Concentrated effort

I said; I am always looking to make the world a better place.

I was told...
: The only way to be effective at that is to start inside yourself, then work locally.
: It is darn hard to truly help people who are far away if you don't help those nearby.
: The effect of your local success will ripple, and help more and farther than you imagine.

The ARC

I have been spending most of my writing energy at HUG's new WIKI.

Using the same software as Wikipedia, we are inviting anyone interested to help us design a kind of agricultural neighborhood. We call it the ARC project (for Agricultural, Resilient Communities) (or Anti Retirement Communities.) I expect an ARC community to have a very pleasant, down to earth lifestyle, a robust economic base, and very low energy consumption.

It has been keeping us awake nights for a while as we try to put into words all the synergies that the ARC will pull together.

Lesson of the day
