“I was asking around about something similar to “cottage gardens” here in the U.S.
During WWII, we used to plant what were known as victory gardens, as a way to reduce the strain on industry and provide food to people in times of increased need.
Why we can’t bring that concept back in order to help the “war for the environment” effort is beyond me. I guess it’s just that everyone wants the easy way out. They want to change a light bulb, or carry a canvass bag, but no one wants to make long term cultural changes.”

I absolutely love that idea! If everyone carried a canvas bag, changed light bulbs AND planted their own organic garden, that might win the battle and the war.
