"I love that you've brought this to attention. An extensive database of uncommon but resistant and hardy plants/foods could be developed and organized by climate. Ease of growth and processing should also be taken in to account. I will try to…"
A crash course in changing the world.
Getting started.
Fascinated by EVOKE. Can this be used to build community in a local environment, too? Mission: provide teenage girls with the skills to navigate adolescence. Some of those skills: mindfulness techniques, self-defense, and adventure skills. Why?
a) Life is full of challenges. Own yourself.
b) Life is full of challenges. Be prepared.
c) Life is full of challenges. Have fun!
I'm inspired by these techniques mentioned in the first mission:
1. Constraint of resources: We live in the city. We don't have fancy studios, or lots of beautiful natural settings, or lots of time. But, we do have a few community centers, teachers willing to donate cla****, and a city that has undiscovered free outdoor activities. You just have to know where they are, and organize it, and teach the skills necessary to use it. We can do that.
2. Provide skills not technologies: These are things teenagers can take with them wherever they are. They don't need a lot of money, and each class provides a little nugget of an idea or technique they can take with them.
3. Innovate on existing platforms: This program builds on existing programs they're already familiar with. It uses the same strategies to reach teens and just takes it a little bit further.
There's more, but I thought this might be a useful introduction.
Now, we just need a decent name for the program. It's going to be cool, and the girls to whom I've mentioned it are already excited.

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
Stinging Nettle
In this blog post I will focus on a plant that is abundant in our nature, and which is immensely nutritious. It's of course the Stinging Nettle.

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.

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.
