I’ve been working and managing remotely for 10 years. In fact, I wrote a book about it. Working remotely is not for everyone, but the pandemic showed that many more people in the world can work remotely than currently do, preferably as a part of self-sufficient communities.

I dream that the future of government is to help individuals transition to small, sustainable communities. It’s difficult for people to purposefully say goodbye to some luxuries that exist, but it’s the only way we can survive on this planet.

When I moved to Europe, I left all my friends behind. It was incredibly difficult to make new friends. Now, I’ve got a weekly boardgame night where folks drop in. It’s the most important part of my week.

So do your best to find like minded individuals (in real life!) and do it together. Together we go far.

I created !15minutecity@slrpnk.net and it’s got some activity but it could definitely use more!

There’s a great book that covers this: https://www.goodreads.com/es/book/show/54870131

Thanks for that!

We ordered from https://pepperseeds.eu/ We got some extras and seems like we a couple sprouts from each variant.

We just planted peppers this year. We ordered a couple batches of seeds online and so far things are growing. The Vampire peppers are doing the best. Good luck with this

I’ve recently read The Ministry of the Future. It’s a good book that I would consider climate fiction. It’s set in near present day and follows a transition to a solar based society. This is interwoven with chapters consisting of hard climate science. Definitely worth a read if you are interested in learning more about our forthcoming transition but I think it falls short as a traditional fiction read.
