Greetings,

I see that there has not been any posts here in some time. I wonder if folk found a way to simplify? :)

This has always been in the front of my mind. Never take more than you need. Always replace what you can. Recycle materials and goods. This year I joined an interfaith church. the focus for the fall program was voluntary simplicity. I knew I found my home when I heard this. They are a dedicated bunch of people. turn down the heat and off with some lights.

My dream is that we all could become self sustained with our own supplies. I am considering downgrading from my apartment to a decent sized r.v. trailer. setting it up to be solar powered. possibly a way for wind generation too. I want to do some urban commando gardening. grow my own organic foods & herbs. Then I don't have to worry about being poisoned by the latest food on the recall list.

Thirty years ago, we grew our own foods. today we depend on a machine to feed us. This is how nutritional value goes away. Processing a food can lead to illness. At least that is how I see it.

I wonder if zaadz needs to simplify and remove inactive pods LOL
Peace and Blessings
