25 March 2010: I'm working from home today, so
have been able to go properly through this web site. I remain interested
in the concept: Copenhagen has left me confident that adaptation will be
the rule... Top of mind: 1. Local electricity generation? 2. Home
working - designed around broadband network - but these are vulnerable
to natural disasters too, and we have an interesting conundrum - our new
building is designed for additional resilience and reliability of
supply, unlike homes. 3. I'm still working on reducing now -
rather than what to do for adaptation - so there aren't any resources
that spring to mind. [Abby]
12 March 2010: In surfing you have to go beyond
the break: in Castaway it was the hardest part. Go build your raft: the
great wide ocean and future awaits the bold and the brave. [Bob]
11 March 2010: Just one suggestion: you might like
to use the word resilience in your text as much as sustainability. A lot
of knowledgeable people -- especially after the Copenhagen fiasco --
seem to believe now that, ecologically-globally, we have screwed up so
bad, that mitigation is almost futile. We better focus on adapting and
preparing for what will hit us in the next 10 or so years ... [Dushko]
Yes. I thought about the role of "resilience" but figure that we need
more than the ability to 'spring back': we need to 'get beyond' the
coming change which is more than just being resilient? Or is it?
11 March 2010: Looks like you are trying to
reinvent the wheel 10 years late. Have a look at transition towns
projects www.greylynn2030.co.nz
is my local ... [Jason]
Transition Towns are one approach to part of the challenge we face
but is it the only thing we need to do?
