"SaveGaia: Cultivation of Moringa – I used these growing directions
and they worked well" which refers to the best page on the subject:
http://savegaia.blogspot.com/2005/05/growing-moringa-part-ii.html also found here:

A search on Google for: “ savegaia moringa ” (without the “”)
will yield links to more material. In a nutshell, Moringa is
a revolution in the making!

Moringa leaves compared to common foods - Values per 100gm portion:
Nutrient Moringa Leaves Other Foods
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Vitamin A 6780 mcg Carrots: 1890 mcg
Vitamin C 220 mg Oranges: 30 mg
Calcium 440 mg Cow's milk: 120 mg
Potassium 259 mg Bananas: 88 mg
Protein 6.7 gm Cow's milk: 3.2 gm

And actually, when it comes to the Moringa, which is a native
Philipino tree, Dr Green, who will teach you at the Compton class
and event, gets extensively quoted by no less than the Philipino
Government, as you can see here (So be assured you will be
in good hands!):

Soon in July, we should have classes, either in Mission Hills
or Alhambra, or at one of the new locations. To be announced!

Get Triple the Tax Deduction for Your Car Donation

For its Organic Victory Gardening Division, Earth Day Los Angeles, a 501(c)3 public charity, organizer of Earthday events and the Venice Beach Ecofest, is seeking donation of the following: A truck (or van), an RV or two (as big as possible – to house short term residential volunteers) and a (preferably small) car in good running condition (or needing only minor repairs to get running). The deduction is likely to be 2-3 times larger than if you donated your vehicle to any other charity. Plus you can feel good knowing that you are are helping save the environment and advance the knowledge of Organic Gardening as a viable option for everyone.

Please forward this to anyone you know who might have a vehicle to donate.

Unlike other vehicle donations, where your tax deduction is limited to only the as-is sale wholesale price of the vehicle, Earth Day LA can give you a tax deduction up to the full blue-book value! The reason for this is that Earth Day LA will actually directly use the vehicle in its charitable environmental and educational work. And your donation will completely and directly benefit Earth Day and its staff, no middleman cut will be involved.

Please support our environmental and educational work! Reply by email or call us at (765) 381-2350 if you or a friend has an old car, truck, camper, mobile home or any other vehicle they are not using.
Or if your vehicle is NOT running, or is in need of costly repairs (call us to find out how much is too "costly"), please donate it to Charity Cars by filling in the on-line form: http://www.1-877-charity.org/form/Donate-A-Car.htm They will pick up your vehicle with a tow truck and give you a receipt. Your tax deduction will be determined by their actual sale amount, less the tow charge. (Please specify Earth Day LA as your charity of choice.)

Donation of your vehicle to Earth Day L.A. provides the following additional benefits:
- No need for a smog check
- No hassles negotiating with buyers
- No delay while a buyer checks it out
- Quick pickup of any running vehicle
- On the spot documentation of your donation, including IRS form
- Potential tax deduction value much greater than cash from a buyer

Earth Day L.A. is a 501(c)3 charity (IRS ID 33-0767921), which has organized Earth Day and other environmental events since 1999. See EarthDay LA's website for an overview on Earth Day L.A. and http://victorygardens2.blogspot.com/2009/01/victory-gardens-20-faq.html for an overview of (Organic) Victory Gardening.
