Where to begin! How to help yourself.

Go to freecycle.org and Freeshare groups with sites like Google and
Yahoo. This is the ultimate sharing system. I have seen anything and
everything come and go on these groups, from vases and plantpots, to
cars, televisions, and playstations. Remember to give as well. It takes
minutes.
Next acquire a plant pot and plant a vegetable that you like to eat.
Once you experience the joy of your own tasty veges, you'll grow
everything you can, even from a top story flat in the city centre, but
take it one step at a time. Never done this before and need help? Go to
the I dont have a clue topic!
Change your lightbulbs to low energy ones! If youre on benefits, change
one a week until youve done them all, you'll see the difference in your
electric bill quite quickly.
Decide if you can live happily and sustainably where you are or if you
need to move. If you will need to move in the long term, find a
community with the same ideals and start contributing.
Show yourself that even by doing the little things, there is a route to
a better life.
Once youre growing your own food, you've already taken control over
whether society can starve you,(or that mean person at the benfits
office who doesnt care that your payments have been lost on the
computer), Your life will begin to destress.
BUT
The single most important thing to do is find people who share your
desire to be free of the system! Make friends that will swap foods and
share resources, Perhaps join a community that are working towards
their own country/city settlement or even create one yourself.
