Try as I might I cannot seem to find much overlap between the top
down techno centered approach and the bottom up-permaculture-living
lightly crowd.  It seems obvious that any long term change will
come from the people who are willing to make changes in their lives
and communities right now.  That being the case, there cannot be a
more cost effective approach than removing the blocks at the local
level that prevents people acting in community from pursuing and
achieving small footprint objectives.  Particularly onerous are the
ancient single use consumer driven zoning and other local
ordinances that treat as crimes collection and reuse of materials
(construction materials and gray water), clustered, group, and
small handmade housing, including a streamlined EcoVillage Zoning
process, on site food production, energy creation, and waste
treatment. There should be a general requirement for less car
centered communities that are multi use in walking distance for
work, living, socializing, shopping, and other activities that make
a community functional as well as friendly toward AB 32 goals.
