Pitch
People love to learn. Give gardening lessons from govt and in offices and neighborhoods to get people started going back to nature.
Description
Summary
People need less modern society, and gardening lessons inserted into modern life could be the next step between yoga classes we have now, and carbon free nature societies of the future.
Going back to the land is the next step for humans. We don't need video games and money to make us happy. But ordinary people no longer have labor skills like organic gardening and housebuilding.
The new tech education is LOW TECH AND LABOR!

Not sure

Impact/Benefits
What impact will these actions have on greenhouse gas emissions and/or adapting to climate change?
Enormous savings in food transportation, packaging and maybe govt subsidies if people grow their own food.
Decoupling of people from money for survival.
This is also a gateway exercise for new human self sufficiency and back to the land programs that could also include green and low tech house building and design.
What are other key benefits?
I don't think people are well designed to spend their lives sedentary and inside and at a computer being yelled at by a boss to make money and status for t things and people they hate.
Humans can get healthier through more interaction with nature and exercise.

Initial low investment of building gardens and hiring gardening teachers.
