Dear Cheryl, We crashed the system! Due to the overwhelming number of people who signed on to watch the "The 2% Solution - Focus the Nation" webcast last night, Earthday TV's system went down halfway through. We want to apologize for any frustrations you may have experienced trying to watch the 2% Solution webcast and give you another chance to watch. Sorry about that! Earthday TV had the bandwidth for 10,000 viewers, but far more logged on than they expected. (A bit of good news actually.) In case you missed it, here's how to get to the archived version of the web cast. Please watch it and comment on it! Go to http://www.earthdaytv.net/ Click on "The 2% Solution - Focus the Nation" Web Cast Forward the webcast to a friend. Click here to comment or discuss the webcast or today's Focus the Nation teach-in! Also, it is our understanding that there were some very inappropriate messages that ran across the screen that do not reflect the vision or values of Focus the Nation. We deeply regret these offenses. The webcast producers had a team of people working to censor these messages, but apparently some made it onto the screen before they were caught.

If you haven't heard of the coop before, check it out at:www.oklahomafood.coop The second message (below the post from Bob) is from Turtle Rock Farm in Red Rock. Let's just cut right to the point: Growing vegetables in your back yard (or your front yard) is an excellent way to develop some part-time income and provide your family with great food. Growing vegetables in your back or front yard will increase your quality of life and your economic security and your physical and mental and emotional health. Growing vegetables in your back or front yard provides exercise which is important for good health. Growing vegetables in your back or front yard provides food that tastes very good and is full of nutrition. We need people willing to start part-time, micro-businesses, growing food and distributing and selling it into the local market. Lately there has been a lot of news talk about economic uncertainty. Entire sectors of the debt industry are in near-melt-down mode. The economic chattering class is going on and on and on about The R Word (recession). Our government says the 2007 inflation rate for the year was 4.1% and energy price inflation was 17.4%. But in the last quarter of 2007, inflation took a sharp turn up. The inflation rate for all items Oct-Dec 2007 was 5.1% -- and for energy it was 37.1%. Primary data is at href="http://www.bls.gov/news.release/cpi.nr0.htm">http://www.bls.gov/news.release/cpi.nr0.htm . The globalized economy means that when Shanghai, or Hong Kong, or Washington, or London, or Moscow sneezes -- everyone gets a cold, even us'ns here in Oklahoma City. Just as we are not in complete control of our food destiny right now, we are not in complete control of our economic destiny. Changing our food destiny is what the Oklahoma Food Coop is about. And economic viability is as important as social justice and environmental sustainability. By working together, we can change our food destiny and our economic destiny and our environmental destiny. Given how important "economic viability" is to most of us, now is the good time to explore creating a part-time business that produces something for the local market. Consider it a hedge against the possibility of economic and food disasters. Local food production grows in a very sustainable way -- many small enterprises, spread over a large area, cooperating with each other in a local circle of trade and enterprise. No "one big operation" that monopolizes everything. Nobody should quit their day job. I'm not. But within a month or two, I plan to bring to the coop market my product -- bulgar wheat, made with certified organic wheat bought from another coop producer. And also Hotter Than Hades Homemade Habanero Sauce. (HTH3.) I recently pointed out to the producers that we may sell a million dollars of local food products in 2008. I asked them, "What are you going to do to make sure you contribute to that million dollar in one year benchmarket?" Now I would like to ask our general membership -- "What could you do -- something new -- to increase local food production while at the same time creating yourself some part time income?" If you don't think you can make money out of a relatively small plot in your back yard, go to href="http://www.spinfarming.com/">http://www.spinfarming.com/ and read all about how these folks in Canada gross $50,000/year on one-half acre in a city -- and its not even one contiguous half acre, it is scattered around town in 20 plots. We have their guides. There's a lot of expert advice available. You're not going to make $50,000 your first year, or even in your first several years. But you will earn income and as your skills, production, and customer base increase, you will earn more economic and food security. We even have a structure handy and already operating to help you market. You can become a coop producer yourself, or you can hook up with the City Farms Coop founded by food coop member David Rushton, and sell through the network they are establishing, which includes a producer membership in the Oklahoma Food Coop. Check out their producer info at href="http://www.oklahomafood.coop/shop/producers/djr00.php">http://www.oklahomafood.coop/shop/producers/djr00.php . In an economy as uncertain as the present, diversifying your income sources is more than a bit prudent. The Oklahoma Food Cooperative can help you do that. By 2012, we could be selling a million dollars of locally produced foods every month. But to do that, there must be a million dollars of locally produced foods available for us to sell. So we're not talking "we need five or six", I'm saying we need hundreds, and then thousands, of new local food producers (or existing producers who re-orient their focus). In the next 4 years. This month, 63 producers have something to sell through the coop, and many of the