What we have accomplished and the freedom we have gained was by way of manageable stages, along with incremental steps, because there is no quick fix. Path to Freedom has taken the vanguard position in order to incite change and to be an example of the possibilities. Today, more and more green options are widely available for the average person. Because not everyone can employ all these extreme measures at once, the question narrows down to: What can you do, where you are, with what you have, right now?

I call it Path to Freedom because I know growing my own food and becoming self-sufficient is not a one-time action. Nor is it a broad, easy, paved way. It is narrow, rocky, sometimes hard to find, and I must navigate around obstacles. It is a winding path, and I cannot always see the way ahead. [...] It is also freedom from prejudice, preconceptions, and the status quo. It is freedom to break out, to grow, to improve. It is the freedom to get daily bread from, to admit dependency on, and to become a student of nature.
