Urban vs. Rural Sustainability
by Toby Hemenway
We have the technical means to feed, clothe, and house all humanity.
But legions starve because we have not learned to tolerate and support
one another. People’s real problems are not technical, they are
social and political.

Retrofitting the suburbs for sustainability
by David Holmgren

David Holmgren, one of the co-originators of the permaculture
concept has written a book called Permaculture: Principles and Pathways
Beyond Sustainability which deals explicitly with the peak oil problem.
Permaculture principles work towards re-designing cultural and agricultural
practices for an energy descent world. By doing a course locally or with
a bit of study, you can start applying permaculture principles on a suburban
or rural plot.
