In the atrium of Tolosaldea they have conducted a nice interview with the bertsolari of Berastegi Andres Etxeberria Iztueta, who has shared a great deal of sweet and raw subjects. The journalist asks the Shepherd and Craft Suit: “What has made you reflect this situation?” and in his answer “we have believed that we live in this world elegantly, that we would live without the possibility of going back or worsening things... The economic problem comes and we have built a society that doesn't want to work in the primary sector. Will we return to earth work in this situation, settle down, leaving these ghostly situations? Will we come a little further down, one step back? This is my reflection.”

Bill Mollison, one of the founders of permaculture, has just told us how to prepare and train us for destruction after the collapse of next capitalism. He has given some advice for each of us to implement them as soon as possible. Let's see.

Start working the land, in addition to the vegetable garden, basic crops (maize, wheat, etc.) and trees (fruit trees, timber trees...).

Join with land. If it's not yours, that of a relative, neighbor. Be part of the cultivation of the land; spend more time on the land than in the city: sowing, planting, building, reviving the waste, completing nature...

Practical skills development: kitchen, carpentry, sewing, equipment repair, etc. And share that knowledge.

Find a mutual support group to take care of yourself and meet basic needs: natural hygiene products, medicinal plants, food processing.

Facilitate life by recovering time and space. Become aware of everything you can do without money: exercises, crafts, socialization, gardening...

Moving away from the logic of consuming more and more. Prioritise quality artisanal products and those produced by small producers. Promote exchange and reward affective value.

Take care of the indigenous seeds.
