In a biological system, which the earth is, perpetual growth is cancer
and kills the organism. Earth is just a really, really big organism
and therefore will take longer to kill than most. We seem to be making
every effort to get there.

Has anyone read a book (from the 50's and revised in the early 70's)
called "Your Engineered House" by Rex Roberts? He takes a very
functional/practical approach to house layout. For example:
Situation: You just arrived from the grocery store, have both muddy
boots and two arms full of heavy bags. How should the house make life
easy for you?
Response: The car should be under a car port, doors should open IN
with latches you can work with one finger or a knee, you go through
the mud room first, with places to put some things down, then you get
to the kitchen where most of the stuff will end up. Oh, and there is
one step up maximum from the car to the kitchen.
