Why I’m Going to Freedom Plaza
Yet, here I am. Do I really need to do this? Well, yes. Why? Because in the end, it always comes down to the streets. When the greed, the hypocrisy, the assaults on our freedoms, our pockets, our future and our common sense go so far beyond the level of toleration, there’s no substitute for the outrage of the streets.
Our Global Work Day Actions for 10-10-10
10 AM on 10-10-10—an auspicious moment, if you like the number 10! I am at the Alice Griffith Garden in the Doublerock public housing development in Bayview Hunters Point—a neighborhood of San Francisco sometimes known as a ‘food desert’. It’s easy to buy a bottle of liquor or a fistful of oblivion here—really hard to get a good, fresh vegetable.

October 24 Day of Action: What I Did
What does political action do? Does it matter that a dozen of us spent a day standing in the sunshine, holding signs, talking to tourists?
I believe it does matter. We calculated over a thousand people will have seen our signs. They’ll wonder what ‘350’ means, and what it has to do with climate change? They might click on 350.org and find out that this action is one of 4000 worldwide. They’ll marvel that even in our remote corner of the world, people are concerned about the issue. We’re everywhere!

Global Day of Climate Action: October 24 350.org
When we take action, we need to know what we want, not just what we don’t want. Confronting climate change can drive people into into despair and apathy. Never just say ‘no’ without also saying ‘yes’—because solutions are out there. We have the means we need to solve the problems, and heal other major wounds in the process. We just need to do it.

A Forest Garden
A well designed forest garden produces its own fertility, more or less takes care of itself, and looks like a lush and healthy woodland—but just about everything in it is edible, medicinal, or actively contributing to the health of the whole.
