Mission 2: food security
Objective: "Describe the biggest challenge to food
security in your own local community or country -- and an
innovative solution that is already underway."
The biggest problems in my country, as far as I know, are the poor not being able to get sufficient food, and a shortage of space, which will only be more worrisome in the future.

"Where will you be in 2020?"

"if somebody already invented it, you don’t have to"
Of the 33 secrets, I chose this one: "if somebody already invented it, you don’t have to". To many people, it may sound lazy, unimaginative and what not, but it IS a good thing to know. Why invent hot water if there are already ways to get it? If we look back in history, we see a plethora of great marvels and wonders of the world. The pyramids, Mayan empires, Stonehenge, you name it, all were made with very basic tools and techniques.

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 watershed association has done a wonderful job protecting these waters from the damaging effects of development.The wood grill was finally ready to cook on, so we didn't miss the propane tank fueled grill anymore. 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
public servants
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.
