Marjory Wildcraft, founder of The Grow Network and author of Grow Your Own Groceries, explains how we can contribute to the local food production movement by using our own windowsills, planters and backyards as a food production system.

Even those with no prior experience can swiftly learn how to grow and raise a meaningful portion of their dietary calories.

Executive Summary

  • Clarify the specific outcomes you think are most important to prepare for
  • Models of regeneration (vs consumption/extraction)
  • High return-on-investment steps everyone should take
  • Make of yourself a model to inspire others

If you have not yet read Part 1: Save The World By First Saving Yourself, available free to all readers, please click here to read it first.

I worry that almost nobody is ready for what’s coming.

Not financially, not psychologically or emotionally. And not with respect to their current lifestyles.

My decade-plus tracking the data leads me to conclude that:

  • Food insecurity will be part of my future.
  • Energy abundance will diminish over time
  • The financial system has enormous losses baked right in and they cannot be avoided
  • Our local city/town or communities will feel the impacts of the loss of purchasing power coursing through their veins. This ‘simplification’ will be very destructive to those unready or unable to adapt.
  • Either humans voluntarily stop putting too much carbon into the atmosphere or nature will force that outcome under far less favorable terms.
  • Travel will become quite limited and perhaps become an unaffordable luxury within the next couple of decades.

Do you share these?

If so, I don’t want to panic you. Quite the opposite. I want you to realize that while these are potential eventualities you can’t control, you can do plenty about how they’ll impact you.

These are the smart responses virtually anyone can take that will offer you tremendous advantage against…. (Enroll now to continue reading)

Executive Summary

  • Our complex economy is poised for a forced, painful simplification
  • The urgency to prepare for this inevitable Tipping Point
  • The actions I’m taking right now in my own life to prepare for this

If you have not yet read Part 1: Overdosing On Crazy Pills, available free to all readers, please click here to read it first.

In the coming years and decades there will be hell to pay for society failing to properly assess the risks and re-align its priorities and activities accordingly.

Collectively, our human nature is sabotaging us.  That’s my conclusion after exploring the biological underpinnings, as well as the limitations and realities, of our genetic programming.

Since humans are wired for optimism, and strongly discount the future for the present, then short-term decision making is what we’ll get.

Unfortunately, we need long-term decision making.  But because that’s currently ‘out of stock’ in today’s society, you need to do what you can at your own personal level.

As I am fond of saying, when it comes to decision-making, I have great faith in individuals but almost no faith in groups.

People, I trust.  Groups, not so much.

The larger the group involved, the more suspect it becomes.  I’ll bet the founders of Google had the best of ‘non-evil’ intentions when they began.  But now the behemoth is busy spying for the government, helping to weaken and overthrow various foreign governments that are unfriendly to western business interests, and helping to rig domestic elections.

Two guys doing pretty good.  Big giant powerful company becomes evil.  Stop me if you’ve heard that one before…

So the following steps — which I’m taking myself —  are critical to…   (Enroll to keep reading)
