"Making our local communities better, healthier, safer, and more social is “big picture stuff” too"
A really thoughtful and insightful commentary by Emmet Ó Briain who talks about the need to "broaden the scope of our conversations and the scale of our vision for sustainable social environments beyond mere movement".

Ok, I appreciate that perspective. Either way, the approach is the same -- build sustainability and the capacity of regeneration at the community level. That's where policy meets the individual. That's where production happens, and production is the game no matter what else. So... accomplishing that goal serves both of these representational models of the future. Heck yeah.

Controlled-environment survival scenarios are farce. All that tech requires huge investment, available technology, tools and energy, people, lots of people but it can't reliably produce food without LOTS of chemicals. Nope. More fantasy and hopium. #LifestyleChange #SustainableLifestyle #DeepConservation #SustainableCommunities #ResilientCommunities #TransitionTowns #MutualAid #CareForEarth #permaculture

@BrentToderian Imagine a sustainable, empathetic society. Currently, it's about "the turning away." The turning away from vulnerable people. The turning away from our own natures (towards alienation). The turning away from our living planet.

A big payoff for adopting designed sustainable communities is the aesthetics. Having lived austerely for decades now I can attest that the aesthetic pay-off offsets the austerity with an ethical (fuzzy warms) pay-off. Either way, status quo is killing the planet and us.
