One rural community responds to climate change

community response to climate change
It’s SHOWTIME For Climate Change
I’ve been working for the past few months in this pint-sized piece of paradise designing a community education ‘template’ which integrates the practices and teachings of Yoga and Mindfulness with learning basic principles about climate change and how to adapt and take action.
The sky’s the limit
As this wild year comes to an end, we return to the season of gifts. Here’s the gift you’re not going to get soon: any conventional version of Paradise. You know, the place where nothing much happens and nothing is demanded of you. The gifts you’ve already been given in 2012 include a struggle over the fate of the Earth. This is probably not exactly what you asked for, and I wish it were otherwise — but to do good work, to be necessary, to have something to give: these are the true gifts. And at least there’s still a struggle ahead of us, not just doom and despair.
2012 Climate Change and Permaculture
2012: is it really the end of the world? Are the tectonic plates going to tilt, like in the movie, and dump us off? Will the earth crack open and the seas split? Unlikely. You can breathe a qualified sigh of relief. Mayan shamans and scholars tell us that the close of this great cycle of the Mayan calendar is not the cue for apocalypse but rather a new beginning, another turn of the wheel.
