Today in class, we watched a video about a very special family. This is a family who has dedicated their modern life to being 100% independent on nothing more than their backyard. This family lives on not what they need, but what they have. They are still a very happy and successful family, they simply just don't apply the term 'want' into their lives. In class we are reading a book titled My Ishmael. This book is about a deep philosophy on how the world came to be through agriculture. I believe that in the book they are trying to convey a meaning to the reader that we are destroying our world and it doesn't have to be this way. Through this film we watched a family in a regular san diego home transform their small yard into their personal farm; the movie was very inspirational. They are trying to show their ways of life through various websites like this, this, and this. I think that their attempt to reach the world is making an important difference in showing people that change is possible even in a world like this. Their outreach is growing and they are setting an important example to the people of our future.

They are a very cool family! There is a lot we can all learn from their lifestyle. Sounds like a good book you are reading too.
