| − | Growing your own [[food]] is for everyone not just people that want "[[organic]]" [[fruit]] and [[vegetable]]s. To produce your own food, even as little as 10% of what you use reduces your dependence on "the system". If nothing else [[gardening]] is good for your emotional and physical [[health]] and increases the value of any [[real estate|property]]. See [[:Category:Permaculture]] for more specific articles. | + | Growing your own [[food]] is for everyone not just people that want "[[organic]]" [[fruit]] and [[vegetable]]s.

| − | * [[Renewable energy]] is an important part of [[:Category:permaculture|permaculture]]. [[Alternative energy]] is great if you do it in a way that saves you money (short or long term) but your [[solar panel]]s are not going to save the planet. Man-made [[global warming]] is a scam designed to force the U.S. into a [[globalist]] [[United Nations]]-controlled [[taxation]] system. If you want to promote [[solar power]], [[wind energy]], [[hydroelectric]], etc. the best way is to develop it in a more cost effective manner. Fuel efficient vehicles are also great but the effective implementation of such vehicles requires that they be affordable, well built and well-engineered. The lesson is that the best way to promote "[[alternative energy|green energy]]" is via [[economics]].

Individuals should strive to own land in the [[rural]] country where [[taxes]] are low and [[big government]] restrictions are limited. Even if you live in the city finding, buying and improving land within 3-5 hours of your primary residence makes a lot of sense. If you can use it to get out of the city at some point so much the better.
