Re: what should we do?

Consumption is a big problem... however larger than that is the paving and deforestation of the earth... we are literally suffocating ourselves. MH has discussed this.

Stop paving...

I live in a desert... even here, with water run off only (my desert is becoming more so due to mans building\paving\steeling of resources), a man has built up 4 foot of top soil in his yard in just 4 years. He grows over 200 different edible plants on a rather small residential piece of land.

He auctioned off salad for eight from his yard last year and it went for $700! He also supplies some very particular restaurants and chefs with the foods... all bio-dynamic and organic; and all off of this small piece of land (less than 1/2 acre with the house on it!).

We can reverse the trend without giving up too much in comforts... question is do collectively have what it takes? My guess is no.

It could be all turned around in four years if everyone, including the military got involved. The military could replant the deforested areas of our national and state lands. We would have to quit manipulating the weather too...

Plant, plant, plant... that is a start... you will oxygenate and help repair your immediate surroundings.
