This will help reduce the dependence on the government. Big business has very little to do with controlling your personal water resources. I say yes, SELL your clothes. Get as much money as possible for anything you no longer have a use for. Self-preservation and efficiency as a person should be priority #1. I love the clothing advice. I will incorporate most of those suggestions immediately. Thanks! Johnebook, we should mention personal rainwater collection and reuse. This will help reduce the dependence on the government.

Excellent blog! My only observation is what I conside a contradiction. Go to thrift stores and buy clothes. Do volunteer work and assist friends and neighbors. Then sell your clothes? No, donate them to a shelter. Good points on gardening. But let's go one step further than planting perennial vegetables and fruit plants. Use a groung cover, preferably a legume, as a ground cover in your garden. Recycle those lawn clippings you do have along with your leaves into the compost pile. Plant a row for the hungry. And when you get good at it, share your gardening knowledge. Step 2, learn to save seed and propagate those perennial fruits and veggies. Step 3, research and learn to be an activist about your food and about your planet. Be careful about what seed and chemical companies you support. Know what your politicians are trying to take away from you. Now is a very critical time. Big business and the government are taking control of your food and your water. And if we haven't reached it yet, we are very close to the point of no return. Keep up the good work. Johnebook 2500 hits and no comments??
