Anonymous said...: So plainly and simply explained that even a child could understand. Sadly most of the western world seems to be in complete denial......; 8 October 2009 at 15:52

Anonymous said...: I find the most common responses to any mention of Peak Oil are "they will find more oil, there's more to be found" or "they will make fuel from crops". Little awareness of oil being a finite resource, little awareness that turning over fields to biofuels will result in starvation and escalate climate change, little awareness that even if there is still oil in the ground then it will become ridiculously expensive to extract. I am worried for my kids' future (and my own!) and cannot understand why so few people seem oblivious to the reality that awaits us.; 9 October 2009 at 07:39

C Robb said...: Is there a transition initiative in your area? If not perhaps you might want to look at getting one started. I'm convinced it is one viable way forward, after all we MUST find a sensible way forward.; 9 October 2009 at 09:52
Anonymous said...: I shall do some research...... Like many I am trying to do little bits here and there to become greener and live a more sustainable lifestyle but, as I highlight on my blog (a couple of posts back) I fail the test. I know I need to make major changes to my lifestyle and blogs like yours are very helpful - thank you.; 9 October 2009 at 12:02
C Robb said...: We all have work to do, but even the smallest step towards sustainability is a step in the right direction. What is important is that we take that next step, and the next, and the next.......
Everyone's journey is different. Once you have taken that first step you are not failing.; 9 October 2009 at 12:18

I am married, have no kids, a dog walker, a student of the science and technology of sustainability. I've completed an MSC in advanced environmental studies and energy. I've lived off grid on a small sailboat in Bermuda. I've been a teacher, a theatre technician, a carpenter, a drifter. My wife and I have the intent of once again going off grid, pursuing a permaculture based lifestyle and developing a community education program about the process. This blog is the record of that process and disparate items of interest as well.
