Solutions

[Seashore]

This is a good list.

Here is information about the source of the list, Neighborhood 21:

To put it in a nutshell, Neighborhood21 is a grassroots movement of clear-thinking people who are aware that we are living in uncertain times and, rather than depending on others, are taking action to insure their own security.

Neighbors around here understand that it’s time to become self-sufficient and rekindle the wisdom of our pioneer ancestors.

We don’t waste our time hunting down the “crooks” or get distracted by the endless debate over who is to blame for the ongoing global financial meltdown. Instead we focus our energy on finding solutions; solutions that will help us to become independent and fearless.

“We have it in our power to begin the world over again.” – Thomas Paine

Neighborhood21 is a community whose members are actively taking responsibility for their individual destinies. It is NOT an online “chat room” where members waste each other’s valuable time, complaining about our difficult times or making excuses not to take ACTION.

In Neighborhood21 we are always for the solution and never against anything or anyone.

The global financial system has failed and we are witnessing its collapse. Most of us have become much too dependent on this fragile system and have never considered the importance of having a back-up in place for life’s necessities.

We are not waiting for “them” to fix the problem, be they government, big business or any other group of which we aren’t members. Rather we are rolling up our sleeves and creating our own community, our own markets and our own sustainable future. That’s how our great grandparents did it and we can too!

If our republic is to survive, it’s time for each of us to take back control. Neighborhood21 is a communication hub for those who recognize the urgency of becoming independent while helping those less fortunate to do the same.

Neighborhood21 is a resource center. Here you’ll find critical information regarding self-sufficiency and survival.

Time to go to work.

First, let’s analyze our situation. Regardless of the spin heard from many in the media, the global financial crisis is unprecedented in history and has the potential to cause unimaginable repercussions. The one thing that is certain is that life in America is about to change and we dare not rely on this system for our survival.

It is likely that we are beyond the point where the situation can be resolved on a national level with central planning. Our ONLY hope is to pull together at the grassroots level and find local solutions.

Neighborhood21 has been created as a tool to aid in this goal. This is the people’s central communication hub. Only the people have the power to make the changes necessary to improve the health, safety and security of our communities.

It all starts with YOU. Once you have insured these things for you and your family, the burden of helping you will be removed from your community and the entire community is better off.
