Reconnecting with Our Roots - Food for Body and Soul

Peak Moment 96: Linda Buzzell-Saltzman and Larry Saltzman of Santa Barbara share a love for their garden in more ways than one. Larry is creating a lush food forest and teaches permaculture to promote local food security. Ecotherapist Linda helps people heal their relationship with nature, noting that many problems are rooted in this disconnection. [www.forthefuture.org]

A foodshed profile based social networking site would be really cool. It could pool together people living close to each other for sharing what they grow locally while giving internet onlookers something to be inspired by. Participants could offer anything from indoor herbs to the bounty of a thriving garden ...just a thought.

Couchsurfing dot com poses a good structural example for something like this.

We've taped a community just starting this in a suburban Santa Barbara neighborhood. Keep your eyes peeled for a future show on it.--Janaia

Sharing is a dirty word. Any effort we make must be paid for by someone. Any product we desire we expect to pay for. Community is also a dirty word. An interested neighbor is called nosey. Privacy fences are standard. There are no open spaces for gathering together. Sustainability is actively hampered by most city laws by banning chickens and small animal husbandry. The industrial machine which is our country doesn't want us to be sustainable. But we can try and we can change. Thanks.
