In The Wake

"...Survival books are usually about people who are trapped or lost in the wilderness trying to get back to civilization. In the Wake is about people trapped or lost in civilization, trying to get back to the land."

Amy just introduced me to an interesting site that parallels the Nothing New Project called In The Wake. It is a website that encourages readers to contribute information concerning sustainable survival strategies. It's kind of intense, for example, "Industrial civilization will destroy more human and living communities the longer it lasts. Hence, the longer it exists, the worse are our chances for survival. Therefore, it is desirable that industrial civilization should end as soon as possible." However, there are some interesting interviews and bits of advice, (I enjoyed the bit about toothpaste and shampoo.)

Happy (Nothing) New Year!
