A grimly accurate assessment, over all, of the “Death Spiral” in which both America and Britain (and, to a lesser or greater extent, all other nations on the planet) are caught. And growing climate chaos will, of course, accelerate all of these trends to a breaking point — catastrophic collapse of our entire industrial and socioeconomic infrastructure, worldwide. Unless…

Unless what?

Unless we deliberately and systematically create a new, adaptive, resilient social infrastructure from the ground up.

How?

By growing gardens, growing community, and growing awareness. Everywhere.

By learning adaptive survival skills, teaching them to each other, healing our damaged biological support systems as much as we can (starting with topsoil building and carbon sequestration), and through all of the above, creating a Gaian culture from the ground up.

By permaculture, in a nutshell.
