Self-sufficiency is an essential aspect to the well-being of all humans. Ernst Schumacher recognized the folly of globalization. In his 1973 bestseller, “Small is Beautiful” he discusses the impractical, in-sustainability of globalization in favor of providing localized self-sufficiency for our communities. And...., he was 1000% right on every count! 

 

Fifty-years later people from every walk of life are tuning in & understanding the critical need to create a locally managed self-sufficient reality. In the meantime, dedicated individuals have invented, perfected, and are sharing easy to access and operate technologies that allow us to finally get the job done. The Eden Project in Cornwall, England is an inspiring example.
