For what else then spreading the free word, information and communication is one of the biggest purpose of a blog. Therefor dearest people i would like to bring the folling story under your attention; http://www.FreeEzra.org. If this realy would make a difference i don’t know but i believe it’s worth trying anyhow. At least through this message we leave the great man a note; ‘you are not alone‘.
Kasteel Nieuwenhoven – magical place in Belgium.
By · Comments
A group of historic buildings continuously occupied since the 7th century, surrounded by woodland, lakes and farmland are the site for a new eco-vilage project. Restoring the largely neglected land and buildings have been a high priority for the first two years of the project. As this work continues other activities are gaining momentum – permaculture vegetable gardens and food forests, hosting visitors, organising events, conservation and sustainable management plans for the wilder parts of the property and much more. All this is happening through the work of a small (less than 10) group of residents with the help of friends and volunteers. There is so much to do and much space for creativity and fun.
Spring 2009: Food for Everyone
By · CommentsToday I came across this article and felt inspired by it and thought it was so brilliant I had to share.
A city in Brazil recruited local farmers to help do something U.S. cities have yet to do: end hunger.
In writing Diet for a Small Planet, I learned one simple truth: Hunger is not caused by a scarcity of food but a scarcity of democracy. But that realization was only the beginning, for then I had to ask: What does a democracy look like that enables citizens to have a real voice in securing life’s essentials? Does it exist anywhere? Is it possible or a pipe dream? With hunger on the rise here in the United States—one in 10 of us is now turning to food stamps—these questions take on new urgency.
It is Spring Time!
By · CommentsYes, Spring is really here. It is warm and sunny! Buds are appearing everywhere and birds are singing. We have prepared the soil and some beds and are planting seedlings (peas) and potatoes. I am excited to be working on sustainable energy projects hopefully involving, sun, wind, and bacteria. Its too soon to talk much about it.
Perhaps Obama can keep it all going for a while longer. But now, it is clear we must start working to make the world self-sustainable as fast as possible. I believe growing your own food, decentralized renewable energy, and learning to love and connect with our immediate group of persons are the first most important things we can do. In some areas, water harvesting and cleaning may be also paramount.
I would be happy if readers would add their ideas as well.
what to do, what to do?
By · CommentsHere’s lookin’ atcha’, right from the shoulda……. Well, it seems inevitable…the collapse, kaleidoscopic, catastrophic…what to do, what to do? We have had about 11 years to make the world self-sustainable as a hedge against such a collapse. I knew it wasn’t much time, I guess a lot of it is my fault for not really following thru here on this website. i got distracted by other things, though I still am focussed on self-sustainability. Can I blame you and everyone else who didn’t contribute videos and articles as well? That might seem ungracious. But blame…we are past that. Its not about who is or was right and who is wrong. That won’t really help. Read More→
