The earth is shrinking, and here's proof....

An article on a subject that's ignored by the national media...the rising numbers of environmental refugees who leave their homes because of food shortages, global warming and/or climate change, population issues, etc. by Lester R. Brown, Earth Policy Institute.

On the Permaculture site...

Also, there's a free PDF download of the entire copy of Mr. Brown's book, Plan B 4.0: Mobilizing to Save Civilization.

There ARE Too Many of Us

My friend, Susan Tweit, has written an important and insightful article in the High Country News about over-population. I urge you to read it, and forward the link to others.

And if you enjoy Susan's writing, check out her blog and website. Be sure to check out the photos of her gardens and industrial site renovation and podcasts while you're there.

Happy trails,
