We live in confusing times and it’s hard to determine what the best way to go is.

In the early days the USA caused lots of problems dumping cheap food on the global economy killing off many farmers globally. In Mexico they’ve stopped growing corn because they couldn’t compete with the USA. Now we have a food crisis worldwide.

The UN wants to stop bio fuels, at the same time we need fuel to ship produce over the globe and surplus oil is running out.

It looks like LPG & coal will also increase in price along with other necessities. Coal is expected to reach $150 tonne this year.

We will see some big changes soon. I think we all have to learn to live within our own means, and go back to local communities.

Here in Tasmania, Australia, our apple farmers are going broke resulting in farming land being turned into housing. No one wants to farm the land that is then left idle and not used. Old growth forest is cut down for woodchips or pulp leaving thousands of hectors of land with 1000’s of tonnes of waste wood annually to be burnt off resulting in us living 3mths under a smoky haze.

I could go on and on. It’s time for a change.

Start at home, make a change and lead by example.
Maybe the politicians will follow.
