Money_with_no_strings_attached. It's
not something you see every day. But at Union
Station in
Los Angeles last month, a
board went up with dollar bills attached to it
with pins and a sign that read,
“Give
What You Can, Take What You Need.”
People quickly caught on. And while
many took dollars, many others pinned their own
cash to
the board.
“
People of all ages, races,
and socio
－
economic
(
社会经济的
) backgrounds gave and
took,
”
said Tyler
Bridges of The Toolbox, which created the project.
“We even had a bride in her
wedding dress come up to the board and
take a few dollars.”
Most of the bills
on the board were
singles, but a few
people left fives, tens and even twenties. The
video clip (
片段
) shows one
man
who had found a $$ 20 bill pinning
it to the board.
“
What I can
say for the folks that gave the most, is that they
were full of smiles
，”
Bridges
said.
“There's a
certain feeling that giving can do for you and
that was apparent in those that gave the
most.”
Most people who took
dollars took only a few, but Bridges said a very
small number took as
much as they
could.
While the clip might look like
part of a new ad campaign, Bridges said the only
goal was to
show
generosity
and
sympathy.
He
added
that
he
hopes
people
in
other
cities
might
try
similar
projects and post their own videos on
the Internet.
“
After all,
everyone has bad days and good
days
，”
he said.
“Some days you need a helping
hand and some days you can be the one
giving the helping hand.”

universally passed it,
he tried to put
it in his mouth, he tried bouncing it, rolling it,
sitting on it, throwing was totally,
completely enough for I knew it an

scientists like Stein to make the case that their
products
are not as bad for the planet
as most people assume.
Among the bag
makers' argument: many cities with bans still
allow shoppers to purchase paper
bags,
which are easily recycled but require more energy
to produce and while plastic
bags may
be ugly to look at, they represent a small
percentage of all garbage on the ground today.
The industry has also taken aim at the

What Theresa Loe is doing proves that a
large farm isn't a prerequisite for a modern grow<
/p>
－
your
－
o
wn lifestyle. On a mere 1/10 of an acre in Los
Angeles, Loe and her family grow, can
(
装罐
)
and preserve
much of the food they consume.
Loe is a
master food preserver, gardener and canning
expert. She also operates a website, where
she shares her tips and recipes, with
the goal of demonstrating that everyone has the
ability to control
what's on their
plate.
Loe initially went to school to
become an engineer, but she quickly learned that
her enthusiasm
was
mainly
about
growing
and
preparing
her
own
food.
“
Got
into
cooking
my
own
food
and
started growing my own
herbs(
香草
)and foods for that
fresh flavor
，”
she said.
Engineer by day,
Loe
learned
cooking
at
night
school.
She
ultimately
purchased
a
small
piece
of
land
with
her
husband and began
growing their own foods.
“
I
teach people how to live
farm
－
fresh without a
farm
，
”
Loe said.
Through her website Loe
emphasizes that
“anybody can do this
anywhere.”
Got an apartment with a
balcony (
阳台
)? Plant
some herbs. A window perfect spot for
growing. Start with herbs, she recommends, because
“they're
very
forgiving.”
Just a little of the herbs
“
can take your regular
cooking to a whole new
level
，”
she
added.
“I think it's a great place to
start.”
“
Then try
growing something from a
seed
，
”
she said,
“like a tomato or some tea.”
Canning is a natural extension of the
planting she does. With every planted food, Loe
noted,
there's a moment when it's
bursting with its absolute peak flavor.
“
I try to keep it in a time
capsule
in a canning
jar
，
”
Loe said.
“Canning for me is about knowing what's
in your food, knowing where
it comes
from.”
In addition to being
more in touch with the food she's eating, another
joy comes from passing
this knowledge
and this desire for good food to her children:
“
Influencing them and
telling them
your opinion on not only
being careful what we eat but understanding
the_bigger_picture
，”
she
said,
“that if we don't take
care of the earth, no one will.”

“prerequisite”

in meaning to
“
