We need to change how we create and use energy and power - in all their forms

but so are dung beetles - and we're annihilating them with our industrial farming practices

while #RegenerativeFarming practices not only sequester carbon - they keep the biosphere thriving. Win-win.

This is the field that was to become The Woodland Orchard, when I first walked onto the site in 2005.

It looked fantastic, but I didn't know then that the soil wasn't in great shape.

It started an incredible, near 20 year journey learning about soil health and regeneration.

On "Local Futures dot org", the free interactive Localization Action Guide is something you really have to see in person.

With the biggest shopping season of the entire year approaching, it’s time to bring our economies back home, to return to a human scale & localize.
