Open Source Ecology is about “hacking society” via permaculture principles. “We are proposing high-tech neosubsistence — or the capacity to live from local resources by use of advanced, appropriate technology, without requiring any compromise on quality of life,” writes Marcin Jakubowski, the project leader and “sparkplug,” on the group’s blog. “It is difficult to get people to think out of the box — that totally sustainable, regenerative, resilient economies are a choice — and that we are proposing a solution to implement these technologies.” via Grist
