Eco Living

Eco Living is the practice of living as sustainably and self-sufficiently as possible as the world enters a new phase of dwindling fossil fuels and the resultant rising energy costs. Eco-living has two levels: the individual and the community.

At the individual level, eco-living means that we become as self-sufficient as possible in terms of the necessities: food and energy dependency. If we can overcome our reliability on others for these two products, we will have gone a long way towards Eco Living.

At the community level, Eco Living entails reverting back to a more traditional way of life which includes weaning ourselves from our complete dependence on sources far removed for everything we need for survival and economic activity. For almost all of history--with the anomalous exception of the last 100 years or so--smaller communities were capable of producing the basic necessities of survival, especially if called upon to do so by external events.
