A day for lists, sketches, phone numbers, recipes, reminders, ideas, and the old power of writing something down.
The bell above the door rings while the street sleeps. You ask for the same thing you bought last Tuesday. There is comfort in being known by the person behind the counter.
Steam rises from a pot and escapes into the cold air. You recognize the dish before you even see the cooking pot. Smell travels further than any voice ever could.
A practical celebration of the list that saves the day, even when one item is remembered only after reaching the door.
A day for herbs, flowers, seedlings, balcony pots, and every bit of green people manage to keep alive.
You encounter Adelie penguins, leopard seals, and Weddell seals throughout the Antarctic continent. You find that research station inhabitants keep sled dogs, cats, and occasionally rabbits as companions. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
You sample Vanuatu cocoa and kava root, traditional Pacific products that embody Melanesian ceremony and sustainable island agriculture. You appreciate how these exports preserve Vanuatu's connection to ancestral practices and forest stewardship.
