While our racist government is distracting us with Xenophobia real problems that this country faces are not being dealt with. And the idiot racists swaggering down Nuneaton high street are supporting all of this, they are supporting this Government while they think they're marching against it.

Food Banks Are Getting Into the Controversial Carbon Credit Business
Eight to 10 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions come from food wasted somewhere along its journey from farm to table. When that organic waste ends up in a landfill, it emits methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, as it slowly decomposes. Food banks can help prevent food waste from occurring by rescuing unsold food from grocers and retailers and redistributing it to families and…

Was your Mom like mine, when U were growing up? Mom would say, "Clean your plate; there are people in other parts of the world that are starving & would love to have your food."
Mom was right unfortunately
It's happening right in front of us too: In our neighborhoods & maybe; even w/us

#NorthDakota tribe goes back to its roots with a massive greenhouse operation
By The Associated Press
Published: Jul. 6, 2024 at 2:17 PM EDT
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — "A #NativeAmerican tribe in North Dakota will soon grow lettuce in a giant greenhouse complex that when fully completed will be among the country’s largest, enabling the tribe to grow much of its own food decades after a federal #dam flooded the land where they had cultivated corn, beans and other crops for millennia.
"Work is ongoing on the #Mandan, #Hidatsa and #Arikara Nation’s 3.3-acre greenhouse that will make up most of the #NativeGreenGrow operation’s initial phase. However, enough of the structure will be completed this summer to start growing leafy greens and other crops such as tomatoes and strawberries.
" 'We’re the first farmers of this land,' Tribal Chairman #MarkFox said. 'We once were part of an aboriginal trade center for thousands and thousands of years because we grew crops — corn, beans, squash, watermelons — all these things at massive levels, so all the tribes depended on us greatly as part of the aboriginal trade system.'
"The tribe will spend roughly $76 million on the initial phase, which also will include a warehouse and other facilities near the tiny town of Parshall. It plans to add to the growing space in the coming years, eventually totaling about 14.5 acres, which officials say would make it one of the world’s largest facilities of its type.
"The initial greenhouse will have enough glass to cover the equivalent of seven football fields.
"The tribe’s fertile land along the #MissouriRiver was inundated in the mid-1950s when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built the #GarrisonDam, which created #LakeSakakawea.
"Getting fresh produce has long been a challenge in the area of western North Dakota where the tribe is based, on the #FortBerthold Indian Reservation. The rolling, rugged landscape — split by Lake Sakakawea — is a long drive from the state’s biggest cities, Bismarck and Fargo.
"That isolation makes the greenhouses all the more important, as they will enable the tribe to provide food to the roughly 8,300 people on the Fort Berthold reservation and to reservations elsewhere. The tribe also hopes to stock #FoodBanks that serve isolated and impoverished areas in the region, and plans to export its produce.
"Initially, the #MHANation expects to grow nearly 2 million pounds of food a year and for that to eventually increase to 12 to 15 million pounds annually. Fox said the operation’s first phase will create 30 to 35 jobs.
"The effort coincides with a national move to increase #FoodSovereignty among tribes."

"Unlike Nigel Farage, I know what it's like growing up in a cost-of-living crisis," #Starmer said.
"I know what it's like when your family can't pay the bills, when you fear the postman, the bills that may be brought, and I know how much work we have to do."
A pity he's done bugger all to rectify that since he was elected.

Also here is an excellent link to help find #FoodPantries in all the states.
It’s great you choose your state from the drop-down, then it lists all the towns that have food banks. Then once you choose a town, at least in New Hampshire, there’s good detailed information about the criteria or documents they want you to bring, the hours they operate, and even how often you can visit them.

The survey of frontline #charities reveals 77% have witnessed a surge in people seeking #food in the past year, with an estimated 50,000 people unable to be supported every month by responding charities as services simply cannot keep up.”

To make amends for not rallying today, I've made donations to the food bank & bail fund.
Still find it really odd that there isn't anything in my county today, but I guess there is the assumption that everyone would prefer to schlep up to DC for it.
I still can't do crowds and right now, I absolutely should NOT be walking around with a stick. So, community care it is.

@LibraryJRP Imma say this hurts more than it helps. Way too many people simply can't afford this. Rents are approaching 60% of incomes, investors don't have anything reliable to invest in outside real estate, and the government with all the capital is crumbling from the top down.
Maybe #foodbanks could use this. Or maybe the food over-processors should just quit their jobs and head over to those foodbanks themselves.
