The Green Issue

[errantember]

This is a brief but excellent article by Michael Polan, author of The Botany of Desire, The Omnivore's Dilemma, and, most recently, In Defense of Food. It's about the whole global warming/climate change/peak oil/expensive gas dilemma that most Americans are finally being forced to face when they refuel their SUVs. Polan's work, particularly The Omnivore's Dilemma, has led to a fundamental shift in the way I eat, live, and garden. You don't have to read his work, but if you do, you will be changed forever.

That's great to hear. One of things he talks about on his website is how over the past few years he's really seen local food take off a a movement, and that he's surprised that politicians are still so oblivious to it.

I do need to find some time to read those books - I've heard a lot of good things about them.
In the meantime I've got at least the structure for atxintentional set up, and I'm spending work hours today devouring http://wiki.ic.org . :) And am considering going to Boston in June for the big co-housing conference.
