My Generation Baby

One of my dear bookstore friends and I were chatting the other day and I found out that she'd never heard of the New Alchemy Institute nor the Land Institute.  These were both pioneering efforts in developing a new path towards a sustainable future.  These kind of organizations should be in every bioregion in the world.

"In the late sixties, as the world was waking to a need for Earth Day, a pioneering group founded a small non-profit research and education organization they called the New Alchemy Institute. Their aim was to explore the ways a safer and more sustainable world could be created."
