I'm changing my approach. As a futurist, I've been trying to alert people to ecological overshoot dangers. Weather disasters are getting worse and more frequent. As glaciers melt, summer droughts become more of a problem.

As Climate Changes a billion people will have to move and will die trying.

Trying to warn people about the problems we face does no good. Beliefs are stronger than logic. You have to dig deep to find the true cause of a problem. In the case of climate, it is not fossil fuel, it is not that population stresses Earth's resources. It is people's beliefs that cause inaction.

Rather than try to convince people we have a problem, I will focus on helping people who know they have a problem prepare to deal with the problems they know they face.

I am not a prepper who wants to live off the grid and is ready to kill to "defend" the family.

I am a realist who will do everything I can to help my family and my community survive a chaotic future.

So how is that changing what I am writing about?

It is more about the audience I will write for and the tone of my writing. I want to look for solutions not just problems.

I can not do this alone. I have to build teams of people who will work to make their communities more sustainable. We will work as individuals to develop survival skills, create resilient incomes, and maintain the quality of our personal environments.
