If people are filled with a sense of gloom and doom and no longer can have fun, many, if not all of us, will burn out and tune out. But it's a tight-rope walk. We don't want to try so hard to have a feel-good message that we end up over-simplifying our eco problems and possible solutions.

Have you tried composting your poop and pee ? I haven't yet. I will spread the word about this site to get more people involved. Transition Pittsburgh sounds interesting, as does the 3 Rivers Bioneers event. I may end up making previewing events a key part of my work as a reporter. How about cold showers?
