Dear Sushil, I mainly agree with you although I haven't read it all as my time on the internet is limited because I don't have mains electricity. I'm pretty much a 'peasant' and that's the way I prefer to be. I don't like towns or crowds of people. I believe that the world is far too over-populated...

Well said Flower Hercules. You certainly speak for me in your well thought out and structured response. I too once had a lot of fervour but have become old and just live my life in quiet determination. Or is that desperation? Dear trinder, Thanks for your post. I am happy to know about the fervour ...

You are absolutely right sushil, The world needs such a dramatic change to save us from ourselves, but it just isn't going to happen because of the above answers people have given. It's too late to simply down tools and head for the woods (if only! what a lovely ideal (for me anyway)) Rather than d...

I have written only one article in my entire life - "Industrial Society destroys Mind and Environment". I have spent many years trying to understand the issues. Whenever I make an addition to my article I post it in the Forums where I have posted my article. When people fall sick they rush...

Dear Marc........I want to thank you for your comments and for your deep concern for environment.

Food, Clothing & Shelter......these are the maximum number of things this planet can provide to humans....... Industrial consumer goods must be eliminated immediately. Industrial Society is doing research on sustainability after destroying 75 - 90% of Biodiversity and Ecosystems. Nature has alre...

Dear friends, I have made some additions to my article and would like to request members of SelfSufficientish Forums to kindly read.......thank you. ............

Humans are not responsible for anything - the genes are responsible for everything. With all due respect, that makes no sense at all. I was being sarcastic towards the scientific community that tends to blame the genes [ not humans ] for all problems. Very soon science is going to announce the gene...

The basic problem is that most people do not understand what sustainability means. The problem is not helped by politicians who liberally sprinkle everything they do with "sustainability", by which they mean "Let's try to keep the damned environmentalists off our backs until after th...

What is most amazing about the issue of sustainability is the fact that modern society is trying to sustain the unsustainable - it is trying to sustain a consumerist system which has existed for almost zero percent of human existence on earth. The present consumerist lifestyle has existed for about ...
