Thanks for writing. What we’ve seen in the US is that consumer demand can really change the marketplace. I hope that will be true in Australia as well.

Hi Diane
Thank you very much for taking the time to write this thoughtful post of flowers, with a green edge to it.
I own a florist in Australia and only with that someday Australia could be as forward thinking as teh U.S is in terms of organically grown flowers.

I like your idea of foraging, which is an ideal solution when you have access to a rural setting.

I love this book! I only wish it was written to make me feel included a bit more because I am a Canadian. Your book is written to Americans (or so it feels). I would have liked to see more Canadian Statistics included and Canadian Companies mentioned and maybe even other countries. Other than that~ What a fabulous wealth of information for those that feel they want to help our world but don’t know where to start. It makes sense that if we all work together we can make changes!!! Thanks for opening my eyes to this fact.
You should write one for teenagers and one for young kids because I think our younger generations are feeling hopeless with all the negative stuff they hear about the world. They need to be inspired as well by someone who can write like you do. It is a book I will keep at my finger tips for constant reference as I change my way of thinking and living!!!

An alternative gift that I really like is planting trees on behalf of your loved one. You can do this with a lot of nonprofits, but my favorite is American Forests, which has ecosystem restoration projects around the world. Chocolates are nice and all, but these trees are a lasting gift, and benefit so much more than just me or you. You can go to http://www.americanforests.org and plant trees in honor of just about anyone. And its only $1 per tree, so its quite affordable.
