Homesteading
is a term
used for the 'back to the land movement', 'back to basics', or the
'simple
life'. This type of 'Country Living' includes rural residents, hobby
farmers, suburban gardeners, as well as folks living in cities who are
doing what they can to decrease their dependence on the system.
Community gardens are growing in popularity in every major city
in the U.S. More alternative energy systems are found in the suburbs
than anywhere else. Self-reliance means developing skills to provide for
basic needs;
whether to save money, for emergency preparedness, to insure quality, or
so we
can stop supporting unethical and destructive industries.
