• World oil peaking is going to happen, and will likely be abrupt.
• Oil peaking will adversely affect global economies, particularly those most dependent on oil.
• Oil peaking presents a unique challenge (“it will be abrupt and revolutionary”).
• Government intervention will be required, but economic upheaval is not inevitable.

“Financial Turmoil”
[From Chris Martenson, TheEndofMoney.com:]
“Here's my very direct and simple thought: The US dollar is toast...
"What exactly is the long-term direction of a currency that is backed by defective loans, unsaleable assets, and positions in failed companies?"
“...the stage is now set for a major dollar collapse.”
What is Sustainable?
the conscious design and maintenance of agriculturally productive ecosystems which have the diversity, stability, and
resilience of natural ecosystems.
Permaculture:
the harmonious integration of landscape and people, providing their food, energy, shelter, and other material and non-material
needs, in a sustainable way
Permaculture:
meeting human needs while increasing ecosystem health
