I don’t think Ron Finley realizes that this could literally destroy the need for money. Think about what are the three thing we work for. Energy, housing, and food. This could eradicate the monetary system and push us forward with humanity eliminating poverty entirely.
Have you heard of the documentary Urban Roots? It’s all about the rise of urban farming right in Detroit and a really good watch. urbanrootsamericaDOTcom
Year’s age we use to have fruit trees all over the place and down lots of our streets but over the years they just disappeared, Probably the money men who thought they would loose if we could just pick our own, Great job grow that shit x
Ok, its not nonsense but why did you take my post down?
I listened more closely to what you said and in general I agree with you. Healthy eating pride, & self reliance are important. That piece of empty earth in front of your house , if done respectfully and properly can be a great resource & can help transform some people.
Who the hell am I and what the heck is my comment worth but I applaude your effort and your getting it done attitude.
My family owns a house on a hill in san diego. The hill is owned by the city but we have to maintain it. We wrote a letter to our community so they allow us to build a wall there to straighten the ground Now we use the ground we gained to plant fruits and vegetables. Im glad that there are other people thinking the same way. Otherwise the space goes to complete waste.
