Scientists have been warming us about global warming for over a decade. The world (mostly) finally believes the threat, and everyone's talking about it.
But what are we doing about it? What can we do?
I attended a talk by Manuel Castells , who showed us a film about a community in Spain, that's basically abandoned 'main-stream living', and has formed a commune, with no political structure. They're people who've come together based on a certain set of values and beliefs, and believe that the current economic system is unsustainable, and must be rebuilt from scratch. They have their own form of currency, grow their own food, build their own houses and have their own education system.
It's an interesting idea, but not a new one- and certainly can only be applied to very limited sections of society in limited parts of the world.
