There's a close relationship between sustainability and the pursuit of self-sufficiency.
If we have more control over where our food comes from and how it is produced, for example, wouldn't we make better choices than a factory farm out to make money?
If we were in charge of producing our own clothing and household products locally, wouldn't we choose methods and chemicals that would not harm our community?
Control empowers every day people to live a life of choice, rather than one of convenience and powerlessness.
Sometimes it's harder or more time-consuming, but at least it's yours.
