Also, when you have more time, the appeal of things like growing a few organic veg, rather than taking the pre-packed options at the supermarket, can become quite irresistible! Then of course, you discover the joys of seasonality, eating things in their prime, which can move you onto reassessing your whole shopping regime, pulling away from ‘boxed’ food and cooking more from fresh. One thing seems to lead quite naturally onto another and you realise that the changes that benefit our own health and well-being are also fantastically positive for our environment.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.organicfoodee.com/inspiration/downshifting.html">There is no simple solution to achieving downshifting success. All changes need 
to be thought out and it takes time, effort and commitment to enforce positive 
changes that will benefit individuals and the environment</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/BC839C0D-A3B8-4449-BDA3-42F8031676E6/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
