You may want to look deeper into what that 'weird'ness really is speaking out against. We are all part of the change for a better and more responsible place to live and to cultivate habits related to waste and decreasing our carbon footprint and the betterment of future generations.

This is Rob Greenfield interviewing Ron Finley. Rob Greenfield is an amazing person who is creating change and awareness throughout the whole world so if you check out his channel you'll see he's not weird at all he's actually one of the most lovely people. He is wearing a trash suit for 30 days to help bring awareness to how much were polluting and throwing away that goes to the landfills.

I think you missed a real opportunity to understand the message that Rob Greenfield is trying to send out to the world. He is not being weird, he's illustrating a point and highlighting the damage done to our environment by plastics and how the food we buy and things we consume have an impact on our soil and water - especially the plastic packaging!

Love Ron, I took his MasterClass on how to garden a few month ago and that helped me a lot as a beginner gardener to believe and trust that it‘s going to grow if I take that first step of just planting🙂 Great to see you both💚

Hello Rob, I draw a lot of inspiration from you, I have watched many of your videos and learnt a lot. I do container and sack gardening and also recycle bottles. I try to be self sufficient at something, sometimes just leafy greens. Indeed gardening is freedom and sexy .Much love from Uganda.

Love the inspiration. I’m fairly new to gardening but loving it. I succeeded with some very old beefsteak tomatoes seeds and got so many I was able to give some to neighbors. I planted them a little late for sw fl, but just 2 plants gave me about 50 lovely tomatoes. Had to pick them green but they ripened beautifully on the counter. And they were so good! Nothing like what I’ve gotten in the stores! Just planted some okra, squash and 2 other small varieties of tomatoes. I’ve also got some onions going and some potatoes! It’s so rewarding!

figure out which weeds are edible near you and expand from there. efo shoko (a hot weather spinach substitute) is a beautiful seed to just throw somewhere and let go.

From a quick google search: Handle peach, nectarine and apricot seeds carefully, because they contain the poison cyanide. Wear gloves, and wash your hands after handling the seeds. Wrap each peach pit in a damp paper towel, and place it into an individual plastic bag, one pit per bag. Place the bagged pits in a refrigerator, not a freezer, for eight weeks. Remove the pits from the cold and let them sprout in the bag. Once sprouted, pot the seedlings or plant them directly into the ground.
