Hi Linda, thanks for posting this... I love the work of Rebecca Solnit.. in fact all the Solnit family, David and Daniel as well.. all bright intellectuals.

I posted the article on the DISCUSSION section at Transition CA for people to discuss and make comments on it. The social networking site makes discussing so much easier and with LESS emails. Here you go for those who wish to venture into the world of social networking in the Transition Town movement model:

We've reached Peak Travel, and relocalization is the next logical step.  Thanks to modern communications, we can stay in touch by text, voice and video but will probably be zooming around the planet less often. And as Solnit points out: "Perhaps the most radical thing you can do in our time is to start turning over the soil, loosening it up for the crops to settle in, and then stay home to tend them."
