So often I find that people's first reaction to the news of Peak Oil is a desire for their own vegetable plot and the skills to grow their own food. Mostly what stands in the way is a lack of access to land. From what I have heared, local councils are obliged by law to provide allotments when requested to do so. Yet everywhere there seems to be long waiting lists and not a lot of effort by the authorities to honour their obligations. I would like to find out if anybody anywhere has taken their local authorities to court over this? Wonderfully, inspiring and uplifting bit of movie.
