Happy Earth Day April 22, 2013

Earth day April 22, 2013

Couldn’t have said it better than Ingrid Newkirk when she said, “If we are ever to halt climate change and conserve land, water and other resources, not to mention reduce animal suffering, we must celebrate Earth Day every day – at every meal.”

The significant of Earth day is not in the day itself but a reminder to us that every day is Earth Day and the day as part of our living habits – in our way of life.

BUY A CUP OF CAFFE SOSPESO (SUSPENDED COFFEE)

Do you have a suspended coffee?

Social media is truly wonderful; just caught a fabulous idea this morning which I really really love. Apparently, if you can’t afford to have a cup of coffee and you happen to be in Naples, Italy’s southern city, you could be blessed with one from good souls who have paid in advance for one or several coffees without drinking them. The extra coffee goes to the next customer who asks, ‘Do you have a suspended coffee?’ This caffe sospeso (suspended coffee) tradition originated from Naples, have since spread to more than 150 cafes across Bulgaria. I certainly hope that the love can spread further to other cafes and restaurants in the world. Read more

Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz. Read more
