it's all a bit eco friendly up here

I'm visiting my mother... and today as I entered her home I noticed stacks upon stacks of plants. She's very worried about climate change/peak oil/Monsanto etc ' so she's growing everything her tiny apartment can fit. She informed me that ' the future is all about sustainability and whether we can actually provide for ourselves...' Apparently Monsanto is responsible for producing one cycle seeds ( you know seeds that don't reproduce. ) FREAKY!It was all very confronting, but bloody interesting also and she put me onto these guys..... Deep Green. They run a transition town up in Orewa....I had know idea these existed so found it....well, bloody interesting.

Wiki (my bible) explained that 'The aim of the project is to equip communities for the dual challenges of climate change and peak oil....Transition towns are all about shifting our mind set so people can actually recognise the coming post-cheap oil era and use it as an opportunity rather than a threat.....'

Ahhh thanks ma. I always rely on you to both freak me out and get my consumer psyche back in check.
