It’s the time of year those of us who’ve attempted to garden, or stick solely to local fare, realize if we don’t eat wheelbarrow loads of one kind of veggie for a week at a time, it goes to waste quickly, and then we won’t see the same variety until next year at the same time.
Thankfully a variety of ways exist to preserve the harvest so we can enjoy our hard work throughout the year.

I have long wondered about several things:
The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as our main economic indicator,
The expectation of continuous growth (not possible on a limited planet),
The astounding inequality in wealth, and
The ability of banks to create money by making loans.
