Here in Australia, there has been a huge surge of interest in all of the local initiatives. We've got local community gardens (I visited one this morning) a school garden programme, and people are enjoying the spirit of local farmers' markets as social and community meeting places, as well as somewhere to shop and support a locavore approach. There is also an increased interest in home gardening, and an increase of scrumping (foraging) for food. Thanks to you, and peace be with you too :) This is a very positive account of what is not just happening in US.

More of this is heartening and required. Keep manufacturing consent, the public need to feel empowered to act meaningfully. It is a great website generally, developing into a valuable resource for the new era. Thanks and peace be with you A good positive post. More of this is heartening and required.

It will be a happy day when localization becomes the norm rather than the exception. Nice to hear of some common sense changes being made.
