		<description>Constant lurker, infrequent commenter.  Just a note to say I'm glad to find your new blog.  I'm a big fan.  Another friendternet's post about commenting protocol made me think of your blog, in that I rarely contribute here because you always seem to talk such good sense, and, as someone above mentioned, you seem to practice what you preach.  I kind of feel like my efforts to emulate you in small ways are just that, small, and my thoughts on your topics much less developed or informed.  So I really can't add anything, but I continue to read with great interest.</description>

		<description>Glad to see the new site! I've poked around and had fun doing so.

Since I'm not so good at seeing the future, I'm thankfull for whatever site you put together to help me understand the situation at hand.

It's all good. Thanks!

		<description>Hi Sharon,  I have always enjoyed reading your posts on ROE2 and am glad I have finally found your blog a few weeks ago or whenever you started Depletion &#38; Abundance.  What you say is worth reading because of how well you write, because of your real-life experience of putting into action a lot of what you say, and I believe in your firm belief that a great solution is if all of us start to garden.  I'm on my way now to trying to repeat Pat Meadow's success with SWCs, and I hope to be able to bring to light your strong recommendations of suburban gardening to as many people as I can.  I'm looking forward to reading you here and at ROE2.</description>

		<description>Your new website looks great and seems more readable to me - although I certainly pored through the old "underwhelming" one regularly.  We're just put tomatoes in the ground here (seeded them in early January). But don't be envious.  We pay dearly for our beautiful spring weather when the heat, humidity, mold, mildew (and lately a lot of hurricanes) overwhelm our garden - and just about everything else - during July, August, September (and lately October...).  Thanks again, Sharon for the encouragement, knowledge, and good sense you send out there. I'm learning a lot.</description>

2. Sharon writes about climate change- it becomes an imminent crisis threatening our very survival!
3. Sharon writes about our financial system- now we are in the start of the greatest depression the world has ever known!
4. Sharon writes about food shortages- millions of Americans are at risk of hunger and malnutrition!
