This video is titled “Get Fresh with Sara Snow, Episode #11”. It is produced by Discovery Health. Sara Snow is a Natural Living Expert. This subject matter of this video was different yet very interesting. Sara is great in front of the camera and presents the material on going green in an easy to follow manner. At a total time of five minutes thirty-seven seconds, this video is highly recommended for everyone.
Sara begins by discussing maintenance of the perfect lawn. She says that it is extremely wasteful, harmful to the environment, and stressful. According to Sara, one lawn uses ten times as many chemicals per acre as industrial farmland. Basically, maintaining a vanity yard is destructive. You should consider growing a garden instead of grass in your yard.
Sara presents the Dervaes family in the video. This family turned a yard that was gray and hard to crumbly, black, and rich earth. They now supply themselves and local restaurants with many vegetables grown in their garden. They feed themselves and make a second income off of it. In addition, son Justin Dervaes takes vegetable oil and turns it into bio diesel fuel. Daughter Anais Dervaes creates vegetarian meals in an outdoor clay oven. Other daughter Jordanne takes care of the families animals. By being so conscientious, this family has fresh, seasonal, and local food. They also reduce their consumption of packaging, fuel, and packaged foods.
Most people do not desire to go to the extreme of the Dervaes family. However, there are smaller things that everyone can do. You can plant a garden. You can opt for ground cover over turf grass (try planting clover, ivy, or herbs). You can also go native by planting local wildflowers or native grasses.
This topic is enlightening. This family deserves a lot of respect. You most definitely should take the time to view this video. You won’t regret it.
