the humanure handbook
2008-03-01 08:03:29
The flush toilet is probably one of the stupidest ideas that civilisation has ever come up with. Instead of a valuable resource, human waste is now deemed a ‘waste product’ It is mixed with drinking water, pumped down long pipes to a treatment works, in the process getting mixed up with all kinds of contaminants (toilet paper, cleaning ‘products’, industrial waste etc), and then has to be cleaned.

permaculture 101
2008-02-23 15:32:34
Permaculture - originally derived from permanent agriculture, but maybe a better interpretation is permanent culture - will no doubt be an important solution for for many of the survivors of the mess humanity now finds itself in. Local communities providing their needs in harmony with and observant of the local habitat. The empire’s economic system [...]


if it wasn’t them it would be someone else
2008-02-23 15:13:08
This system is heirarchical. Imagine it as a pyramid. Those higher up have more power and wealth. Selfishness and greed is rewarded with more power and wealth. The better someone is at turning the world into resources, and other people into slaves, the higher up the ladder they can move. By its very nature this [...]

saving seed
2008-03-15 13:16:30
Clifton Middleton tells us about saving tomato seeds. To grow something and not save it’s seed is a missed opportunity to fully engage in the cycle of life.

back yard sustainability
2008-03-15 11:59:04
Intensive gardening for renters. You dont have to buy a smallholding to  provide some of your food needs. Peak Oil, climate change and the general endgame of civilisation is going to push us into a style of living that is actually far far better for us than the wage slave reality that we are forced to live now.

the end of suburbia
2008-04-09 12:53:35
Since World War II North Americans have invested much of their newfound wealth in suburbia. It has promised a sense of space, affordability, family life and upward mobility. As the population of suburban sprawl has exploded in the past 50 years, so too has the suburban way of life become embedded in the American consciousness. Suburbia, [...]
