How can people better integrate the principles of ecological design into their lifestyles?
JT: That’s a tough question! Lifestyles changes for most of us are incremental, but we need to set a path for ourselves and then head down that road. Start by being conscious of what you eat, wear, how and where you travel, where you live and what you consume. Try and spend less time with your computer and more time actually doing something like gardening, cooking, making things and working to enhance the social fabric of your community. I see this culture, as a whole, sleep-walking into the future. We need to wake up and be conscious. I, for example, drive too much as my two work bases are separated by two hundred miles. I constantly think of ways in which I might ameliorate the damage I am doing to the atmosphere. For some of us planting a small forest is the answer. For others it is traveling less. But don’t forget to eat organic foods and buy locally when you can. That will jump start the post-industrial ecological age. Lastly, here are two of my websites to check out: oceanarks.or
