The only true wealth

I had a professor who once said that "the only true wealth is green plants" The movie shows how much toil it takes to grow them. And the family in this movie really toils. We moderns have it easy, but it's a false ease built on the global transport of petro-chemically fertilized food by pollution-producing fossil fuel systems. Imagine having to work...locally... to feed yourself and your family instead of hopping in an SUV to the local megamart. Modernity has created such an artificial, unsustainable way of life. When the oil is gone, food isn't going to found at the local supermart! The family in this film was a late-1950s Japanese famliy, but the storyline could have easily taken place at the dawn of agriculture. Watch this important film: Life may be like this for our grandchildren if steps aren't taken to start widespread efficient local food production.
