Introduction

With the current climate of the world (pun intended) going in the direction of green energies, gardening, farming, self sustainability, energy independence, and cleaner and greener technologies, I feel that it's important that we share as much information as possible with each other in order to become more educated in these areas so that we can all better ourselves by taking steps in the right direction.

Many people talk about climate change or global warming as a very important thing that needs to be discussed in politics and in our culture in order to protect the planet, our environment and ourselves, and I do believe that it's an important issue that needs to be considered, however it's not my main focus.  It's not a motivating  factor for me in creating this blog, and I would like to refrain from engaging in any conversation about the subject.  As we all know, lately there has been a huge change in the political climate, and there has been a division created in our society between the people on the left, or as some people would call them "hippies" that are pushing for reform in our laws and our methods of energy creation and consumption, and the people on the right who, supposedly, are not concerned about the environment, and are only interested in making money.

This introduction is going to be the only mention of global warming or climate change in this blog.  Because of the tension between the "left" and the "right" in our politics today, the issue of climate change is a very heated, very highly debated topic, and I believe that it diverts attention from the issues that really matter.  The purpose of this blog, as I mentioned before, is to spread information about new technologies regarding "green" or sustainable energies from natural resources and gardening methods that help to promote self-sustainability.

I would like for each person to take it upon themselves to examine their own lives, to evaluate their own situations, the way they live, consume energy, the kinds of energies they use, the foods they eat, the places where they buy their foods, what's in the foods, and most importantly the lack of importance that each person has placed on these issues in their daily lives.  I would like for each person to take responsibility for the way they live and use the information provided in this blog to better themselves by becoming more independent and less reliant on energy from the grid, fast food, frozen foods, genetically modified foods, and foods that contain huge amounts of preservatives,  fillers and hormones.

It's become clear to me that most people want to be independent of the fast food culture and corporate monopolies, but they are afraid to do it because they don't know how.  Of course, it won't be easy.  It will take lots of hard work.  We can't sit back and expect someone else to do it for us, not corporations and certainly not government.  They can help, but ultimately we all need to take responsibility for making the change.
