The tragic reality is that very few sustainable systems are designed or applied by those who hold power, and the reason for this is obvious and simple: to let people arrange their own food, energy and shelter is to lose economic and political control over them.

We proposed to give all a chance; and we expected the weak to grow stronger, the ignorant wiser; and all better, and happier together.
