(4,442 posts)I will be reinstalling my solar panels on the roof, raising our wind turbine, collecting rainwater, canning food, building an earth bermed greenhouse, raising chickens... loving my family, preparing them and talking to other people about the importance of change. Don't mock the small village idea, to some of us that is like heaven on earth. I won't suggest that the villages need to be low tech, but they certainly will be in nobody gets really moving on that alternative power issue
It would be nice if you could invest some of that "can-do" into creating better alternative energy sources or learning improved ways to grow food in an altered environment or helping to create housing that could withstand any changes and still provide a safe, easily warmed and cooled environment.
Investing energy to LIVE within the changes instead of chasing the tail end trying to stop what is already happening seems a more efficient use of time but i realize not everyone is there. Let me introduce you to the stages of grief.
Denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.
You are mistaken to view me as self condemned. I think life if awe inspiring and beautiful and i think the way to maintain it as long as possible is to ADAPT.
