Victory Garden

Victory gardens were started in WWI and WWII as a means of growing food for the troops and reducing the cost of war. The people felt empowered. Well, we don't exactly do that anymore, but, I say we start victory gardens to fight the war on the economy and the earth. If we all start growing our own fruits, veggies and herbs and sharing the bounty with thy neighbors, we'll learn to love thy neighbors and band together during these lean times. We'll also save money, eat healthier, have safer neighborhoods, save trips to the store, and fuel to fly the veggies across the world to the stores, and keep pesticides out of our back 40. 

You could go the seed share route, or you could do seedlings and coordinate with the neighb's, or just plant some stuff and hand it out on the doorstep or at the office. People will love you! So, become empowered - go plant some stuff, make some friends and be happy in your gardens!
