Sustainability

To utilize resources at a rate no faster than they recharge; to live in a manner that allows all others to live equally well; to love your great, great, great grandchildren.

1. Transportation  Get where you need to go using your own muscles. If you are strong and healthy, help somebody who isn't to get around.

2. Shelter  Use passive solar design to heat or cool your home. If it isn't oriented to do that, move in with friends and disassemble your house for spare building materials. Plan and build for resource conservation.

3. Food  Organic gardening, solar greenhouses, and permaculture can provide locally all we need to consume for a healthy diet.

4. Work  Sustainably use local resources to meet local needs. Trade only for those items that cannot be locally produced. Don't allow anybody to be exploited on your behalf.

5. Community  Build democratic institutions that encourage creative collaboration through compassionate communication.
