Thanks for the show. It's nice to know there are people that are like-minded and taking action.

ccpo

ccpo

Finite is finite, isn't it? It must peak being finite.

ccpo

ccpo

The Georgia Street Community Gardens

ccpo

ccpo

Correct. Mark Covington.

ccpo

ccpo

Thank you!!!

ccpo

ccpo

What is the date this year?

ccpo

ccpo

How is your organization doing with allotments? They are not nearly as extensive here as in places like Korea and Europe, particularly Britain.

ccpo

ccpo

What does the city need to do in response to chickens besides simply allow them? Are they going to clean the coops?

ccpo

ccpo

But what of people who really do not have extra money?

ccpo

ccpo

Right. How do you get change at the city government level. We have people in planning supportive of all these things, but they are not the decisionmakers

ccpo

ccpo

People don't like change, and more so, have no idea what is coming.

ccpo

ccpo

Chickens are still illegal here in Detroit, too. Lots of guerrilla chicken raising going on.

ccpo

ccpo

It's the roosters, if you ask me. And maybe the Avian Flu stuff.

ccpo

ccpo

and ducks

ccpo

ccpo

Would probably include kimchi, I'd think.

ccpo

ccpo

Pickling at 4.5+. Is that pH?

ccpo

ccpo

There are hundreds of gardens and thousands of people involved.

ccpo

ccpo

The Garden Resource Program Cooperative runs classes, and provides resources to local gardeners in Dttroit.

ccpo

ccpo

Permaculture and Resilience Initiative - Detroit (PRI-De). We're running permculture design certificate coures in Detroit.

ccpo

ccpo

Since noone is here, can I plug our program in Detroit?

ccpo

ccpo

What was that URL?

ccpo

ccpo

Aquaponics.

ccpo

ccpo

Is nobody listening? No commenters...

ccpo

ccpo

Agreed. Localization, self-reliance, sustainability, community, Resilience vs. efficiency.

ccpo

ccpo

Good point, but WE must become the government. A government of Mr and Mrs Smiths, no?

ccpo

ccpo

Katrina is a good example of the natural process, but what about a city like Detroit that has lost more population and more housing, by far, all due to economic decisions, i.e. profit motive?

ccpo

ccpo

A republic actually makes it harder and slower to initiate such programs.

ccpo

ccpo

Yes, a great film and story. The thing to keep in mind is the nature of the government.

ccpo

ccpo

Well, it will come back, but possibly without us.

ccpo

ccpo

With the major problems we face, how do they get met by the people that legislated these problems into existence?

ccpo

ccpo

I think you are raising an excellent point: Who are the leaders, really? How do we become the leaders?
