Whether or not our lifestyles are sustainable gets tested during a time of crisis. Is it possible to live in a way that will prevent chaos and suffering during a major crisis? If it is, you might say we have discovered a non-violent mode of existence.

If you're worried about the environment, it can be frustrating to be around people who aren't. Even among friends and family, the fate of the next and all future generations can be treated like a pet topic or hobby. "Oh right - you're into that kind of stuff. Good for you." Well yes, if you're referring to every living thing, including the earth that keeps them living, then yeah - I'm into that!

Readers may recall my recent article about resilience and the huge personal debts most people seem to have. Manitoba Hydro has taken on huge debts as well such that it is having difficulty servicing those debts and as a result Hydro says it will need to raise rates. Reports are that it plans 8+% increases for the next 5 years adding up to a total of 46% extra on your Hydro bill.

An acorn when it’s born
Wants to be an oaken tree
Though oft this drive is met with scorn
And is not always meant to be
