To be real, I think the Dollar General Lifestyle and Walmart need to start folding up and people need to start re-evaluating their values. Local and self sufficient is really the life of the future, back to gardens, eating right and neighborhoods. I think its a long road but it seems to be where the next trends are leading. Keeping imports down. Using innovation and creative ideas to fill in the imports.
While I realize for some this is difficult, even for us, we have no land to grow on, but we have family and friends who do and we share the land to grow things. Cutting back on garbage stuff overall brings about a healthier and happier vibe.
