permaculture

["Earth Passengers" <earthpassengers@hotmail.com>]

Hi everyone,

The following is an article submission request from Adbusters magazine. An 
opportunity for creative writers to spread ideas/actions about permaculture, 
self-reliance, sustainable living, visions for the future.... to people who 
might otherwise not be exposed to such ideas.

Meng Lei



Jammers,

Please join us in a crazy, yet profound, journey into a radical new future.

Imagine this... you wake up tomorrow morning and find out that the Dow Jones 
has just plunged 2,000 points. Trading has been halted. Over the next few 
weeks:

* Major stock markets around the world crash
* Banks close
* Supermarket shelves are half-empty
* Power is intermittent, gasoline hard to find, email sporadic

Violent gangs and bandits roam the streets. People move to the country - if 
they can. Governments try to maintain order, yet it appears that the old 
globalized order is gone, if not forever, then for a long, long time.

Six months later, you hear that Adbusters is working on a post-crash issue. 
We are sending out word that we can see a positive trend in what happened: 
innovative survival strategies are emerging, along with thriving local 
economic systems; borders are being redrawn on bioregional lines. We have a 
chance to create the new world that we've always dreamed about.

Can you take a mental trip into this strange future? Can you imagine what 
life would be like? Where did you end up? How did you survive? What are you 
doing now? Send us a lament, a vision, a poem, something mystical. What are 
the best post-crash jokes going around? What have you seen or heard in your 
neighborhood?

Or send us a how-to tip. How do you cook, clean your teeth, keep your 
computer running? How do you kill a chicken?

No more than 250 words please: be creative and be authentic. The next issue 
will be a compilation of the best stories sent in, and each published 
contribution will receive three brand new Adbusters 2005 calendars.
