"Problems Create Opportunities
A new report from the United Nations offers a wake-up call. It's
time to turn things around. By making major investments in solar
power, green chemistry, and clean production, the U.S. could create
whole new industries and large numbers of new jobs. Most importantly,
we could reclaim our standing as a beneficent giant, a global leader
in ideas, research, and manufacturing. What are we waiting for?"

True, that really is it, part of it that is. The rest if for us to do
individually, needlessly to say. Stay at or near home, grow your own food,
create and maintain a low energy footprint,
a scrupulously clean environmental one, recycle and don't pollute, seek
alternatives, build community and network them.

Would be interesting to virtually design the ideal urban and suburban permaculture homestead (what other homesteads are there, anyway?).

rainwater and household water recycling, purification, storage and reuse
household food production systems, neighborhood ones too
small energy efficient homes and outbuildings
small well-designed household landscapes and ornamental gardens
