Thinking aloud: Has anyone considered going into business?
When my aunt moved into what was a rather posh but (then) rural area in Singapore, I was fascinated by the mobile shop that came once or twice a week, or it could even be daily, I don't remember.
The guy tooted his horn and residents came out to buy fresh fruit and vegetables, eggs, even dry goods, etc. All the 'essentials' basically. A man came round in the evening on his bicycle selling bread. When people didn't all drive cars or didn't want to drive cars, these were welcome services. One mobile shop supplying many households in a large-ish area would surely mean cutting down on carbon emissions?
With the internet these days, food can be ordered ahead to cut down on wastage. What is needed is a co-ordinating centre, really, and people could sell surplus vege, etc in the local area, or slightly further afield.
Or am I in cloud cuckoo land? again?
but because she was right, I had bought a can of economy peeled plum tomatoes and she said that is goes against everything that I stand for, it means poor pay for farmers, probally GM, definetly not organic and could be flown from the other side of the world.
