I am sure I have read stories that had permaculture or sustainability
aspects. I don't think there are many exclusively about this.
Do not forget that less than ten years ago it was completely impossible to
mention possible collapse in polite society.
As far as I can tell there is widespread interest in collapse, peak
<fill in the blank>, pollution (all categories) as a major contributing
factor, scarcity of clean water and nutritious, natural food and
population. I see it everywhere, YouTube, FaceBook, Google+, blogs,
lists, websites, forums, published literature in print and in digital
format, collaborative literature (Google docs, wikis, etc.) and most
other publically acceessable resources on the web. Its everywhere and in
every country. Notice the Burmese government stopped work on a Chinese
run dam/hydro project because it would displace many thousands of people
in its footprint and downstream; maybe we are having an effect. The
protests on Wall St. are certainly an example of grassroots
peaceful activism.
