Nature Does Not Forgive Mistakes
Reclaiming Your Power and Living Locally
Expensive fuel and extreme weather are converging
What will be our future?
Join us for an evening with visionary writer
Ernest Callenbach, author of
Ecology-A Pocket Guide, Bring Back the Buffalo, and
Ecotopia
In Ecotopia the orientation of the new government toward basic biological survival was a unifying and reassuring force… the burden of outlays for an enormous arms establishment caused a profound long-term decline in the world competitiveness of American civilian industry. …A slow drop in per capita income and increased tensions between rich and poor ended citizen confidence in economic gains. .. Energy crises bred disruption and price gouging. And chronic Washington scandals greatly reduced faith in central government..
All this, one Ecotopian told me, “Convinced us that if we wished to survive we had to take matters into our own hands.”

Do you have a vision of how you want to live?
Do you want a sustainable tomorrow?
“Change occurs when there is a confluence of both changing values
and economic necessity, not before.”
John Naisbett
