====== Welcome to The Great Bootstrap ======


[{{  :seedling.jpg|Nasturtium picture via [[http://www.flickr.com/photos/finklez|Eran Finkle]]}}]


This website is based on the premise that change is possible, the premise that everything is not lost, and that together we can change the world for the better.


This site is a wiki, a place where people can share their knowledge. This site is hands-on. Maybe you want to leave the city and live on a permaculture farm, maybe you want to raise chickens on your suburban block, or maybe you want to plant a garden on the roof of your apartment building. This is the place for you.
