We should create a new kind of stimulus package.  This package will include jobs and funding, to restore old run-down properties, hillsides, roadsides, and front yards to highly producitve organic forest gardens,  that require no effort to maintain.    Reduce carbon in the atmosphere by planting forests of food.   All plant matter is made up primarily of carbon, thus more carbon shaped as plants, less in the atmophere.  Plants starts, seeds, and trees are cheep.  Many people know permiculture and forest gardens extensively.      This creates jobs.  This is the time to start planting.  It can be started now and create jobs now.  This will also have a positive affect on the nation long term.

I see this easily creating jobs, and help many people that could possibly not have access to food now, not to mention these uncertain times.   A one time planting, and virturally no matainance we could have mountains of fresh food growing everywhere.    This could difuse civil unrest.  Historically hungry people cause riots.   This is an easy way to ensure food for our nation, and arround the world.   If everyone has a house to live in a food; People will then be able to handle these chalangeing times.

This will also be the example of how to eat healthly, farming for ganerations to come.  The peace corps could take these ideas and go arround the world provideing a way for everyeone to grow their own abundance of food.
