This is written by my colleague Greg Gerritt at the blog Prosperity for Rhode Island. He pointed out the sobering fact for me that . . . in the past if the soils were no longer feeding Italy, farmers moved the the Americas. If the fish in the North Sea were diminished, the Grand Banks still had cod in abundance. When the forests in Maine disappeared Minnesota beckoned and Paul Bunyan moved along. And few people lived in the tropical forests. Now there is no place left to go.

What to do?

The quick version is start a massive program to heal ecosystems on the planet. Feed everyone while at the same time healing the ecosystems that feed us. Use less and share more.

What will you be doing during the fall of civilization?
