Interesting Article From Adbusters:

CREATE YOUR OWN MEANING:
The unfortunate truth is that our home is in trouble, and each generation needs to work harder than the last to stop things from getting worse. But people are stubborn, and dont always respond to words. Often, the best way to change someones behavior is to offer a better alternative, to show everyone what exactly they're missing. It's another way to create meaning for yourself and the people around you.

SEED BOMBS
Mix together a big handful of organic compost with a palm sized heap of native wildflower and vegetable seeds. Then add two big handfuls of dry terracotta (red) clay that's been sifted to remove any chunks. Sprinkle the mixture with just enough water so that it all binds together. Take a pinch of the paste and roll it into penny sized balls, then put them into the sun to dry for a day or two.
Once your seed bombs are ready, look for neglected and derelict patches of dirt that nobody seems to care about. Throw the bombs. Wait for rain.
In a few weeks your seed bombs will help nature get a foothold again, and in return, you'll get a clear reminder of how your actions can directly change the world for the better. The problems may be huge, but it's little projects like this that get the ball rolling.

I really want to do that now...
