We are preparing for a changing world...
The era of cheap energy that has made our whole affluent society possible is rapidly ending. Simultaneously climate change threatens shortages of water and food, escalating natural disasters, and rapid sea level rise.
Small-scale sustainable organic farming and self sufficiency is the only real hope for weathering the changes ahead. Better to consciously prepare for it now than have it forced upon us later!
Why?
Because social indicators prove that conspicuous consumption has not delivered on its promise of greater happiness. Though rarely acknowledged, materialism is also the basic cause of global warming and our degrading natural environment.
So, regardless of how the future unfolds... families downshifting to sustainable living can reap a more authentic happiness with superior lifestyle, health, nutrition, social enjoyment, and security, while doing their bit to heal our ravaged planet.
