Been promoting & practicing Solar IS Civil Defense for about 20 years in my own small way: https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2007/3/30/317777/-

I thought one way to make it happen was through farmers' markets

Mentioned practical civil defense actions at a recent local XR strategy meeting but I don't know if they'll pick up on the idea.

I'd feel a lot better if XR, Fridays for the Future, et cetera were doing real emergency climate prep besides their political stuff.

Every day is Christmas at the library and a good librarian is a combination of Santa Claus and Sherlock Holmes.

Gardening, guerrilla or not, is local production, one translation of swadeshi, the core of Gandhian or nonviolent economics, a daily practice

Gardening can be extremely powerful:
USAmerican WWII Victory Gardens began in Spring 1942 & by Autumn harvest 1944 were producing a third to a half of fruits & vegetables on the Home Front

Now,
imagine Climate Gardens using known regenerative techniques of carbon drawdown
&
what could be done in more than only two growing seasons
