Easy Action: Farmer's market is your friend Find out where the nearest Farmer's Market is, and start buying your next week's vegetables there. Buying local produce helps the local economy, which is all that will really matter in any collapse scenario. Further, the energy cost of local produce is nearly always dramatically less than shipping produce from Argentina, New Zealand, or Paraguay. Medium Action: Suburban sanity Stop using any lawn chemicals, weed control chemicals, pesticides, or other toxins. All of these chemicals are exclusively designed for making our excess land look purty. No weeds, no diversity in our lawn, no life but what we allow. Does that make sense? Serious Action: Planting for the future Commit to one weekend a month, planting tree seedlings where locally needed, or casting nitrogen-fixing clover or alfalfa seed, or pollinator-enhancing wildflowers, onto otherwise unhealthy land. We have stripped the biodiversity of much of our viable, arable land, starving the pollinators and other insects (and topsoil) of that diversity. Any help we can give will be a balm to nature. Systems Development: Pump my ride Transportation is a giant impact vector. Why don't we have Web systems in place to help you easily *fill* your car with passengers as you commute, via an online tool that makes it painless to plan a "commute with strangers"? |
Balms for the Spirit: Music: Van Morrison: Moondance a joyous, engaging flight of pleasure in the living of life. Poem: Commerce as a vehicle From factory-farmed chicken to old-growth lumber to gas-guzzling cars, many of the things we buy support destructive industries. But businesses, governments, and concerned citizens can harness this same purchasing power to build markets for less-hazardous products, including fair-traded foods, green power, and fuel-cell vehicles. -- Worldwatch Institute "State of the World 2004" report Sites: Addressing the Great Pacific Garbage Patch: Algalita.org The Algalita Marine Research Foundation is dedicated to the protection of the marine environment and its watersheds through research, education, and restoration. |
