"The Ecology of Care" by Didi Pershouse
“The Ecology of Care” by Didi Pershouse (The Minnesota Star Tribune)

Didi Pershouse's "Ecology of Care:  Medicine, Agriculture, Money and the Quiet Power of Human and Microbial Communities" goes from local acupuncture to national soil care. Lots of neighborly, worldly actions — so hopeful! We know we need to change. These examples of considerate holistic situations point the way.
