16. Building Community Gardens- Builds Communities

17. We will re-ignite the old flame of Victory gardens to support locally grown food. In World War 2 our country was called upon to produce its food locally, once again we must do the same neighbor by neighbor, community by community, county by county. Now, more then ever before, does the production of our food matter. We will grow our food using old techniques without the aid of fertilizers or pesticides. We will collect rain water and use Permaculture to the communities benefit to form food forests.

21. Closing Thought "Poised on the brink of ecocatastrophe, let us gain the courage to look at the world anew, to reverse custom, to transcend our limitations, to break free from the conventional constraints, the conventional views of what are knowledge and truth. Let us understand that we cannot graft peace and ecological balance on a dominator system" --Riane Eisler Let us form anew our Community with a vision of sustainability. Building Equality, jobs, and a bright future for the next generation.
