How to save the world, at home.

Check out this excellent article on one man’s quest to save the world- very much from the micro perspective. Here is his mission:

Let’s be honest. I can’t change the world. Maybe you can. I don’t have the personality for it. So what can I do?
Imagine yourself, surrounded by concentric circles - like a giant target, with yourself as the bullseye. In target practice, the bullseye is the highest point total, with the rings decreasing in points as you get farther from the center. That’s how I imagine my ability to change the world. I can make the biggest differences closest to home.
So with that in mind, I’ve cobbled together ideas from my favorite authors, my own experiences, and concepts other people have had success with to form my own Crazy Scheme. There’s nothing particularly original about any of the pieces. Maybe not even the combination of pieces. But it’s a combination that makes sense to me.

I think he hits the nail right on the head. While not all of us have the land to grow/raise much of anything, most of us at least know someone who does have the space- now all you need to do is convince them to make use of it!
