Homesteading, self sufficiency, growing and producing food in a responsible and sustainable way, and buying locally.
With this blog, and some of the links I'm going to add, I hope to begin that journey - and possibly enlighten others who are perched on the fence - regarding the value of those choices.
I'd like to start off with a few ground rules, and expand a little on what I hope to accomplish.
What this blog is:
This blog is a place for me to post my thoughts on what really impacts us. For example:
A) the "new" economy,
B) learning how to stretch my budget for food and other items through gardening and "backyard farming",
C) environmental concerns - covering weather, climate change, toxins and pollutants,
D) current events
What this blog is not:
A) a forum to debate global warming - the name doesn't matter, I think we can all agree the climate is changing.
B) a forum to debunk Peak Oil or resource depletion - I've already made my mind up on these issues and spent years researching them. I won't be diverted, so don't bother.
C) a political arena - although I reserve the right to call bullshit on any political creature that shows their ass in regards to the above topics. Let's face it, it really doesn't matter if theres a (dem) or (rep) after their name, they all go by the same play book.
D) a call to arms for survivalists or Mad Max'ers - there are already enough sites and blogs dedicated to THAT particular flavor of insanity, and I want NO part of it.
As an addendum, I'm going to add that I'm not opposed or biased against the occasional "tinfoil hat" theory - as we're finding out daily, things we thought were "woo-woo" (Big Brother, TSA, surveillance society, ad nauseum) are all too real as we move into the future.
So that's my first post - I'll most likely be adding things during the day and hopefully I'll be able to include some links to pertinent sites soon.
Thanks for reading.
