Splitting the focus.....

For over 30 years I have been interested in Alternatives, be it an Alt. Economy, Alt. Building or Alt. Societies.

Therefore this blog will shortly be split into separate areas. So far the focus has been primarily on alerting people to what is coming, but as I’ve mentioned before, the time is now here to see beyond that, and work on self-help options to get through the transition stage with as much grace & ease as possible.

The more I see – the more I realize that we need a wholistic approach….. one that encompasses all things.

For example, building an energy-efficient home is not only more rewarding – but also more sustainable. So it is a small piece of helping the planet, rather than the current disregard for our stewardship of this beautiful, but finite place we all live in. It is no longer necessary to impose our will on the landscape, but rather to work WITH Nature to benefit us all.

Let’s get rid of the notion once and for all that we can have constant economic growth on a “spaceship” of finite resources.

So, I’ll start with a sub-blog about Alt. Building. Might even be more appropriate to call it Alt. Dwelling, because there are some exciting new areas that don’t actually involve “building” – such as the new generation of container homes. Or the movement to Tiny Homes.

Things are changing fast out there!!

The sooner the better!!
