Wow! What a disappointment. Does it always happen that way? It seems so,
increasing year by year
the sidelining of local, people-designed, people-built natural systems (all
kinds of them) that serve people well. Solution: design, build and use
systems paid for my communities and maintain complete control of the. Oh,
yes, then they get out the rules and regulations and throw obstacles
in the way of achieving any kind of permanence with the systems people
need: sewage, production, storage, processing, preparing and serving of
food,
renewable energy systems serving individuals and neighborhood and efforts
to educate people to go for simple, direct systems that work and keep
working,
live frugally, don;t waste, recycle and reuse. Build a business community
and keep profits cycling within local economies. I could go on for a
thousand pages with possibilities
and solutions. You have to change things on the ground and do it locally.
