Are you convinced that life as it has been known to us for all of our lives is quickly coming to an end? Are you obsessed about our unfolding dire awareness of Abrupt Climate Change? Are you obsessed with energy scarcity? Are you a regular reader of the Energy Bulletin? Are you convinced that we urbanites need to at least have access to some form of rural farmland, to where we can strive to provide ourselves with most of our basic necessities? Yet, you are unable to afford to relocate……for any number of reasons. Are you collectively minded? Are you finding yourself ever more alienated from friends and family, because the severity of collapse is just too much for them to handle? Have read several of the posting on this website (forming groups) and are thinking to yourself “....if I hear the word “community”, one more time, I’m either going to cry or scream..." Yet, you still want to be involved in a community, but not with a bunch of hothouse flowers that will wilt at the smell of bacon, coffee and tobacco? Nevertheless, you do understand the necessity and value of living sustainably and desire to associate with others who might be thinking the same thing. Of course we all desire to live rich, creative and fulfilling lives, but given our ever mounting civilized catastrophe, we simply must refocus our priorities away from our cultural subjective relative perspectives, and start concentrating on the nature of objective reality.If this is you (probably all three of you out there), then drop us a line, and let’s at least commiserate and see where it takes us. All the best, Daniel. thenewalb@hotmail.com
