RE: "Somebody should do something!"... Be 'somebody'.
Also, you'll want to look into the following folks for permaculturey stuff:
@riverflows, @rawutah, @goldenoakfarm, @buckaroo, @craigcryptoking, @lucas.iao, @freedompoint, @mariannewest, @papa-pepper, @mountainjewel, @makinstuff, @sagescrub, and @gardeningchannel.
Seems like a lot right now, but once you get the hang of things around here it'll barely scratch the surface.
Down the road, some services on steem that'll really help your experience are @ginabot, a steem notification service on discord, @steembasicincome, a share-based lifetime upvote service, and @dustsweeper, an upvote service that'll help make sure you don't miss out on low-income comments.
Hope this helps! I look forward to seeing more from you as you get the hang of it. Hang in there. It's kinda a lot to learn at the start, but you'll figure it out :) you're in the right spot!
Thanks for the links, tips and encouragement.
I've followed some of those you've mentioned and will look into the services and see if I can wrap my head around them. It's like a different language and I have never been very good at those 😄
You'll get the hang of it. Always something to learn, and we're all new here.
