A crash course in changing the world.
Sustainable Food Center of Austin
I believe the biggest problem facing food security in my area is akin, if not identical, to that facing most American towns and cities: lack of knowledge.. We barely know how to feed ourselves (at least, extending no further than buying food from the local grocery store or fast food restaurant), and we know nothing of a healthy and balanced diet. We completely disregard the essential value of a rich, home-cooked meal; and we are teaching our children to be exactly like us...
So I wanted to look for local group that is working on these issues: offering resources and education to the ma****..And I found what I was looking for in the blog of one of my fellow Austinite Evoke Agents: Mr. Hayden Linder. Sorry to steal your idea, but this is a good one >=D They're called the Sustainable Food Center of Austin. This is an organization that is working to take the whimsical vision of sustainability and make it a reality...
http://www.sustainablefoodcenter.org/
Their website is amazing.. They have everything from how to start your own garden to recipes for the food you grow to dates for the next farmers' market to the locations of each of their 19 community gardens that are scattered across town. They've organized Farm to Work programs for local businesses, as well as Farm to School programs for area schools. They're taking this great idea and showing people that it is workable and profitable. I intend to do more research into ways I can get involved with these people, likely by contacting them via email or visiting one of their centers or gardens.. Keep ya posted!!

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.

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.
