We are all concerned about our survival and some environmental impacts. The reason why this country seems like it suffers sometimes is because of a lack of community. The powers that be want us all to be seperate from one another so that they can keep us in line. ("divide and conquer")<BR/><BR/> I believe that what will protect us from a failing economy and other problems is not only sustainable living but strong bonds within a community. People always worry about getting a better paying job. But there aren't any gaurentees. People underestimate the power of networking and building strong bonds with others. <BR/> <BR/> I feel like even in th raw foods community we still carry the same mindset of me versus us. I think it's vital that as a community we become more unified. We can assist one another in solidifying a prosperous future and maintain our resilience to natural forces. <BR/> BekiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1641876630179038946.post-88357924935494938542008-04-25T14:12:00.000-05:002008-04-25T14:12:00.000-05:00Love the post Anthony!

I grew up on a small little farm in New Jersey. My grandparent's had a vegetable garden and we had our own nature made barrier around the house that was filled with raspberries and blackberries. I use to pick them and eat them straight off the branch. I think growing up in such a natural, country-esque environment is what makes eating raw feel so "right" for me. I was never a processed food kid and I am lucky to have found raw food at 22 and previous vegan food at 19 -- so my body hasn't been totally obliterated by deadness. Anyway, I am enlightened by your permaculture project and when I get older, I really want to do something just like this. If not have a yurt of my own then at least an expansive garden and fruit trees. I watched Zeitgiest this weekend and after seeing that and what is instore for our world, coupled with the rising oil prices - I feel that it is ever more important for people to be self-sustainable. I live in NYC too, and so I find it hard to really be sustainable however I am as eco-friendly as I possibly can be outside of growing my own food. Anyway, thanks for the inspiration. <BR/> Alysha<BR/><BR/>P.S.

I was saying the same thing last night...Ha awesome! I was saying the same thing last night about how pissed I was that people like Al Gore try to make us think that changing a light bulb or driving a hybrid will have an impact. <BR/><BR/>I cant stand how the green movement has turned into our new religion. If we really wanted to affect change we would go after the big oil companies...seriously why hasn't that been done yet.....<BR/><BR/>Remember the Live Earth Global Warming concerts a few years back? They were put on by David de Rothschild and were the largest coming together to "Save the Earth" in history.<BR/><BR/> David de Rothschild of the Rothschild banking Family....hmmmm <BR/><BR/>Anthony, keep on rocking out!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
