Comments on: Renewable Energy as Social Relationship http://pattricejones.info/blog/archives/281 communications from an eco-anarcha-feminist animal Fri, 10 Sep 2010 05:50:42 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Charlotte http://pattricejones.info/blog/archives/281#comment-4079 Charlotte Mon, 07 Jul 2008 12:39:11 +0000 http://www.pattricejones.info/blog/archives/281#comment-4079 An EXCELLENT article. Sort of goes against my grain in a personal way (I am no good at making connections, seeking out social relationships, especially with random people, all that stuff, plus I'd rather we all just disappear), but the fact is, this is the kind of thing that has to happen all over the world -- small, local solutions, crafted specifically for specific places (just as humans should have remained, animals geared toward their own specific climates and ecosystems). No solutions are forthcoming on a broad scale, and none will be -- so, the best humans can hope for are pockets here and there, places where truly sustainable practices are conducted, like this place (well, other than the "farming" of cows and the use of motorized vehicles and such), so that when everything crumbles, there will be something SANE to look toward instead of what most people will do, which is revert to horrid violence in an effort to maintain a way of life that won't work any longer. Anyway. Thanks! Charlotte An EXCELLENT article. Sort of goes against my grain in a personal way (I am no good at making connections, seeking out social relationships, especially with random people, all that stuff, plus I’d rather we all just disappear), but the fact is, this is the kind of thing that has to happen all over the world — small, local solutions, crafted specifically for specific places (just as humans should have remained, animals geared toward their own specific climates and ecosystems).

Anyway. Thanks!
