Observing a locavore in Northeastern Ohio
Food shortages would come as quite a shock in my community in Northeastern Ohio, as we seem to be surrounded by fertile farm country. And yet, as food production has globalized we have become more disconnected with the food producers that live around us.

Understand not only the environment, but also connections & process
This blog post is a response to the "Innovation in Africa" blog post used for part 1 of the 1st quest. Dave Tait pulls together a great deal of advice and does well to cite his sources. I'm particularly interested in his first piece of advice at the end of the post:

Fourth of July on the Lake
This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years.

The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
