PERMATOPIA a graceful end to cheap oil

Permatopia highlights solutions to Peak Oil, Climate Change and ecocide.

The companion website OilEmpire.US is focused on understanding the politics behind these problems that prevent implementation of the solutions.

Road-Scholar.org examines the rush to massively expand highway systems as the world passes Peak Oil, and offers some tools to thwart these plans.

 

Intentional and Unintentional Communities

Last year we launched an ambitious experimental project called In My Village (link here soon) which grew quickly to 380 people then as quickly disintegrated. We learned some powerful lessons. The most significant was that we can't build community! We discovered that we can form small circles of people who learn to love and trust each other. And if these circles get to know, love and trust each other we discover it feels like community. I've come to call these circles archetypal family unity. They are the basis of community, historically and everywhere.
