Degrowth is coming it is just a matter of when and how ready we are for it. Running for the hills isn't the solution as that takes us backwards, we have to learn how to live in these cities, in this populous environments that we have created, but without the resources that we've grown so sadly accustomed to.

For instance I am changing the way that I look at my clothes. I want stylish and comfy clothes but I am no longer going to bring dyed cotton halfway around the world to save you guys from seeing my beer-gut. I'm going to source and support locally produced, sustainable clothiers and if they don't exist I'm going to start to create a market for one.

I am also going to tele-commute more and cycle when I can. Roll on summer.

May 16th is "Turn it Off" BC day -- a day for people across the province to turn off their lights and other non-essential electronic and electrical devices. We're going to show the world that BC-ers don't just talk the talk on sustainability -- we're prepared to talk in the dark.

Please join me by taking the Turn It Off! pledge at http://30daysofsustainability.com/pledge
