Americans (including the Obamas) are breaking ground and growing vegetable gardens right at home in record numbers this spring. To get started, you can get tomato seeds from a program called Help Grow Your Soup. For the first time in its more-than-100-year history, Campbell Soup Co. is making available to the American public its specially cultivated seeds used to grow tomatoes for its iconic Campbell's tomato soup. Best of all, the effort is part of Campbell's goal to grow more than one billion tomatoes across the country and to support American agriculture. Learn more at helpgrowyoursoup.com.

Today's the day to go the extra distance: Bike to work, make a generous donation to an environmental charity, plant a tree with the family, start a vegetarian diet, or any other major green commitment you've been thinking of doing. Give it a try and join millions of others celebrating this wonderful planet. Start a blog and write about making a big green change so you can inspire others and they can start a dialogue, too.
