More people in San Francisco could get involved by collecting the discarded food and feeding the homeless, which is what they do in New York. All the farmers market leftovers get shipped to shelters. SF needs more people like Tree to mobilize and help these homeless get back on their feet. What tree is doing is amazing.

We are fortunate to have a group in Portland that picks fruit from trees where the fruit would otherwise go to waste. http://portlandfruit.org/ As for the question of the day, I just spent the afternoon with my neighbor creating signs for our Neighborhood yard sale which we are organizing together. Hope that counts. :) Be well, anabel Nice to know about Tree, he is a great gift to the community.

Many can't afford it so I got the idea that instead of having a "cow/goat share", some one with too much milk from their personal cow/goats could have a "work share". Then it could be organized to member's having a certain day to take care of the animals and take home free milk. That way the owner's of the animals could have some free time for themselves and someone else could have some free organic raw milk! :) You don't work, you don't eat.

Every Saturday our members and neighbors bring our extra garden produce to church for people in need to pick up from 10-2. Any leftovers on Sunday get taken to another towns food bank.

Chris and I were noticing here on Maui that A TON of fruit goes to waste all over the island. We are going to put something together where we will collect unused, unpicked fruits and get them out to the public, that would otherwise go to waste. We also want to work with children and get them involved in growing and sharing the food with others. If we educate ourselves about the growing of food, we can share the "heatlh" of information with others. We are going on another Farm Tour Saturday which will be fun and interesting, cant wait! We have an amazing property that we live on here. There are huge papaya, banana orchards as well as plenty of gardening space. We are working to get it OVER producing and getting the overflow out to other people who are not growing. If you are a member of Inner Circle, you can check out our videos on our page- Chris and Sara or Mr. & Mrs. Smith. ALOHA ~ Kevin you are awesome!

And Michael, he's right to speak of 'communism.' Socialism, simply put: from each as able, to each by work. Communism: from each as able, to each as needed. He's just sharing, not allocating by work. He also likes communal gardens better than private. We mustn't fear words the 'Powers That Feed' call naughty. And his remark about how the current dying system turned food into a commodity would please Karl Marx. For us, at the start, let's support co-ops that share outside the coop community. Let's ourselves share with neighbors (who isn't my neighbor?). And where do we get stuff to share? Grow it where you can, in do-it-yourself self-watering pots if that's all you have. (And you do have more, don't you.) And with those neighbors you get to know, share with others nearby that you don't know at all well, maybe didn't want to know. Each dollar you don't waste on a multi-national corporation or some grasping distant firm to misuse, can go to sharing of things and ideas in widening spirals, till we learn- at long long last- to SHARE THE WORLD!
