IN OUR TIME

The Earth is the source of real wealth. Instead of rescuing the financial banks, we should invest in the Earth bank; creating fulfilling employment on the land, reducing food miles, supporting local food production, and reducing carbon emissions. Supporting the Earth bank is the best way to end the economic downturn.
