GAIA Host Collective
I am working with others on starting a transition initiative here in the Twin cities in Minnesota. If you are suffering from peak oil blues, skip the prozaic, and get together with a group of people intent on solving the problem. It lifts the soul!
I also am working to advance our understanding of what is happening with EROI and oil and gas as we go over the peak. I want to work with those people who do want to see a bit further into the future and try to map as soft a landing as is possible.
And I am trying to lower my carbon foot print a bit at a time. Learning to cook vegetarian. Giving up air travel. Live in a small apartment, etc. "10 times less stuff that lasts 10 times as long" is a motto I picked up from a web presentation somewhere and I am trying to make that a reality.
If TWASWKI ends in a worst case way my good freind is a Master Gardener and general handyman. I would hook up with him to help whatever HE does.
More optimistically I can do pretty much any construction job. Not an expert in anything, but give me time and I'll figure it out. I allready had over $2000 worth of construction tools. Just bought an $1800.00 cordless tool set= 15 Makita tools. I want to be ready to DO work and having tools makes me more valuable than grunt labor. I could NOT compete directly with a specialist; but I would be an excellant handyman/remodeller assistant type.
My income is mostly SSDI currently. The tools are for if SSDI payments drastically lose value due to hyperinflation or second Great Depression that Automatic Earth talks about happens. I would like to get a more fuel efficient vehicle but all I can afford that is an improvement is a used Aveo or a motorcycle; I get 30 MPG currently.
Also I do intend to get set up with an emergency preparedness kit, but I figure I would not need it for at least 5 years...I expect the Archdruids slow decline not a fast crash.
