A review of The Long Heat says, “It may be too late for 1.5 degrees C, but it is also, as [authors] Carton and Malm write, ‘too late to give up.’”

This op-ed in the Anchorage Daily News traces the devastation back to climate change and capitalism: “We are witnessing the first wave of climate change refugees in the United States…their displacement is not just a loss of land; it is a loss of language, tradition, and the rhythm of life itself.”

We’ll prioritize completed or near-complete projects, but we’re open to including especially compelling works-in-progress.

Send us high resolution photos of your building in a fire-prone area or build after a fire along with the following info: building location (city, state, country), designer and/or builder, and any brief details about what makes the building more regenerative, natural, or resilient than typical.

Yeah, it's definitely an uphill battle in many places where building depts prefer "the way it's always been done" over anything else. We've heard people have had success by referencing the relevant IRC appendices (BI, BJ, BK, and BL), even if your jurisdiction hasn't adopted them though!

Lloyd Alter seems just as frustrated as The Last Farm is with the arguments in Abundance. Alter focuses on imagining what might happen if sufficiency would be valued more than endless growth. His vision is kind of uplifting and shares a bit of history too. lloydalter.substack.com/p/how-to-bui...

The Last Farm wrote that Abundance suggests “all of our problems will be solved via deregulation and technology plus a tiny dash of sensible regulation, which will unlock an endless flow of treats powered by magic” thelastfarm.substack.com/p/on-abundan...
