Learning  to  live  within
our  ecological  and  economic  means,  or  failing  to, will  be  the  defining product of our time. Trends in global relations, resources, economics, social well being & the environment clearly call for dramatic changes in how we define our needs & how we take care of them.


Global market capitalism, as we know it, is not compatible with a green & peaceful culture, economy and planet.

The transformation to live within our economic and environmental means can take place in our homes, neighborhoods, streets and communities.
There are many allies & assets to work with, many examples to learn from & many benefits to be gained.  No permission or legislation needed to take action.
