The Grand Strategy

I think the best strategy for a mass movement that will solve most of our worst problems the quickest must be plain as day.

We have to re-localize.

Just as Cuba had to do when Russia collapsed and they could no longer use petroleum based industrial agriculture to grow food, we have to turn our lawns into organic gardens.

Every tomato we grow ourselves is a tomato that doesn't get grown with pesticides and isn't shipped cross continent in diesel trucks. If we grow it organically we use naturally available fertilizers to maintain the soil's productivity indefinitely. No need for petroleum based fuels, fertilizers, or pesticides.

For each of us this means we must learn to produce our own needs from resources and skills available within a few minutes drive.

One tremendous weapon we have in our favor is the Internet.

I would expect this forum to be hot bed of re-localization activities.
