I have a plum tree, therefore, I have plums. what can I do with them? If I make a plum pie (do plums work in pies?) do I have to peel them first?

I have about 30 pounds of plums (after giving tons away to friends and enemies alike). What now?

Environmentally sensitive people understand the pressure of burgeoning human population on scarce resources. Water shortages are already a reality that affect billions of people, and the need for more farmland and wood conspire to destroy habitats that are not merely exciting and unique, but that might hold answers to questions we are only beginning to ask.

It seems that environmentally sensitive people should take the lead and have smaller families--or no families at all. If 'we' do not start the process, who will?

But then again, such a strategy will reduce the most direct impact environmentally sensitive people can have on the next generation--their own children. Perhaps the most effective strategy for populating the world with more environmentally sensitive people would be for 'us' to have more children. Otherwise, the world might be overrun by 'them.'

What's a sensitive person to do?

Should I pick all but one flower off a squash plant, so that the one remaining will grow bigger-faster-better?
