Awakening Links

Speculation about the sustainability of our Western, petroleum-based, materially-focused society abounds. Magazines, movies and pundits tell us of the prophecy of 2012. People as diverse as naturalists, bankers, politicians, biologists, homeowners, fishermen, insurance executives, meteorologists, intelligence analysts, medical practitioners, educators, farmers, geologists, social workers, clergy, investors and policemen all have anecdotes about how their fields have been profoundly affected in recent times. Regardless of where you lie on the “end-of-society spectrum,” from extreme optimist to dire cynic, we are happy to provide a few well-known links that are suggestive of the non-ordinary times we live.
