Forever Planting (for Peak Oil & Climate Change)

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Wed, 01/02/2012 - 4:13pm

We depend utterly on fossil fuels, especially to grow our food. From natural gas comes the millions of tons of fertilizers. Oil provides herbicides and pesticides. All is planted and harvested with oil power, driven, shipped or flown to your table.

For now. Until fossil fuels become too expensive, too rare, too polluting to use. We only have a short time to find other ways.

We were at the Lobby restaurant... we have written the whole story for this Wednesday's The National Indigenous Times, and have various accounts contrary to what's been pummelled out by mainstream news media - we have our own eye witness account. We have included all accounts, all sides!

To get a contextual balance you need to read this week's The National Indigenous Times, so find a way to get a copy.
