We distort reality when we omit the health and environmental costs associated with burning fossil fuels from their prices.

Western-style consumer lifestyles are highly resource and energy intensive. This paper examines the energy intensity of these consumer lifestyles and considers whether such lifestyles could be sustained in a future with declining energy supplies and much higher energy prices. The rise of consumer societies since the industrial revolution has only been possible due to the [...]]]></description>

Lesser known and perhaps more integral, however, are the countless individuals whose stories remain untold and hidden by history. &#8220;Orlando Permaculture&#8221; is a documentary of the latter modern-day individuals. It is a story of a community of people [...]]]></description>
