Ok ok, but let's get beyond this techno-hopium -- and really soon, too. This tech has HUGE environmental and political costs. (Think global flexible regimes of accumulation.) So, if we're authentically concerned, then...

@hydroponictrash This technology might benefit me greatly this summer. Power is limited (small photovoltaic) so I run a small fan, but my crooked wooden house bakes in the sun.

YouTube - ♫ Pink Floyd - On The Turning Away [Lyrics]

@BrentToderian Imagine a sustainable, empathetic society. Currently, it's about "the turning away." The turning away from vulnerable people. The turning away from our own natures (towards alienation). The turning away from our living planet.

Restructuring everyday lives to healthy, safe, fun sustainable lifestyles with meaningful relationships, robust community-level production, strong democracy and serious restraint on capitalist bullies.

Thanks for doing what you do! I'm over here working on developing pathways for authentic . But... LOTS of denial and dawdling out there. Where's the support from our political leadership? I guess that comes later? Heh heh. Better come sooner.

Well... I guess we really should try (authentically). But, it seems that ~4°C is baked into the short loop and ~10°C into the long loop (according to recent Hansen et al). So... ack. Still... gotta try. Perennial woodies, more climax forests, etc and of course the obvious:

@bethsawin

Thanks for mentioning indicators. Social and environmental indicators are key to community assessment, community development assessment and community development planning. They logically follow from planning (well-being) goals.

@uxmark Your design weblog site for Connolly Design is quite good. Thanks doing that stuff. GIS, too!! I use QGIS for my forestry work and permaculture design.

@bethsawin I sure wish someone in the admin would say it out loud: lifestyle change. Turns out "they" (we) were wrong. The American Way of Life is negotiable, and biology and physics are the negotiators.

@g1comics @bethsawin Yes, yes... the simple conservation measures we can take. Plus, we look really cool in our warmies sans plastic when we can. I like to warm a flagstone on the wood stove and lay it under the blankets before I call in for the night. But, hot water bottles do the trick, too.

@bethsawin Yes, indeed! The beautiful elephant in the room: restructuring communities (infrastructure and productive patterns) to encourage easy adoption of (and adaptation to) sustainable lifestyles is clearly more sensible and feasible than selling high-dollar tech gadgets.

Attention cattle! Good news from COP15!!! In 7 years we will begin deliberating on the process of Designing a Barn Door! Within a brief but indeterminate time period we will kindly ask you to return to your barn in an orderly fashion. Until then please resume your lifestyles.

One might scoff at the idea of melting snow for wash water but we'll all have to agree that it's better than evaporating water off urine on a life raft any day.
