13. It can be done.
It ain't gonna be easy.... ;)

Some are already doing it. Read the Living Car-Free forum over at www.bikeforums.net.

Some of Kunstlers' points are quite prophetic, IMHO:

A return to regional economies.

The end of industrialized agriculture.

The end of the suburban car-culture.

The end of sprawling cities and endless subdivisions of McMansions.

A return to the land and the simpler life that that entails.


Are we up to it? :patriot: (Okay...I'm being a bit melodramatic here, but the point stands.) :rofl:


On a side note, most don't think about how much of their income is devoured by expensive cars, especially two or three of them. A lot of the reason folks are so financially strapped today is what's parked in their driveways and garages.

Why be a slave to a finance company and a machine?
