Thank you.

Activism is key to any change.

The part about freeing ourselves from things or minor conveniences that we can do without.

Great Post.

Think about it-

We have become pretty close to total dependency on grocery stores and fast food.

Just a thought...

@JixMa Not man. The Natives were here and kept it that clean. It was the Europeans who fucked it all up.... I mean they're still men, ha, but the indigenous folk respected nature. They don't get enough credit because we have tried to erase their histories...Sad

"make up a flier and put it under everyone's door"

More communities should be like this. That is the problem now, communities just not carring about each other or sharring anything with each other. Cudos to these people!

Wow i wish my community was like that my community only like you if your a home owner if your not they don't want to know you.

To a degree I absolutely agree with you. Re-cycling is an industry and has inherant problems. Ruduction first is optimal. Things like glass, aluminum and other metals should be recycled because those are the things where it matters. Paper, food, natural fiber and yard waste should be composted. Plastics are a personal choice but you can reduce what you put into a landfill. Whether they are full or not doesn't matter much if we didn't have them we would have space for other things.

Im all about self sustaining, but recycling our garbage because our landfill are full is BS!

JixMa- you have to create it in your area, it's not going to create itself. Plus- do you really think that any of the state or federal thieves (governments) will create this for us when they own the petro-chemical industry????
