The discussion was awesome. There were so many good points that people made.
The main prompt was “what is the best ‘first step’ to get the Green revolution going?”
Some people said that education was the first step, the point was made that if we educate out little ones it would be more of a possibility that they go on to be farmers and make the world a better place.
I made the argument that we should switch to non- fertilized crops and return to the old ways, but have poor high school and college kids do the hard labor, because they are desperate for money anyway. If they like it, they could make a career out of it.
In the article, it made it sound like such a “no brainer” to switch to the old ways of healthy farming, but I just don’t understand why we haven’t done it if it’s so easy. You would think that we would have done it long ago, and especially with our technology. But it seems like it all revolves around money. What makes money for the “big dogs”.
If we can convince the people on top to start changing things, then we have hope to ACTUALLY change things. Either that, or we need to find a way to make more money than oil so that people will actually get on board with this.
