If you have 25 minutes, check out this awesome interview with David Holmgren, co-founder of Permaculture on his view of the future.

Holmgren argues, given no discoveries of new cheap energy, each generation will live with less and less available energy. This is in sharp contrast to the energy ascent of the last 500 years with the discoveries of coal, oil, and natural gas. He does not believe that the presently pervasive idea of sustainability, in the sense that we can use new efficient technology to upkeep our current lifestyles, is probable.

 Dear Neighbors -
 
   The average American family discards tons of kitchen waste that is rapidly filling our nations landfills. Unlike plastic bottles, disposable diapers, and other synthetic materials, this organic matter will gradually decompose. Wouldn’t it put to better use in your garden?

 
    Most of us are thinking of ways to minimize waste and, more importantly, do our part in helping the environment. An economical and ecologically sound solution is to turn your families scraps into compost.
