“As You Like It”

From Bulbs to BloomsA cheerful sign of spring, the tulip

has been dazzling humans forthousands of years. Native to centralAsia, the flower gained popularitythroughout the Ottoman Empire andwas cultivated as early as A.D. 1000.

The word “tulip” comes from aPersian word meaning “turban.”Sultans would wear the flower on theirturbans as a symbol of life.

Although tulips are oftenassociated with the Netherlands, theydidn’t reach that country until 1593,when botanist Carolus Clusius plantedcultivated bulbs in Leiden University’s

garden. Tulips became hugelypopular, and the Netherlandsexperienced a “tulip mania” in the1630s. The price of tulip bulbs soaredso high, some varieties cost as muchas a house.

Today, most of the world’s tulipsare cultivated in and exported from theNetherlands. Visitors flock to thecountry every spring to see themillions of tulips in bloom. Tulipfestivals—both in the Netherlands andother countries, including the UnitedStates—are popular tourist attractions.

Tulip bulbs are planted inmid-autumn and need cold weatherduring their dormant stage to growproperly. They bloom from mid-Aprilthrough May.

There are more than 3,000cultivated varieties of tulips. Somevarieties have unusual colors orpatterns that are caused by mutationsor viruses.

Whole-Grain HappinessWe know whole grains are better

for our health than refined products,but it can be hard to make bigchanges in what we eat. Follow thesetips, and you’ll be consuming morewhole grains in no time:

Read the label. Labels canbe misleading: “Multi-grain” or“100 percent wheat” does not meanwhole-grain. Check the ingredient listand choose items that have the firstingredient listed as: buckwheat,bulgur, millet, oatmeal, quinoa, rolledoats, whole-grain barley, whole-graincorn, whole-grain sorghum,whole-grain triticale, whole oats,whole rye, whole wheat, brown

rice or wild rice.Bake it better. Completely

replacing white flour with whole-wheatflour in your favorite recipes canproduce mixed results. Instead, tryreplacing 50 percent of the whiteflour with whole-wheat flour. Youcan also find many recipes thatwere developed specifically forwhole-grain flours.

Make the switch. Many of the foodsyou already eat have whole-graincounterparts. For breakfast, trywhole-grain pancakes or bagels. Forlunch, choose sandwiches onwhole-grain bread. For dinner, lookinto quinoa, brown or wild rice, orwhole-wheat pasta. For snacking, pickwhole-grain crackers, chipsor pretzels.

Flex your flax. One easy way tosneak whole grains into your diet is toadd ground flax seed to foods such assmoothies, cookies and oatmeal.

Advocating for the EarthEarth Day debuted on April 22,

1970. The event was the brainchild ofU.S. Sen. Gaylord Nelson ofWisconsin, who announced to themedia the idea for a “national teach-inon the environment.”

Nelson wanted Earth Day activitiesto be created by people and groups intheir own communities, not by nationalorganizers. People responded. About20 million Americans gathered atvarious venues to advocate for ahealthy, sustainable environment.According to EarthDay.org, “Groupsthat had been fighting against oilspills, polluting factories and powerplants, raw sewage, toxic dumps,pesticides, freeways, the loss ofwilderness, and the extinction ofwildlife suddenly realized they sharedcommon values.”

The event drew extensive mediaattention and led to the creation of theEnvironmental Protection Agency andpassage of the Clean Air, Clean Waterand Endangered Species acts.

In the years that followed, April 22continued to be celebrated as EarthDay in various forms. On the 20thanniversary in 1990, Earth Day wascelebrated worldwide and focused onrecycling efforts. The 2000 Earth Daycampaign saw a push for cleanenergy. In 2010, the campaign “ABillion Acts of Green” was announced,encouraging environmentalcommitments from individuals,businesses, governments andcivic organizations.
