I just had a wonderful through-the-fence chat with my next-door neighbor, whom I noticed had expanded her chicken set-up. She's not only expanded things, but is now supplying local #FoodPantries with farm-fresh eggs. Wow! She rocks! And yeah. I'll be trading produce for manure gold with her soon! #HotCompost, here we come!

7.6: #Abundance, #Inclusion, #Resilience: The #OneMillionNeighbours Projectby Sam Nabi
Season 7, Ep. 6
Monday, May 19, 2025"This episode, Ariel speaks to Sam Nabi about One Million Neighbours, a project bringing together the voices of local non-profits that envisions the future of Waterloo Region once the population has reached one million. Sam discusses the impetus for the project, providing a voice for the voiceless, the issue with grant applications, funding the future, being proactive instead of reactive to harsh policies, and much more. What might an abundant, inclusive, resilient (Ariel says: solarpunk) city look like on the human level? Who lives there, what do they value, and what are their daily lives like? And what does it look like to take action now at the regional/municipal level to ensure that utopian vision?"
