  Getting Our Goat

    We anxiously await the arrival our baby goat that will join the rest of the   happy menagerie of chickens, ducks and rabbit here on the homestead.  Stay   tuned.

    Action = Impact
    In the next few months/year we hope to implement planned programs of   "ONE-LESS," "POWER-DOWN DAY" and take part in the already appropriately coined   "100 MILE DIET" (started by Bay Area Locavores as they challenged people from   all over the world to eat within a 100 mile radius of their home).
  We like to challenge ourselves even more this year to action and   change.  Sure, we are already doing some of these actions/non-actions   already, but how much more can we do.?
  What do we mean by "one-less"?  One-less meal cooked on a gas stove,   one-less hour(s) spent on the computer, one-less trip with the car, one-less   food product or item purchased out of state and so on.  
  Our goal is to work up to "Power Down Day" as it goes hand in hand with   our  "One-Less" program which is one whole day without using any plug or   hook up that includes:  lights, gas stove, tv, washing machine, computer   (don't have much else) sans the refrigerator that will have to stay plugged   in  (for now!)  and that includes the phone too.

  FILM SCREENING: READY OR   NOT?

  When: Saturday, May 6    
  Time:  7:30 p.m.   
  Where: USC Campus, Los   Angeles

  "READY OR   NOT"

  This is a story about three families who are   preparing for the 
possibility of a global pandemic, global energy crisis,   and global 
climate change.  Beyond awareness, beyond talk, they have   taken action 
to ensure the safety of their families and communities.    They believe 
it is time to prepare for the future NOW, while they still can,   before 
it’s too late!  This crux of this story evolves around an   average 
person’s ability to do something small to help create a better   future, 
by enhancing the power for resilience and   adaptation.

  Featuring Kathlyn Powell and Jorge Strunz, Melinda   Epler and Matt 
Eliseo, and Path to Freedom (Jules, Anais,   Jordanne and Justin).

  With appearances by Jan Lundberg, and Michael   Ruppert, and Strunz and 
Farah.

  Directed by Melinda Briana Epler
Produced by   Lindsay Trapnell and Matthew Williams
Cinematography by Andrew Russo
Sound   Edited and Recorded by Erik Anderson and Landon Johnson
Edited by Bethe   Gordon and Timothy Kolesk

In our society growing food yourself has become the most radical of   acts. It 
is truly the only effective protest, one that can-and will-overturn   the 
corporate powers that be. By the process of directly working in harmony   with 
nature, we do the one thing most essential to change the world-we   change 
ourselves.    ~  Jules Dervaes   ~
