How to Grab a Bite to Eat and Help the Planet

You CAN grab something to eat, enjoy every bite, AND help the planet! In fact, here are a few ways:

1. Try ‘green’ convenience foods.

Behold, convenience foods that are environmentally friendly, well priced and…yummy! Quick, stock up on pizza of all sorts, including PESTO, my favourite macaroni and cheese, chili, shepherd’s pie, and lots more.

One of the more frequently available brands of green frozen dinners is Amy’s Kitchen. Like several other labels which I’m dying to try, these meals are made from organic ingredients and come in recycled (and recyclable) packaging. Oh, and yes, they are completely vegetarian, but you honestly wouldn’t know it. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that you can be eating within 10-20 minutes for most of these meals, either. Amy’s has saved my butt many a dinner time, let me tell you!

Origins of Scouting

As a military officer, Baden-Powell was stationed in British India and Africa in the 1880s and 1890s. Since his youth, he had been fond of woodcraft and military scouting, and—as part of their training—showed his men how to survive in the wilderness. He noticed that it helped the soldiers to develop independence rather than just blindly follow officers’ orders.[1]

In South Africa during the Second Boer War, Baden-Powell was besieged in the small town of Mafeking by a much larger Boer army (the Siege of Mafeking).[2] The Mafeking Cadet Corps was a group of youths that supported the troops by carrying messages, which freed the men for military duties and kept the boys occupied during the long siege. The Cadet Corps performed well, helping in the defense of the town (1899–1900), and were one of the many factors that inspired Baden-Powell to form the Scouting movement.[3][4][5] Each member received a badge that illustrated a combined compass point and spearhead. The badge’s logo was similar to the fleur-de-lis that Scouting later adopted as its international symbol.[6]
