An urban adventure at the threshold of nature and culture, taking back our own time and space, transforming the urban desert, into a provider of food and a space where people meet face to face to discuss and participate directly in the remaking of their own towns and cities. Learning to produce our own food is essential if we are to ever truly take control of our own lives. It liberates us from the role of passive consumer, remote from real decisions, alienated from nature. It is a step away from the grip of capitalism and the concrete boot on the foot of life. Growing food requires land. Look around you, it's everywhere. If not horizontal, it's vertical. There is always somewhere. Your imagination is the limit, railway embankments, back gardens, golf courses, roofs, car parks, overgrown bits, cracks in the pavement. The flower beds in your town centre could be growing your crops, right in the heart of the consumer landscape of burger bars, chain stores and supermarkets. Guerrilla gardeners are out there now. Why not join them in digging for revolution http://www.primalseeds.org/guerrilla.htm www.stopg20.org xoxoxoxo 1021 renata joy field po box 843 spit junction, 2088 [EMAIL PROTECTED] +61422854184 The 2006 G20 meeting of finance ministers, reserve bank governors and heads of the World Bank and IMF will take place in Melbourne on November 18-19. This will be the most significant gathering in Melbourne of people responsible for pushing corporate-led globalisation, neoliberalism and capitalism since the World Economic Forum in 2000. Global corporate capitalism is a ruthless system where economics are considered above the interests of humans and the environment. Our action should be seen as a vote of no confidence in this leadership, an act of defiance and resistance, and display of how communities can organise themselves outside and beyond the confines of neoliberalism.
