Reply #40: There are no individual solutions [View All]

Go ahead and shop at Walmart. It meets your needs.

You are not "individually responsible" for what is a political problem. This crap about everything being "individual responsibility" should be banished forever from DU!

Folks at DU understand that we need collective action to change things for the better.

If your laws won't allow co-ops, then write your state reps.

Contact co-op associations and see if there is a way you can help.

Maybe find if there are like-minded folks who can help you start a food co-op. Anyone else in DU-land that can help?

Are there small farms near you that the co-op could buy from? Fresh produce buyers clubs are a good way to start.
