everything it needed to survive and by rekindling the spirit of respect for
all living things and the earth itself, we might be able to create a

Decentralization of agbusiness, localization of family farm coops,
educating our youth to embrace the truth and question everything.Showing
our children, our families and our friends that the
"throw away" consciousness prevalent in the media is not and never
