   THEY hate you. And THEY don't want you to be independent. This is one of the most ludicrous articles I've ever seen in my life.

   Stop growing your own food…. For the environment!

     "The most significant contributor to carbon emissions on the urban agriculture sites we studied was the infrastructure used to grow the food – from raised beds to garden sheds to pathways, these constructions had a lot of carbon invested in their construction."

     @texafornia Read the release on the study. It convicts because you don't have "economies of scale".

     It didn't seem to include the carbon expenditure of food distribution from Ag Biz farms with "economies of scale".

     Funny, that.

     any well read Lefty should be aware of Wendell Berry and his writings against Agribusiness.

     It is possible to care about more than one thing at a time.

     The dematerialization and regreening in the capitalist world over the past century is strong evidence that the market care about the environment...Once people have climbed high enough up Maslow's hierarchy.

     The best path to sustainable environmentalism is to quickly raise the standard of living of the world, not suppress it. Only when people are rich enough to enjoy nature do they willingly pay for it.

     This is insanity.
     we should start guerilla planting food trees and plants everywhere we possibly can. Whatever is native to the area that will take off like wild fire with no maintenance.
     Why not? Fill the world with food the same way the "food" industry has filled the world with pollution.
