There are many sustainable modes of travel- bikes, walking, river/sailboats, horses etc.
A major issue is that modern society is obsessed with speed. As long as high speeds are considered ideal, demand for finite fossil fuel and mineral resources only increases. I think a conscious transition to lower speed travel is needed.

Many young people might be able to afford land if they try but it’s not like it used to be where you can just buy some cheap land and become a full-time homesteader. I don’t mean to discourage anyone but I do think we need to think outside the box of ownership. Alternatives like ecovillages, communes, gleaning/foraging and traveling activism also have advantages outside the financial realm.

Actually those ones i marked as GD are actually goldrush… which are the best apples evar as long as you don’t have to worry about Cedar apple rust, if you don’t trust me do your own research!

Ok, I get it, I just think some people need to rethink taking travel that is as fast as flights, for granted. I never fly but if you want to be eco friendly and are used to flying  instead of seeing relative slowness as a disadvantage of more eco-friendly options you could learn to enjoy the journey and also rethink longer trips.

Old and feeble people matter. They should be treated honorably and equal to everyone else.

If your lucky and you have a farm, then you maybe could provide housing/work to young people. The thing is. Since most young people can’t afford land anymore* it’s waaay harder for us to get into permaculture. Or we can discuss alternatives to ownership like ecovillages, and encourage activism.
* I don’t mean to discourage anyone this is just my experience. But I think maybe we need to focus less on ownership.

This year I froze about 5 quarts of blackcaps, made 12 jars of blackberry jam and gave away some berries, froze apples, harvested grapes, crabapples and pears and some apples.

I know this is a lil off topic…but I think alot of people just fly cuz “its quicker” But I think “why do you want to go SO DANG FAST? And yeah people have other reasons… but I just think that its good not to always have to go fast. Patience is nice.

Where do you get your ideas? From dreams, books?

You should check out my forum, “What do you forage for” I am an avid forager and don’t mean to diminish it, I just think other things are important too.
