"If a company is too big to fail, it's too big to exist." Bernie Sanders

Invitation to discuss a bottom up economy, participatory economics, how to purify water, how to garden, etc.


 

Linn just posted this recently:  Goodbye farmers markets, CSAs, and roadside stands

"Slow Food reminds us of just where we need to be (and notice how much would help any local economy):

  • Forming and sustaining seed banks to preserve heirloom varieties in cooperation with local food systems;
  •  Developing an "Ark of Taste" for each ecoregion, where local culinary traditions and foods are celebrated;
  •  Preserving and promoting local and traditional food products, along with their lore and preparation;
  •  Organizing small-scale processing (including facilities for slaughtering and short run products);
  •  Organizing celebrations of local cuisine within regions (for example, the Feast of Fields held in some cities in Canada);
  • Promoting "taste education;"
  •  Educating consumers about the risks of fast food;
  •  Educating citizens about the drawbacks of commercial agribusiness and factory farms;
  •  Educating citizens about the risks of monoculture and reliance on too few genomes or varieties;
  •  Developing various political programs to preserve family farms;
  •  Lobbying for the inclusion of organic farming concerns within agricultural policy;
  •  Lobbying against government funding of genetic engineering;
  •  Lobbying against the use of pesticides;
  •  Teaching gardening skills to students and prisoners; and
  •  Encouraging ethical buying in local marketplaces."
