(Jason Bradford)

http://www.feasta.org/ - Feasta aims to identify the characteristics (economic, cultural and environmental) of a truly sustainable society, articulate how the necessary transition can be effected and promote the implementation of the measures required for this purpose.

http://www.newrules.org/ - Because the old ones don't work any longer. They undermine local economies, subvert democracy, weaken our sense of community, and ignore the costs of our decisions on the next generation.

http://www.landinstitute.org/vnews/display.v/ART/2001/04/17/3aa80bec9 - For the first time in 10,000 years, humans can now build an agriculture based on nature's ecosystems. As a prototype this means we explore in-depth how the never-plowed native prairie works and then develop a diverse, perennial vegetative structure capable of producing desirable edible grains in abundance including perennializing the major grain crops.

Practical Strategies to Create Community-based Eco-economies All of the above taken from a series of lectures starting Jan.27 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada http://www.greeneconomics.net/GE2005-schedule.htm
