Liz and Rachel,

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts on this critical issue. I love the way you related the banking crisis to permaculture.

We have advanced so far in our modern society, but have not learned the lessons of those who came before us many years before us.

I remember as a little kid listening in wonderment to my day, who was born in 1908, about how his father taught the family how to preserve food before the introduction of modern refrigeration. Of course there were the canning process of using the Mason jars, but how many have heard of food cellars? These were large outdoor holes (cellars), dug into the soil to the right depth, and fruit, vegetables, etc., were stored here. Steps were made during the digging process, and a special covering of boards, covered with soil & straw, completed this unique natural refrigeration system.

I appreciate your articles. The are so informative and gives one an alternative prospective that the quick fix answers we find in mainstream media.

Please keep up the fantastic job you’re doing.

Sincerely,

Bob Gaines
