Grow something! Ron Finley at TEDxMidwest

[@dephluoils8740]

Gardening is so therapeutic! I love that we are changing the narrative from forced to choice. Earthing in a pace that is unique to the individual is so healing.

[@4namolly]

His Masterclass is the best

"growing your own food is like printing your own money" totally agree :)

100% I grew 47 bell pepper plants from 2 bell peppers seeds. Only about 30 of them made it but still ive had bell peppers for a while now and they can go from 50 cents to 1 dollar at the store each.

[@Kymboe13]

Planted tomato, lettuce, kale, chilli, passionfruit, avocado, sage, basil, coriander, lavender, parsley to start in my front yard, so when they are big enough my neighbours can benefit too. This is just a start, thanks to you

[@sw8415]

What will you do with the lavender, Kym?

[@Kymboe13]

@@sw8415 make some lavender tea or some little bags for under my pillow to help me sleep.

[@GreaterGood2024]

You must also try to plant Tamil vegetables from India like vendika, avarakka & katrika. Very nutritious 😊

[@shibba24]

I'm just grateful that another brother than myself understands n shares the message PEOPLE are the commodity people are the value it's in the people

[@user-pm7ck6ij9s]

Stunning and powerful sir - thank you for your work. I grow my own food too and share it far and wide!

My my my this is Powerful

[@mknewstub]

I like the story about the kid who had the moment with you about the sunflower because it captures the power of what you started. Also repurposing vacant lots is a form of OCCUPYING. I will bet it makes a significant contribution to community safety!

[@deelee1568]

OMG MORE PEOPLE NEED TO SEE THIS VIDEO!!

[@IfeNaima]

Powerful presentation. Truth spoken!!!

[@ritasimmons6964]

Brilliant!!

Can’t wait to plant my squash babies tomorrow morning! God bless you and Thank You for your guidance!!!

[@Swordsmyth]

All we have to do as individuals is stop feeding the "beast system" and it will starve and rot away. Spend your time everyday doing positive things and don't fall into the fear paradigm that they want you trapped in. Your mind is the prison and you have the key to unlock the door. Peace and blessings....

MY HERO!

[@mssmith3595]

Ron is speaking truth !

[@whisperingsage]

Cool, and in LA he can grow year round. I'm stuck in the snow country, so we have to use greenhouses and cold frames. But it's worth it.

[@bethotoole6569]

[@conormacgillycuddy8300]

austin ferris too true 😔 the sad reality is that it's so true living in South central it's sad to see our people struggle to eat healthy

[@austinferris5515]

Conor MacGillycuddy ikr the truth is we need this to help us see the truth in that the truth is to get rid of obesity the truth tells us to plant our own plants and grow our own food and that's the only truth the people in south central need to hear

[@passiton3801]

9:27 Sounds like he says "and it's subversive"? Take the power back people.

[@101mylo]

Lol wow only 28k views on something so informative

[@louisfiorina7497]

The original one has over 1 million! Needs about 200 million though that's a damn shame

[@6ftS]

He is doing amazing work. He should be told that food doesnt grow all over the world. Some places simply does not have good soil, enough water or enough sunlight. Nice fantasy though... thinking that his city plan will succeed all over the world. In reality it wont. Still, I tip my hat at this man. he is a visionary...

[@lawyer-562]

Lack of soil is not what prevents food growth. Small minds at the helm that are unable to be innovative definitely ensures that food doesn't grow. We have too many tools at our disposal to even remotely consider such pessimistic views that you wrote but your point was taken. Thanks!

[@harriettpavonrosado5175]

Food grows were people live. WE need the same thing. You must be taught how to be creative.

[@neish9520]

Wow. Your mind seems exceedingly small. Expand it some. You’ll find that our world and tha people in it, AND tha land, is capable and abundant. How YOU think, is what they want us to think. I REFUSE!😑

[@kellyhendrix7613]

Meh

[@AmishHitman73.Archive]

14:35 pause it. Sleeping? lol And a bored man lol
