The Handbook of Sustainability Literacy ? Skills for a Changing World

In this ground-breaking book, leading sustainability educators are joined by
literary critics, permaculturalists, ecologists, artists, journalists,
engineers, mathematicians and philosophers in a deep reflection on the
skills people need to survive and thrive in the challenging conditions of
the 21st century. Responding to the threats of climate change, peak oil,
resource depletion, economic uncertainty and energy insecurity demands the
utmost in creativity, ingenuity and new ways of thinking in order to
reinvent both self and society.

How well said. I have been trying to come up with something like this. Here you go, Bill, as always, you are the pioneer and it really takes guts to leave the beaten tracks and pioneer the paths–while gently walking!

“…the greatest change we need to make is from consumption to
production, even if on a small scale, in our own gardens. If only 10% of
us do this, there is enough for everyone.

Hence the futility of revolutionaries who have no gardens, who depend on
the very system they attack, and who produce words and bullets, not food
and shelter.” – Bill Mollison

The AjamvariFarm blogging had slowed down a bit. Blame on me, but it was also my laziness to figure out the best way of posting. Now that I have discovered scribefire, it’s going to be regular, at least three in a week, but expect more.

My writings will focus on issues of sustainability, good life, farming, seed sharing, wilderness (of mind and the world); and many many more things.

I will get back to you regularly now and if you can please also subscribe to our feed!