more in demand products are already sold out. 82 people opened baskets in the first hour of today's order (I call this the Oklahoma Food Coop Land Rush, although it's really an Egg Rush.) 258 people have ordered thus far today. Four years from now I bet that thousands of people order on the first day of the February 2012 order. And in 2016? We will be even more popular. If you're going to bet, this is where you should lay your money. That's where this train is headed. I hope we're all on board for the ride. I am sure it will be bumpy at spots, but the food is something to write home about all along the ride. So ponder those apples in your cider and see what you come up with. (That's an official directive from the head office, so I hope everyone is paying attention.) Y'all have a bon appetitin' good time ordering these 2,461 great Oklahoma foods and artisan products that are on sale this month. Bob Waldrop, Oklahoma Food Cooperative www.oklahomafood.coop PS. One final note. Every day people are dying in wars in Iraq and elsewhere. Ultimately, they are fighting over oil. Thus far, in the midst of our global troubles, we tend to forget that there are things we need to do here on the homefront to contribute to a world of peace and justice. During World War I and II, "Victory Gardens" made an important contribution to local economic and food security. In those days they remembered the truth of this children's rhyme: Little drops of water, little grains of sand, Make the mighty ocean and the pleasant land. In 1918, 1/4 of the US population was cultivating a Victory Garden. Ninety years later in 2008, we here on the home front send our petro-dollars to pay for the bombs and bullets that terrorists use to kill civilians and our soldiers. The more money we send to OPEC, the more death and suffering there will be. That's obviously not our intention, but that is the unmistakable and unavoidable consequence. It's a bad picture, and we need to get a better one. And everyone needs to contribute something, somehow -- producer, customer, advisor, teacher, cooperator, entrepreneur, researcher, distributor, investor. -- all these are necessary for a functioning local food system that rewards environmental sustainability, supports social justice, sustains rural and urban communities, and is economically viable. More local food production helps break our destructive petroleum dependence on the good graces and "friendship" of OPEC et al. It positions us to meet the energy realities of the future (higher cost, less availability) and thus insulates us from potential economic shocks. It reduces the flow of money to the enemies of peace and freedom. It's really unlikely that the complex world situation is just going to muddle along for the next 50 years the way they have for the last 50. We're building towards what the sociologists call a "punctuated equilibrium" -- that is, big fundamental changes. During all of my lifetime until recently, gasoline has been cheap. My first car, a 1960 Ford Falcon, I could fill up for 23 cents/gallon, and like all of us, I just got into that car and went anywhere I wanted to go. One gallon now costs the price of a fill-up in 1964. That was then, this is now. The tank is much more empty than it was then. The price of fuel will continue to increase. Meanwhile, back at the drawing board, our entire built infrastructure, agriculture, and transportation systems are predicated on cheap energy. Oops! We need built infrastructure, agriculture, and transportation systems that can cope with future energy realities and we need that sooner rather than later. "Not meeting this challenge" is not an option. The only thing we can do to moderate the price of energy is to use less fossil fuels and more renewable energies. Growing a local food system is an essential aspect of our region's energy transition. Procrastination is the thief of time. ----- Original Message ----- From: Pat HoerthWe here at Turtle Rock Farm have a suggestion about how to help folks do this.

David DerbyCapitol: (405) 557-7377 Derby Takes Recycling Philosophy to the State HouseOKLAHOMA CITY (February 6, 2008) - According to the Oklahoma RecyclingAssociation, Americans use 200 million tons of paper a year foreverything from daily newspapers to books and cardboard boxes, throwingaway at least 100 million tons of paper, almost all of which could berecycled. State Rep. David Derby said taking one little step couldreduce those numbers and help the environment.That's why Derby added a recycle trashcan to his Capitol office thisweek in hopes of starting a trend and leading other representatives tohave an environmentally friendly office."We need to be leaders in all our actions, especially those that makeour state a healthy and beautiful environment to live in," said Derby,R-Owasso. "Legislators get so much mail everyday, not to mention all thepaper used to print bills and work material, and all that materialusually gets thrown away in a non-recycle trashcan. Something needs tobe done."According to statistics, a ream of paper (500 sheets) weighs about threepounds and each ream would requires 3.6 kg of wood - at 3,000 reams peryear using 10,752 kg of wood, about 16 trees per year, or about one treeevery three weeks will be used.Derby said based on these statistics and knowing how much paper is usedand thrown away by the House of Representatives, legislators need tofind ways to save more trees."I hope my simple trashcan makes a difference. Whether it has small orbig results it is a step in the right direction. I hope I can keeptaking more steps in the direction of an environmentally sound workenvironment," said Derby.Derby noted that there are large recycle trashcans placed throughout theCapitol but just none in every individual office. _________________________________________________________________ Shed those extra pounds with MSN and The Biggest Loser! http://biggestloser.msn.com/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
