Act 2 - Food Security
- Help someone start a home garden. - I want to get help from my farmer friend to plant my plot this spring. I have been discouraged by the soil in my area that is harder to work than I am used to in the midwest (spoiled by good soil). It would be a great project to plant a tomato plant for each of my neighbors.
- Volunteer at a local community garden. I have been meaning to join our local food co-op and the CSA that drops off right by my work. I will do that.…

Learn 2- Food Security
This lesson was a real eye opener for me. I believed I had a good sense of the extent of hunger that is going on in my state, but the reality is quite a bit more stark than I had envisioned.
My research came up with these statistics:

Imagine 1
My best case scenario looks something like this. I will have my formal education completed and I am secure in my career. I should be in my peak economic capacity and hopefully have all debt paid off. I am hoping to have a minor in history and be able to teach that in some capacity as a side line. At this point in my life I should be able to slow down a bit and have more time to mentor and volunteer on a larger scale. At this point I will still be working hard to be able to have a retirement… Continue

Learn 1
I am trying to formulate in my own mind exactly what I believe social innovation can be and accomplish. I am hopeful. That in itself could be the spark.
The tip that I picked was:
Innovate on existing platforms (We’ve got bicycles and mobile phones in Africa, plus lots of metal to weld. Innovate using that stuff, rather

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
