Kinda interesting interview with this guy (Scott McGuire) who wanted to see how much food he could grow in his 1/3 acre yard.
“It’s a group thing… You can’t have a local food supply by yourself. It has to be done with other people.”

This is not news to anyone, but clearly being green in a holistic sense has to involve getting more local and more solar (ala Michael Pollan) in many ways, and food is one of those ways.
It’s also exploring community/CSAs vs rugged individualism/homesteading.
