Happy Earth Day! My husband and I disagree on this day, I believe as Christians we should above all people be taking care of God's earth so anything that helps us remember that is a good thing.
What can I say... I am a Crunchy Con (remember the book, I loved it!).
Now for the pantry... for my family, the most important part of keeping a good pantry is having a list of necessities. We can't afford food that sits there unopened for years (although having said that... I do sometimes have something new to try which may sit awhile).
So, I thought today it might be good to give you links to some excellent pantry lists and articles about the pantry. A few are new, and a few are "oldies but goodies" from my sidebar.
May these inspire your list!

I think this list will keep you busy for awhile. For further info, I do have my Deepening the Pantry list of links on the sidebar. There are a lot of other good places for information to visit in those links.
I need to spend a week or so updating all my links (I know there are a couple dead links there). But that will have to wait until... oh... perhaps the heat of July and August? ;)

God commanded us through Adam and Eve to be good stewards of the earth Genesis1:28 "...fill the earth and subdue... have dominion..." If a day like Earth day is celebrated(esp. by a christian) it should be done in honor of the Creator and to remember His command.
Your husband must be wary of the New Age practices behind this observance for many. I agree with him but I also agree with you.
