Thanks for sharing it I can’t believe I’m in fervent agreement about ag-anything with the doyenne of a Nebraska farming family. Never would have predicted I’d become so interested.

We need to draw our strength from the land and our energy from the Sun.”
I couldn’t have said it any better.
Today I received a message from the EarthJustice group about the expansion of coal ash dumps near a Paiute reservation. When I read this post here and those last words written by Nancy Packard I got the general feeling that the people had finally got wise to what is really happening and were getting wiser about the importance of the natural world to our existence.
What concerns me most though is this. Have we got enough time left to acheive what needs to be acheived and to reverse the damage done already or are we leaving it too late to do anything worthwhile?

For the EarthJustice article with a video worth watching go to:

For the rest go back to basics. Permaculture is one solution that everyone can do.
Thanks for another informative article.
