[UrbanCropCircle] UrbanCropCircle Digest, Vol 23, Issue 4

[Julianne Jaz]

Jean and everyone, actually, insofar as the coffee cans are concerned,
poking holes in the bottoms with a screwdriver and then painting the cans
(bright colors, whimsical designs, etc) could actually be a way to use the
existing resource on hand and then turning them into planters and something
of beauty throughout Nickelsville.  Personally, I'd be casting about for art
supplies rather than new (or other recycled) containers...

just my .02,

Thomas Jefferson said he didn’t think we could have democracy unless at
least 20% of the population was self-supporting on small farms so they were
independent enough to be able to tell an oppressive government to stuff it.
 It is very difficult to control people who can create products without
purchasing inputs from the system, who can market their products directly
thus avoiding the involvement of mercenary middlemen, who can butcher
animals and preserve foods without reliance on industrial conglomerates, and
who can’t be bullied because they can feed their own faces.
- Eliot Coleman,
Author, Farmer, Human Being

“I’d put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I
hope we don’t have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle
that,” the great American inventor Thomas Edison said in 1931.

If stories come to you, care for them. And learn to give them away where
they are needed. Sometimes a person needs a story more than food to stay
alive.
- Barry Lopez, in Crow and Weasel

Let only laughter scar your face.
Rwandan saying

" As you turn the earth to plant your own backyard garden, plant an extra
row for the hungry.  When it is time to harvest your labor of love, drop
your donation at the emergency food pantry or soup kitchen in your
community.  In this way, even the neediest among us will know that the earth
has not forgotten their name.”
