Alternative Energy, Democratic Technology and the Human ScaleAs our climate shifts, war with Iraq grinds on, and war with Iran looks ever more likely, it becomes increasingly urgent to respond appropriately to these questions:
Successful answers to these questions involve alternative energy and sustainable agriculture. They involve a diversification of how we produce and distribute food and energy. They involve broad-based coalitions such as the Apollo Alliance, which brings together the power and shared goals of labor and environment. They also involve strengthening community and helping to bring our systems and culture back to a scale and speed that is more hospitable for humans than what we have now. Over the fold is a list of organizations expressing remarkably similar perspectives -- across regional, political, and philosophical divides -- about what constitutes good community. From advocates for democratic technology to smart growth to small government - they all call for a world that is better scaled to fit human needs. They all recognize that, to some degree, human systems have exceeded the scale that is appropriate and comfortable for human life and that solving our current environmental and social problems requires correcting this imbalance.
