I used to feel pretty powerless when I thought about how global warming would affect the future of our children and grandchildren. Appealing to politicians to change laws and implement green technologies takes too long. Also, green cars and tech are still too expensive for most of us to consider. I wanted more power over the situation I felt powerless to change. I had to change how I consumed while living in a city. We live in a city with 500K residents. We live in one of the most fertile agricultural spots in Canada. Yet, our region is one of the top food importers in the country. We have become used to a system of food dependence. Imagine if we took most of the yard space available in urban areas and grew food on them. The impact toward curbing global warming would be almost immediate. How? Delivery trucks require gas, oil, tire changes, regular maintenance, and they spit out CO2. If people in urban areas grew a portion of their own food supply, there is an immediate drop in the frequency in delivery trucks that are required to bring food to that destination. Therefore, less gas, tire changes, and less CO2. Growing your own food is a protest. It is a peaceful disengagement from the system.
