Updated - March 5
I am making good progress on my book, "A Primer For Paradigm Shift" but have taken a big tangent to write an essay and now on YouTube an illustrated essay describing this exciting convergence between the Planning Goals and Paradigm Shift. I was stunned when I read the Goals on the City website - the Primer is a perfect fit for addressing the Goals - affordable housing, sustainability, climate change, community building. This essay is about creating an unprecedented partnership between the City and the Community. The title - City Planning Goals and Paradigm Shift.
The text essay is now on my website, Here's the link.
The essay with audio, fotos and graphics is now on YouTube, Here's the link.

Learning to live within our ecological and economic boundaries, 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.
Capitalism, as we know it, is not compatible with a green & peaceful culture, economy and planet. There are other choices to be made. The content and links found on this website describe a wide range of allies, assets and actions for creating a preferred future, from home scale to neighborhood and beyond.
The transformation to live within our economic & environmental boundaries can take place in our homes, neighborhoods, streets and communities. Paradigm shift is now. There are many allies & assets to work with, many examples to learn from & many benefits to be gained. No permission or legislation needed.
