i'm way late to the party, had this on my dashboard for 4 days,,, but i want to answer if only to agree as these ideas intrigue me a lot. I'd like to think that the world is swinging back towards small communities and eco-friendly living, but in our current political climate theres an equally strong movement in the opposite direction which is scary.

I agree with all of your points. I think the real question is: how do we begin?
