Glimpse of community life at Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage
The Ithaca farming and food scenes
I recently visited my friend Sean up in the Ithaca area of New York state for a few days. It’s a great little community up there. I’m a fan. There are strong progressive / environmental / farming / natural building / permaculture / local foods scenes. It’s definitely something of a hotbed.
Sean recently got himself [...]
Going back… to the outside world
When you live in community, there are many instances in which you must refer to places outside of your community. It’s not always just the physical place itself, but the culture that comes with it, too. There are different labels for “out there” that different communities use, but the one I find myself using most [...]
Superheroes bike across Missouri
This weekend, I met some Superheroes. These were bike-riding Superheroes who take a month to do public service without any plans or agenda. This year’s location is Missouri, and they started off their ride by visiting Dancing Rabbit, Sandhill Farm, and Red Earth Farms, doing a day of service for each community.
The Superheroes headquarters is [...]

Let me start this off by saying that I have a big interest in reading about civilization and ecology and politics and industrialization and sustainability (and other related, converging topics). Much of the non-fiction that I read falls into a category focusing on [...]
Greenwashing
The art of greenwashing.
Life is not Photoshop
Here’s something a little different for once: why you should never believe your eyes.
Sigh!
Peak ahead
Escape from Suburbua: Beyond the American Dream is out now. Here’s a synopsis of the film:
…In ESCAPE From SUBURBIA director Greg Greene once again takes us “through the looking glass” on a journey of discovery – a sobering yet vital and ultimately positive exploration of what the second half of the Oil Age has in [...]
Culture shock
Last night, there was an “ice cream social” in Rutledge. Every so often, the town organizes little social events to raise money. (I think the cash goes towards some kind of school restoration fund or something). Anyway, Rutledge is a tiny community with a population of about 100 people. Most of the folks are elderly [...]
