I agreed to speak at this virtual summit when I saw they're also giving the floor to Indigenous land managers who have been practicing Permaculture concepts and more on this continent, all with the intent to care for the Earth and the humans on it, for at least 40,000 years if you believe the latest archeological discoveries. That approach of honoring others won me over.

Looking forward to being able to go back and listen to everyone's talks and the breakout discussions after the event's done. Pretty interesting topics.

They need help spreading the word that this is happening. Share away!

What would life be like if we didn't "go to the store" for everything that we needed?  Where would we get our supplies?  How would we get through the day?  And what if we didn't have a car or public transportation to get us where we needed to go?

 

Imagining what life will be like on diminishing supplies of fossil fuels and other resources seems pretty unimaginable.  Most of us in this country are completely dependent on fossil fuels to live and even survive.

 

Author Richard Heinberg has been studying this predicament for decades, and he says that things are about to get real. During our event on November 12 on Redesigning Our Communities for Life After Fossil Fuels, he's going to talk about the need to start rationing, among other things. Rationing energy, rationing food.  And this is soon, not at some point off in the distance.

 

How can the ecosystem restoration approaches that we've been sharing at Bio4Climate help us to set up our neighborhoods so that we can source what we need locally as global supplies diminish?  How can we prepare and where do we begin?  Who are the experts that can guide us as we figure out how to proceed?

 

Join us on Saturday, November 12.  Let's learn from these innovative trailblazers, including people on the front lines, who are willing to share their strategies and lessons learned so far, as we embark on this transition together.
