1,000,000 SOUTH AFRICANS TO PLANT AN ORGANIC VEGETABLE

If ever the people of this country needed something to unite us all, this is it.

We are in a period of darkness. Economic darkness, emotional darkness, social darkness. Water systems are failing, we are running out of power, the food we eat is shocking and there is never enough money. As Phil Collins wrote: “There’s too many people, making too many problems. And not much love to go round.” And all the decision makers do is fight about what the next step should be.

Well, there is one solution that they ALL agree on. In fact, this is probably the only solution that:

• All doctors agree is good for your health
• All psychologists agree brings relief to anxiety
• All politicians agree will boost the economy
• All teachers is agree is enlightening for our children
• All religions agree will help you feel closer to God
• All environmentalists agree is the very first step required in order to save the planet

The 20th of March, 2010 is the Autumn Equinox. On this day, we request that a million South Africans plant an organic vegetable. Just one, that’s all. If you’re a veteran, then it should be easy for you. If you know nothing about how to do this, then we’ll teach you when you register on the website.

We are www.plantingseason.co.za and the Countdown has begun. Every day, hundreds of new people and companies are uniting in a stand against a synthetic system that is not delivering. From hanging planters in flats to entire offices being converted into blossoming gardens, this is what is being planned when Planting Season kicks off. Seeds are being donated, employees mobilised and families are preparing for great a night in with the Greens.

Nature is the new world order. She is the hand that feeds us and gives birth to us. We have forgotten this and it is time we came back home. She is waiting.

This is the world we live in,
And these are the hands we’re given.
Stand up and let’s start trying
To make this a place worth living in.
