Be Less Boring

Virginia over at Living the Local Life posted a very well done essay by Annalisa Cox of Tuckaway farm in Lee, NH.  The essay is A Call to Young People and gets to the heart of the real problem the human race faces--that we've become so dependent on industrial agriculture we've forgotten how to grow, preserve, and perpetuate our own food supply, that we're not listening to the Earth, that we're living too fast and unsustainably, and that young people should seriously consider choosing a life and lifestyle that is sustainable and in tune with the natural world.  It's not a wishy-washy bleeding heart piece like one might expect, but a very thought provoking essay on the direction we should all be moving in but have not been for the past several decades.
