BFEO debut
Last Saturday, I presented my first seminar on Building for the End of Oil at a Wellness Through Healthy Living conference at the Harrisburg Area Community College. It's a work in progress, but I am beginning to define some of the details of the way we should build and equip our homes. Here is a link to the presentation.
As you can see, I am pretty much convinced that global society (forget about U.S. society) is not going to be diverted on its beeline for the edge of the cliff, and that petroleum depletion and climate change are not going to slow down or be turned back.
So it is time to adapt. I believe we need to expend our intellectual energy on preparing for the adverse impacts of these two factors, which will alter our way of life more significantly than anything that has happened in several generations.
I am in the planning stage for my first development - 12 affordable, green housing units on a 1-1/3 acre site in Carlisle, PA. I plan to incorporate many of the features I discuss in this blog into those units, and will describe my thinking as the project takes shape.
