False economics
Do economists, social engineers and world leaders organise conflict, human injustice, terrorist attacks and pandemics to distract us from our natural instincts? Our DNA has built inside a basic survival urge, to find water and shelter, gather food and make fire. Happiness at the most basic is when we're warm dry and well nourished , followed by herd company, and having real connection with other people and nature. Strip back all that we're been told that we need or have to have or do, and retake control, by having the know how to grow and forage food. Learn Skills that give us the ability to make shelter, warmth and direct social interactions.

Being pro active (climate change)
One of my personal goals is to plant a minimum of 300 trees each year and 10,000 in my Lifetime.( Which has already been achieved). In one five year period I didn't manage to plant any, Which I regret , and this year 3,000 have gone in the ground. So my aim is solid, but flexible and the more people who are planting trees, the more the climate stability locally increases and more wildlife habitat and diversity returns, and natural balance follows

No offence taken, the older you get the quicker time passes, so you use it wisely
Swimming in a waste stream
One of the best resources in urban areas is what people throw away and untapped skills or knowledge. In rural communities much less is discarded and items hold their value longer, including knowledge and experience. Reusable materials are needlessly thrown away every day, old crafts die and local history lost, due to lack of interest. Mainly this is due to the lack of it connection between those who have and those who need or want. Community connection can reduce waste.

We live in a small village in the middle of nowhere (340 inhabitants) and until recently my wife ran the local commerce (shop, pub, cafe) It was a low waste enterprise with only one bin every two weeks, the rest was feeding a pig, making compost or mulching veg and sheep mowed the beer garden. As the hub of the community everyone knows us and that I reuse rubbish, so quite often people bring me what they would normally throw away.
Introduction
Hi everyone ๐Ÿ‘‹๐ŸŒฑ Iโ€™m really excited to be here and learn alongside people who love growing their own food. Iโ€™m especially interested in hands-on growing, simple systems, and seeing real results (first harvest in days sounds exciting!). Looking forward to geeking out on vegetables, herbs, microgreens, and everything in between. Quick question for you all ๐Ÿ˜Š What are you currently growing or what do you want to start growing first? Happy to be here and connect ๐ŸŒฟ

By accident I seem to have followed you here from FFF . Urban permaculture seems to have gained quite some momentum. I think I've been out in the sticks too long and this is a interesting deviation.
