Imagine that there are several community gardens located within each city. These gardens were started by "Partners for Gardens in the year 2020" with the intent of communities desiring more gardens for the community to share from.



There would be at least, according to the size of the city, at least 7-8 per city, and all citizens are welcomed to use the garden. There would be caretakers to insure the gardens keep up to standard and continue to grow, and each person utilizing food from… Continue

There are many senior citizens that live in my area. A program that assures senior receive nutriotious meals, who are unable to prepare meals for themselves, is called "Meals on Wheels."

Back in the day, transportation was not affordable as it may be today.… Continue

4.Innovate on existing platforms (We’ve got bicycles and mobile phones in Africa, plus lots of metal to weld. Innovate using that stuff, rather than bringing in completely new tech.)
