My Farm

Submitted by Leila Conners on July 30, 2009 - 4:10pm

One of the more intriguing and revolutionary ideas is coming out of San Francisco, with a company that calls itself My Farm. MyFarm is a decentralized urban farm. They grow vegetables in backyard gardens throughout the city and so by increasing local food production they are creating a secure and sustainable food system. They also use organic practices that create the best tasting and most nutritious vegetables. For more information go to www.myfarmsf.com

How great to see the 'grow

Submitted by Shynney on August 10, 2009 - 6:24am.

How great to see the 'grow your own veggies' idea spreading. Here in Wales we are pestering our local councils for allotments. There used to be so many of them around but many have been lost to development over the past thirty years. If six people from an area petition their local council they are supposed by law to provide space for allotments but its not always that easy but we are making progress.

Supporting the Message

Atraction's action communities are created to help people plug-in and engage after seeing our films. Help us continue our work and support the message by buying our DVDs, T-shirts or other cool things related to our films. The films we make are created to raise awareness and help foster change around issues of the environment, social justice, consciousness, health and well-being. With each film we launch and action community and conduct educational tours of the film to universities and schools. We also create teaching materials that help people dive deeper into the subject. By purchasing a DVD, or other things, you help spread the message.

Purpose

The purpose of this website is to inspire people to take action. We encourage people to take action at home and in their communities. On this social action website, you will see thousands of examples of what people have chosen to do to make the world a better place. We believe that when people see what other people are doing, it helps them take action too. So we ask that you open a profile, and tell us what action you are doing, perhaps you are going to plant a vegetable garden, or you are going to help start a recycling program at school, whatever it is, let us know and tell us how it's going. You can post videos, pictures and statements. If you need inspiration, check and see what people have done by looking on the action map or joining a group that has already started. Together, step by step, action by action, we can create a healthy and just world.

Take Action

Stop talking. Now is the time. Take action here.
