The PRIMER - a "how to" for advocating paradigm shift - why, how, where, complete with real life examples of people already creating alternatives.  The more people creating healthy and positive alternatives to capitalism and the consumer culture the better.
Parts 1 and 2 of the Primer are now on youtube.  Links >     Part 1       Part 2    Part 3


Find links to narrated slide shows of Jan's 3 months in Europe on you tube, that show & tell pushing back on cars, permaculture in Sardegna, bike riding & public places in Europe.

Zoom Presentation - Permaculture - Many Applications, Many Benefits,  Now on line. This presentation is a critical look at capitalism thru a permaculture lens & explores the idea of what might an economic system look like if guided by permaculture principles.

Thirty minute video tour of my place - shows what a more resilient suburban property can look like as it produces significant amounts of food, energy, water and aesthetics on site.

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. 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.
