November/December 2004
Next issue: due date October 10
The Collapse of the US Empire and How to Survive and Thrive.
Imagine what would happen if this bubble/terrarium called the US economy
begins to burst at the edges... not necessarily in a doomesday scenario but in
more practical methods. What would we do? A crash course in sustainable living
might be on par. Learning how our local FEMA would respond. Learning what our
city officials are prepared for, i.e., banks closing, supermarket shelves are
empty, etc.
It may even feel like the Y2K days. That time could have been a time to
learn to prepare but overall it did nothing. And as Matthew Simmons, a major
consultant for energy corporations via the World Bank and the IMF said in the
film “The End of Suburbia,” the black out of Toronto taught us nothing. It
could have but it didn’t. Also, we will be featuring the new book by Richard
Heinberg called Power Down: Options and Actions for a Post-Carbon World. What
jobs/livelihoods would we start doing? Is the local economy thriving; how 
would you
run your computer? What can we start doing now to prepare for such an
inevitability? Even if nothing happened, wouldn’t it still be cool to 
live friendly
on the earth and learn sustainable ways that have been existent for thousands
of years before the age of modernity? Must we always have a crisis before we
act?
Send in your rants, essays, poems, reviews, solutions, neighborhood survival
strategies, etc.Due October 10th




HopeDance will feature an ALTERNATIVES TO OIL directory for the Nov/Dec issue
which is focusing on surviving and thriving from the collapse of the US
Empire.
