We all want well-being, fulfilment and some material comfort in our lives. How do we meet our needs without depriving or damaging other people, other life-forms and the planet itself? Can we be both happy and responsible in a rather crazy world?
Answers to these questions are complex, but there is a simple guiding thread: to apply the principles of natural organic growth and sustainable development to all aspects of our situation, to the way we live and work, and to our environment. Facing the 2020s is a research project I have started which aims to understand better the major challenges of the next decade (peak oil, climate change, economic contraction and lots more), and understand how we as individuals, local communities and as a society can collaborate and innovate to improve our quality of life in the face of those challenges. Community can play a vital role in evolving an organic way of living. There is plenty in our personal lives that we can do to make them more humanly and environmentally sustainable. Desert Wisdom offers some guiding principles, and some events to experience this. The Resources section on this site has a wealth of information and workshops, books and links. This site is both an introduction to my projects, events and writings about living organically, and a gateway to other contacts and resources on this. Your suggestions are deeply welcome.
