Hi Samantha, did you get a good program in one of those paradises? Rachel I'm glad you are signed on to this excellent cause. I see you haven't posted much since the log in. I've tried to tell what you're holding in your profile pic.  a peacock feather fan? My pic is of me near the crest of Pack monadnock Mtn, NH wearing my t shirt from we can solve it .org I am in Boston, a grandfather of two beautiful gilrls in NYC, Sarah and Hannah. I operate a sustainable remodeling company called Living Structures in Boston see livingstructures.net I have been working in one way or another for environmental balance since the 1st Earthday in 1970. I am very encouraged to see young people like yourself engaging with the earth on behalf of humanity. I hope you are truly interested in sustainability in food production and all energy and resource use. Here are some  links to special and vital resources I have encountered in the second half of my 60 years. Apeiron Institute for Sustainability, Coventry RI apeiron.org Transition USA , a movement to prepare for post petroleum times, www.transitionus.org New Alchemy Institute, a groundbreaking project on Cape Cod MA that demonstrated solar bioshelters, now transformed to Ocean Arks International  http://www.oceanarks.org/ In Sandy Lake , PA we have  Three Sisters Permaculture where growers run a working market garden bioshelter derived from the new Alchemy designs and research. Refer also to the Integral Urban House, a project where two biologists turned a victorian house in Berkley CA into a self reliant home with food production, waste recycling and energy efficiency Please also see: 350.org repoweramerica.org http://rhizomecollective.org http://www.farmandfood.org/home http://homegrownrevolution.com http://www.sixdegreechallenge.org http://www.sagefarm.net http://ena.ecovillage.org/eng/ ecovillage site of the americas http://www.tealfarm.com/farm_buildings.html http://www.ecological-engineering.com I believe that the key to humanity's future depends on a multiple evolution of our moral, spiritual, artistic  and scientific development for each individual. I hope to share progress on these fronts with people from my region and elsewhere. I hope you will find useful and inspiring information. Please let me know your thoughts.
