Real hope comes from looking unflinchingly at o ur current circumstances and then committing wholeheartedly to creativ e action. Never has that been more urgently needed than right now, wit h the climate crisis looming larger every day. This book advocates for citizen-led, community-based action first and foremost: why wait for the government when you can take action today, with your neighbors? Fr om small solutions to the full re-invention of the systems we find our selves in, this book mixes anecdote with data-based research to bring you a wide range of options that all embody compassion, creativity and cooperation.\nAbout the author:\nMa'ikwe Ludwig is a cooperative cult ure pioneer, and long-time advocate for intentional community and sust ainability. She is a teacher, public speaker, writer and consultant fo r communities and social change organizations, and makes her home in L aramie, WY with fellow ecovillage folks.

This book explains how to build that kind of community anywhere--it's a manual for the future.\"\n~ Bill McKibben, Author of Eaarth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet\n \n \"Is it possible to jettison our current system of exploitation and en vironmental destruction, and create a new system, that is not only sus tainable but affords us a comfortable and fulfilling life? The answer is a resounding yes. Ma'ikwe Ludwig eloquently reminds us how the way is fraught with challenges and shows us how to conquer them. This is a must read for anyone who cares about the future of the human race.\"\ n~ Chong Kee Tan, PhD, Founder of Bay Bucks\n\n \nBook Title -- To gether Resilient: Building Community in the Age of Climate DisruptionA uthor -- Ma'ikwe LudwigISBN -- 978-0-9718264-5-8Publisher -- Fellow ship for Intentional Community (FIC)Publishing date -- April 22nd\n\" Together Resilient\" is now available for pre-order at ic.org/communi ty-bookstore/product/together-resilient-building-community\n\nFor more information visit https://transitionwhatcom.ning.com/events/building- community-in-the-age-of-climate-disruption DTSTART;TZID=America/Boise:20170321T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Boise:20170321T203000 CATEGORIES:presentation, and, discussion LOCATION:Bellingham Cohousing Common House WEBSITE:https://goo.gl/maps/b4ZvJbfr4LA2 URL:https://goo.gl/maps/b4ZvJbfr4LA2 CONTACT: ORGANIZER;CN="Rhys Faler":https://transitionwhatcom.ning.com/profile/R hys ATTACH;FMTTYPE="image/jpeg":http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/ file/get/2270133807?profile=original ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Rhys Fal er":https://transitionwhatcom.ning.com/profile/Rhys ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=TENTATIVE;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Cynthia Livingston":https://transitionwhatcom.ning.com/profile/CynthiaLivings ton END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
