Author Kurt Vonnegut suggested that we all "improve out own small corner of the universe." In our small neighborhood; Oakhill/New Bohemia in Cedar Rapids we are taking steps to build an urban sustainable village. Obesity and diabetes from commodity based, processed food results in billions of dollars of disease care costs that hit low income people hardest. Instead of handing out USDA commodity foods to low income families, were distributing fresh produce and seeds and teaching families how to grow real food in the our neighborhood in the central core/lowest income area of Cedar Rapids. This type of effort can take place in any community.

I invite you to join in with this timely work. Building the paradigm of a sustainable global society begins in each of our own backyards.
