that's an interesting idea Alex, I've just established a preliminary contact with Pawlyn and his company so it's early days atm but if I get the chance I'll draw his attention to Geoff Lawton's work - hope yr well - I get uneasy when you become so - er -quiescent?

(sorry about the picture btw, it's the best I've got of me for the moment :-)

I agree a very fascinating and inspiring film.  There is so much information in it!  It would be good to get thes guys talking to Geoff Lawton of Greening the dessert (see videos in this section). 

 

The possibilities with that much energy are endless, especially if you have enough water, and the idea that we can just stop mining (or at least reduce mining) and distill important elements from sea water!

Hi Carolyn - yea there's so much that we could and should be doing along those kind of lines, made my day when I watched it - For the last five years I've been intensively researching almost totally about what's wrong with the way we are as individuals, societies, and governments, and writing that up for the last three of those years and that gets pretty depressing because there's just so much that's wrong about how we are. I'm almost finished with that side of the coin, so my attention is now centred on how we really can change oh just about everything, from the bottom up really and this vid totally inspired me when I saw it. There's no real shortage of this sort of thinking, research and understanding in a great many countries, what we're seriously getting short of is the time within which to change and haul back on the destruction and damage - d x
