articles like this make me want to freak right out. like running down the streets with placards and megaphones and a thunderous voice, jumping up and down in the face of everyone I meet. But that’s not how I want to spread the word. I really and truly believe that the next 5, 10, 15 years are going to be a time of extremely difficult changes, but I also believe that a sane, rational, intelligent approach is better than shouting and fearmongering.

I’ve started thinking about buying a couple of acres of land. and a cow, sheep, spinning wheel and butter churn. I want to learn how to build things with my hands and identify useful plants. I want to spread the words, skills and attitude required to make the most of these challenges.

It’s scary though. And real.
