I don't live in a very populated area, which keeps me a bit more disconnected with the outside world. I am always the last person to find out lol. So with the community gardens, I don't see much. In my town, we few have tried to push the Reeve and the fellow township people to have one installed but to no avail. For some reason our town is being runned by people that are not interested in doing anything for the community and the people vote for them too (???) It raises a lot of questions.
So this summer, I plan to work with a couple others to have people come together in creating a system where we can all grow food and trade with each other, and those that do not can still come and trade for something, whether it be a crocheted hat, scarf or mitts, or a piece of art, anything. Have a town where we support each other more.
We have to travel 53 kms everytime we need groceries, health services, clothing etc. This would help for food, less costs on gas and being better for the environment. It would help to get better and healthier foods into people, would do so much good in many ways.
How to encourage the people to do it? I am not there yet. I have to plant seeds in the minds of people as a lot are crossed on doing anything...
Do not ask me why I was not able to put this in a nutshell lol. A lot is going through my mind XD
