Surviving economic collapse

11/14/2012

Getting back to basics. This was an excellent program by "Foreign Correspondent" on how some Greek people are dealing with the economic collapse, resulting in high unemployment and with only low social security payments that are to be cut further including pensions. Not to mention if you are out of work, you only have 1 year to get a job before your benefits are cut.

"So you’re a city banker, you’re in your 50's and suddenly the floor drops from under your feet. A national economic collapse has taken your job and has dramatically narrowed any prospect of you getting another one. Your savings are evaporating fast, city costs are biting and social security offer not much more than $80 Euros a week and even then you’ll have to meet a strict raft of conditions."

Thessaloniki banker Kostas Bozos went back to basics. He returned to his family village for an education in farming from his ageing father and then on to a local agricultural college to finesse those skills into winemaking and marketing.

    I started making soap as I have sensitive skin and so did many people around me. I wanted to make a product that was natural, gentle, affordable, sustainable and made locally.  I value health, fairness, truth and our environment.
