Imagestreaming is THE most powerful innovation tool I know. The inventions that come from its use are often totally the opposite of what you might expect and more than often, surprising.

If you or your readers are interested, the whole thing is described in my book, most of which is published on Planet thoughts at http://www.planetthoughts.org/?pg=pt/Whole&qid=2252. The video of the book is on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jB22xyjh6kQ.

One other thing I was trying, connected to the book was to write newsletters from the sustainable future, to stimulate thinking. These come from the book and are available on my website.

I’d be fascinated to here all your comments.

Gone for good……..

In your spare time (I know, I know), would you also undertake working with Sharon and produce yet another template stemming from her current involvement advocating for zoning law revisions. How about wide-spread availability (maybe spearheaded by official Transition Towns??) of a uniform way we wish to operate (clotheslines, fer sure, and chickens, and other small livestock) and introduce, say, December 1 as *the* National Day of Electronic Zoning
Advocacy? What does an all-out “This is what we want, please!” look like flowing in electronically to local government offices across the nation? Creative busy signal that the message has been received? Let’s not forget to plan timely follow ups either!!

Are you up for something along these lines? Me, I think you’re the Guy for it!

Please….and thank you.

I respectfully expect you do get crackin’ tons and tons between now and the faithful time nature bats last. As a matter of fact, I believe it’s your turn to bat into swinging action, and We, Of The Community Planet need your help.

What you have listed appears to support my point to get down, get funky because I’m reading that you propose an awful lot to others, spend time exchanging with interesting electronic pen pals, and have gotten the me-myself-and-I floating home front in order.

How about something radically different to get the blood flowing and add feathers to your personal contributing cap, and surely a couple of new sprouting gray hairs across your chest?

I read your blog every now and again, and remember some tidbit mention about poetry in prison, a contribution that has come to pass, yes? Well, then, there it is, the perfect pet project for you:

Build on those prior contacts and get involved with your local/regional network of prisons to bring organic gardening to each facility. Rules and regulations? Help modify them. Not enough land? Grow in pots (no, I did not say grow pot!), and wouldn’t all that fencing make a lovely trellis!! Explore the best crops for each locale and population; please raise worms (who needs another leather wallet made by an inmate, but many would buy bags of worm casings from a prison outlet in a heartbeat); compost in-house & other cafeteria food waste. Grow things = Teach skills. You know the kind: survival skills…

You’ve reached Sharon’s blog for a reason, and so collaborate with her on some fine-tuning aspect of this (or some such) change-our-world journey, adding national uniformity to the mission if possible. Maybe help create a couple of decent green jobs here and there along the way, and if Sharon makes two or three consulting bucks somewhere down the line that would probably be okay. And doesn’t D.J. Himself have prison contacts of his own from past educational ventures? To operate from a helpful template to get things underway in one’s neighborhood could prove mighty inviting to an enterprising companion-someone.

So, what say, Guy McPherson? Become poetry in motion and up your batting average in one year’s time?

By the bye-bye, Free to Good Home was intended for you. You can call me Thunder Thighs whenever you’d like!

It’s Sharon’s airtime, off we go!!

Guy McPherson is on the prowl for his lifeline: a constant glow of limelight upon his balding spot. Time to get off the lamenting pot, Doc, and get crackin’. High time.

Surely,

Thunder Thighs

(not your ordinary Gal Friday, or Thursday, depends).

Presume – I can’t feel responsible for the world. I can’t even imagine the world realistically. I know it exists out there but the reality fails to hit home. Therefore, I can’t change my lifestyle to suit the world. Or future generations who I also can’t imagine and probably wouldn’t like if I knew them.

However, I am keen on me. And my immediate family. I find I can be very altruistic on a small scale.

And something we are all concerned about is the western lifestyle condemning us to eat unhealthy mass produced food and to participate in medical and pharmaceutical science to an extent that we are not prepared to do.

So we want to eat well and be healthy. As a result, our lifestyle is so similar to Sharon’s that we could play I’ll show you mine if you show me yours.

Result? The perfect sustainable lifestyle but our rationale is different. Maybe we are talking too big picture to attract commitment from diverse people. If they could find their own beliefs to encourage them to change their lifestyle for the better, they would be so much better off than being guilted into it by climate change and peak oil stories.

And the end result would be the same.
