Sharon Astyk has inspired many people to think about and work towards food and energy independence. Most of us have so much to learn, having been raised from supermarkets and the global economy. Sharon’s weekly updates is a very useful idea, breaking up the mammoth task of learning how to support ourselves into a series of questions. Obviously not all of us can learn everything. Perhaps by following Sharons lead, and meeting with our neighbours to discuss ‘Independence Days’ together, a level of co-operation, mutual aid and local specialisation can be found at the street or village level. Money is losing its value fast, but useful skills once learned will increase in value to ourselves and our communities as the economy continues to crash. So much to do, so little time – if only people had listened to the peak oil ‘prophets’ back in the 70s!
