Humanity is in overshoot. Every day, without much comment from our 'news' media, we degrade the carrying capacity of the planet, add more humans, and extend ourselves farther out over the edge of the sustainability cliff, with nothing below to stop our fall. ~Rex Weyler...with nothing below to stop our fall...
We can't deny the fact that most of us are busy making a living, taking care of ourselves and each other, that we can't even have some time to spend thinking about how our actions affect everything around us. Many people now are doing what they can do depending on how much spare time they have from what keeps them busy like armchair activism. It shouldn't just end there.
Symptoms saying humanity is in overshoot are here. It tells us that our consumption and waste already exceeds Earth's biophysical capacity. It has long been overdue that we make action to help and somehow get over the industrialized way of life we've been introduced little by little. With that, here's a guide to permaculture for a post-civilized lifestyle.
