Comments on: Our Contaminated World: Making Nature Illegal http://surfingthetao.com/2009/02/27/our-contaminated-world-making-nature-illegal/ Striving to increase awareness of our spiritual natures as well as the news, technologies and agendas in our world which influence them.

My reasons were fairly simple. Lots of jobs, nature is clean, food is greatly under-priced, GMO-free, EU bans most of imported US GMO food and lets be honest, Czech Republic may seem as any other country in EU, but law enforcement is weak and you can do pretty much anything you want. Last year I started growing cannabis in my backyard, noone cares here. I used to live in US, but I moved to Europe, specifically Czech Republic. My reasons were fairly simple.

You said it well, my friend. You have taken an important step yourself and I hope many more follow, back to a thoughtful and sustainable way of life. Enjoy your tomatoes! :) “A re-adaptation of our food/fuel/community networks.” You said it well, my friend.

We may be forced to turn to such measures (as was Russia in its 89 economic collapse - see Orlov's 'Re-inventing Collapse'). Social contraction does not have to throw out global communications, its rather a re-adaptation of our food/fuel/community networks. One of the reasons I wanted to move to Andalusia was to be connected to these better networks. My local 'all things' store has vegetables that are home-grown by the shop owner without ant pesticides.... great huge tomatoes! This time of purification will be spiritual as well as earthly and back to living 'within' our means, not as greedy gobblers without a care.... Great articles!

The things you've reported here about our blessed government are insults to mother earth and the millions who look for sustenance from her. One byproduct of our mad rush toward ecological calamity is that, while the gov't and big agra may hold sway for awhile, climate change will dictate the need for local and sustainable farming in the end.
