These ads were originally designed and tested to find interested parties to team up in Los Angeles, CA, on the Westside of town (Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Malibu, etc...)
They are all perfectly valid, and if you are local, you can still answer the original ads, as in fact the email addresses are (currently 09/01/08) usable.
Besides their stated goals – Teaming Up, Barter, etc – the spirit of these ads is to share important information and data with the reader, as well as of course, getting the results sought.
They were published here to allow you to copy them so to team up with people locally. So, if you want to use them as is to launch something locally, you are very welcome to do so, as long as you make no changes to the ad, including the copyright notice and license (except of course the reference to the local Los Angeles location and CraigsList Ad number).
They are each given a ComAd ( = Community Ad) number starting with 01.
So far the following ads are being republished here, after real-life testing:
ComAd01 - Health & Youthfulness - Yours just for the asking
This ad emphasizes one of the aspects of eating right, and mainly locally-produced fresh foods (and, in this case, as much raw as possible): Focusing on the effect this can have not only on overall health, but also on one's physical appearance. Eating right, for example, leads naturally to weight regulation, that is, you gain weight in you are too thin (a rare case), or (more likely), you loose weight if you are overweight. The effect on skin appearance can be as dramatic.
ComAd02 – Master Gardening Skills for hire or for free
This ad offers Master Gardening skills, or on a consultant or contractor basis, or in a barter arrangement. In this specific case, someone who does not have his or her own land is ready to create a shared garden at no costs to the property owner, as long as the production of the garden is shared. This is fairly similar to standard crop-sharing deals in the agricultural world.
Even more interestingly, this ad refers to Pr Dr Otto Warburg, the only physician to ever get two Nobel Prizes, who was the object of discreet jokes in the local medical community, because he practically refused to eat anything that was not grown in his own “potager” (produce garden), or the garden of someone he personally knew and trusted. At a time where at one leading medical university, nutrition was given ONE hour, total, in the entire curriculum. The ad explains why Dr Warburg felt like he did.
ComAd03 - LAND WANTED FOR ORGANIC VEGGIES
This ad offers some barter land for veggies, that is, a crop-sharing arrangement, and explains why Organic and Sustainable Agriculture is important.
ComAd04 - ORGANIC FOODS AT NO COSTS
This is another variation of a barter / crop-sharing ad. The data in this one focuses on the issue of *why* eating right is so important: We are what we eat.
ComAd05 - You HAVE LAND, pref with barn or structure? - GET FREE VEGGIES & FRUIT!
Another barter / crop sharing ad, also offering consultancy. The data in this focuses again on why eating right is important and on Dr Warburg's input.
