creating a network of connections and information for all of us to consume and share". Sounds pretty great, and the information they are sharing is unbelievably valuable. The reason I was drawn to their website was because of the attention they are bringing to 13 organizations that are actively pursuing solutions to saving the honey bees.
