How Secure is Your Food? food�se·cu·ri·ty:�the�state�of�having reliable�access�to�a�sufficient quantity�of�affordable,�nutritious food.
Food�security�has�declined�dramatically�in�many developing�countries.�The�majority�of�us�rely�on�our grocery�stores�to�provide�us�with�healthy,�affordable food. We�tend�to�forget�how�fragile�the�food�system�actually is.�We�are�dependent�on�a�system�that�is�vulnerable�to natural�disasters,�weather�and�road�conditions�across the�globe. If�your�town�was�suddenly�cut�off�from�the�outside world�for�3�days,�would�your�family�have�enough�food to�survive? �How�about�a�week?�One�month? The�importance�of�supporting�local�farmers,�learning to�grow�your�own�food�without�chemical�fertilizers and�having�the�skills�to�preserve�that�food�is�vital.�Visit pRRRdy.com�to�see�how�to�garden�naturally�and�learn how�to�grow�some�of�your�own�food.
With�each summer�drier�and�hotter than�the�last,�water�conservation�is becoming�the�norm�throughout�the PRRD. �In�the�last�3�years,�Dawson Creek�has�had�to�resort�to�level�4 water�conservation�measures�as�well�as increasing�the�price�of�water. While�watering�food�gardens�is still�permitted,�flowers�and�grass are�prohibited�from�watering�while under�restrictions.�Having�several�rain barrels�at�each�downspout�will�ensure harvested�rain�water�is�available�for your�garden�needs�throughout�the summer�months.

Get Growing!
Aside�from�the�sheer�joy�of�watching something�grow,�there�are�many reasons�to�plant�your�own�garden�this year:
• It�just�tastes�better!�There’s�no�comparison�between
• •
• • •
•
biting�into�a�freshly�picked�carrot�and�one�that�has been�transported�1000�miles�to�the�grocery�store. You�have�the�control�over�what�goes�into�or�onto your�plants�(think:�no�pesticides!). Reduce�stress.�There’s�something�primal�about digging�in�the�dirt�that�is�calming�to�the�soul.�There are�no�distractions�like�laptops,�computer�or�television to�overload�your�brain�with�endless�information.� All�that�digging,�turning�and�planting�are�great�forms of�low-impact,�strengthening�exercise. Lower�your�carbon�footprint�–�food�grown�at�home reduces�the�number�of�trips�to�the�grocery�store. By�preserving�your�own�home-grown�goods, you�ensure�food�security�for�you�and�your�family throughout�the�year. Being surrounded�by�green�space�lowers�blood pressure�and�improves�mood.
No�space�for�a�garden?�Try�Community Gardening.�Most�municipalities�in the�PRRD�have�community�gardens. • Affordable,�accessible�space: Most�community�garden�plots�are rented�out�for�a�very�reasonable price�- generally�just�enough�to cover�the�cost�of�land�taxes�and utilities. • New�relationships:�Community gardens�are�a�great�place�to�meet like-minded�people. • Extra�Knowledge:�Learn gardening�tips�from�others�and share�success�stories. • Support:�Helping�others�with tasks�such�as�rototilling�and planting�will�foster�a�sense�of partnership�and�goodwill. • Additional�fresh�produce:�You have�too�many�carrots�and your�fellow�gardeners�have an�overabundance�of�beets. Solution: make�a�trade�or�simply just�share�your�bounty!

Is Your Water on Drugs?
Since�the�late�1990’s,�scientists�have�been�concerned�about�the different�medications�showing�up�in�municipal�sewer�systems. As�sewage�waste�is�treated�then�returned�back�to�natural�waterways,�it�makes�sense�that�we’re�also seeing�low�levels�of�these�drugs�in�our�drinking�water.�Studies�done�on�aquatic�life�have�been�alarming; fish�with�BOTH�female�and�male�anatomy�are�believed�to�be�the�result�of�high�concentrations�of�the hormones�found�in�birth�control�pills. Much�of�this�contamination�is�unavoidable:�it’s�passed�into�our sewer�through�urine�and�feces.�Much of�it,�however,�is�there�because�people�are�unaware�that�flushing�drugs�is�harmful�to�our�water supplies. Drugs�and�medication�should�NEVER�be�flushed�or�thrown�in�the�garbage. Instead,�gather�up�all�unused�or�expired medication�and�bring�them�to�your�local pharmacy,�where�they�will�be�disposed properly.
