Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["Tradingpost" <tradingpost@gilanet.com>]

But it's all tied together isn't it. So is the work of Medha Patkar, Arun 
Gandhi, and Satish Kumar I believe. The same corporations that break every 
law to hold down wages here hire strikebreakers to gun down workers in other 
countries. The approach I endorse here is not fighting the demons but 
bypassing them, similar to Gandhi's constructive programme. Don't buy from 
them. Don't borrow from them. Don't sell to them. Don't work for them. 
Produce, consume, and network locally, and you'll find more security than the 
corporate trap. And the cancer will die without a host to feed on.
