There have been a few threads about how to prepare for serious changes due to economic downturns or reduced fossil fuel or major global upsets.
This lhttp://www.energybulletin.net/stories/2012-06-05/emergency-action-plan-new-zealanders-and-others link from New Zealand has some ideas to start a conversation that suggest practical moves in preparation. What I like is that it is not an end-of-the-world approach.
Quotes:
*reinforce community links
*foster the regeneration of land, water, air and living communities
*reorient education
*guarantee the supply and quality of food
*develop appropriate technology
*construct a stable (ecologically-based) economy
We offer this list as a starting point for considering what strategies will best meet the challenges ahead, and invite the input of all concerned people to an ongoing conversation.
