Okay so we're in a depression and many have had things stolen from us....there are banks going belly up and taking money. We have lost faith and pride in what it means to be an American and to buy American.
So I have an idea to get my neighbors together and I suggest we can all do this. Gather the information about who has what skills and start your very own market places. Exchange goods, purchase goods from one another at decent prices. Get together with your local farmers and start buy in programs like we have here. No more pesticides! No more food coming from God knows where.
We have local organic growers who will let us all buy in for a decent price and deliver boxes of vegetables to us. If you don't have local growers become one! Even if you only have a limited amount of space or if you must invest in a mobile garden. Plant herbs and veggies in wheel barrels or other mobile units you can row out on a deck and bring in at night...something to look into. Even if for your own use.
I read that there are several cities in Canada that are making it legal for people to have hens in city limits. This way you can raise your own eggs and or meat. At the very least you have eggs and you have wonderful entertaining companians! They are wonderful barn animals to have around and the feathers can be used for all sorts of projects. They will shed loads of feathers every year and you can collect them up.
Whatever your choice but pulling together as smaller communities and putting each other to work with and for one another could turn out to be profitable for everyone involved. Get the local seamstess to make wonderful clothing that people can then purchase for cheaper prices than purchasing name brands at the store. Renew the art of bartering with one another.
No one else is going to look out for us. It's God and all of us as communities pulling together and taking care of one another.
Haven't we learned that strangers in our midst simply don't care about us despite what their advertisements say. We are more than consumers. We are spiritual beings all invested with talents and abilities we can put to use for ourselves and others and our lots will be plentiful.
God Bless all of you...
