Here is my humble suggestion. A simple slogan to broadcast everywhere possible: GROW GARDENS; GROW COMMUNITY; GROW AWARENESS. These three core injunctions all reciprocally reinforce one another. You have done a good job with the third injunction right here. Now, go talk to your neighbors and form a Garden Guild, to learn and teach one another how to grow our own food, create habitat for pollinators, get rid of monocultures, herbicides, and pesticides, rebuild healthy topsoil, et al. Form reading circles within our garden guilds to study permaculture design. Toby Hemenway’s “Gaia’s Garden” is the best manual I know for creating suburban scale permaculture gardens.
