Family Food Garden: Food for All + Global Warming Relief
Lifestyles of advanced nations have become so energy intensive that critical fuel repositories are lapsing and global warming has upset climate equilibria with devastating consequences (furious hurricanes, floods, volcanoes, tornadoes, wild fires, and earthquakes). Civilization is threatened, wars and crime and human dislocation have escalated, and Earth’s seven billion inhabitants fall short of food. This perplexing situation of Great Tribulation is not, however, without remedy. Single families all around the world can find perpetual food security AND curtail energy over-expenditure simply by implementing home food gardening. Were every family on Earth able to effectively meet their food need from their home garden, nearly 1 billion presently starving human beings can recover to health and vitality . . . feeding themselves though the grace and knowledge of God’s globally-adaptable vineyard.
Universal family food gardens can save 28 energy quads (about 5% of world energy consumption) by eliminating food transportation. Comprehensive family gardening cuts 10% from the margin of energy consumption EXCESS annually pumping into the atmosphere, and subsequently revisits Earth with unprecedented lethality and destruction. Consider the personal (family) leverage placed in your hands: One family gardening on less-than one acre could, with replication, spare the world trillions of damage dollars and save hundreds-upon-hundreds of precious lives. Think of it: millions of productive Earth acres otherwise falling to devastation and desertification would be preserved.
Ponder the opportunity to become a peaceful Green Soldier for God. Train for vineyard service. Arm yourself with garden tools. Leverage God’s liberal gifts of seeds, sunshine, rain, and good earth. Repair to your back yard and begin saving the world!
