What do you think Wayne, are these the things we really need to do?

Christian, in some ways I think that this is wishful thinking on a more broad scale, but at least someone is thinking in a positive direction. Of course, we all need to work locally and educate folks on the right thing to do. By gardening at the back and front doors, we eliminate all the supply line needs and overuse of fossil fuels, we eat the freshest food available and we work with the natural forces that surround us. By paying attention to scale and learning the intracacies of natural building and utilizing the “waste stream” we also move in ecologically sound directions. What about energy? What about community? What about, well, you know, and we all know what we need to do. If the press needs to report all the “green” that is out there and quite popular at this time in our quasi-culture’s history I am all for it. It will continue to build into the people’s hearts and minds, and possibly help us out of this morass.
