Email SomethingDifferentThisWayComes@proton.me:
- your experiences of how our food &/or money systems are actually working, &/or
- your understanding of how that came to be how our system works (context), &/or
- your tips for how to manage that challenge right now (before things change) &/or
- your ideas on what change we should seek: What Good Looks Like and why!
Record yourself audio or video on your phone, 2-3 minutes should be plenty - if you can! Or just write me your thoughts.
I will listen / watch / read everything, promise! And if I think it's a fit for an episode, I will be so glad to include it.
I might edit for length and clarity, but I won't change a word.
Thank you for listening, and for making this not just a rant but instead a conversation!
