Re: Save the Seeds Movement...was Consensus

I practice and promote growing your own, seed saving, cooperation, and
community self reliance. It's easy to be so concerned about countries
halfway around the world and neglect what we can do in our own backyards.
Our own food, health, land, and survival is at stake, threatened by the
same corporate predators that impoverish other countries.
