John Michael Greer, who posts a weekly essay on his Archdruid Report announced that he is going on hiatus for a while. In response, I quipped that I'd come to really rely on his weekly post about the potential winding down of industrial civilization, and now I'd be forced to make the transition from consumer to producer. I suppose I’ll have to get my weekly dose by writing my own version of the report on my own blog. After all, one of the more promising avenues of adaptation (in addition to gardening, appropriate tech, etc.) has to be making the mental and material transformations from consumer to producer. And with that I have my first topic to explore .But now I have to gather my thoughts and muster my arguments if I'm going to attempt the kind of weekly manifesto that JMG manages to produce. My recent research travels have given me grist for the mill . . .
