Ecotopia, 30 Years Later

In the current issue of the Seattle Weekly there is a great interview with Ernest Callenbach (warning, link is not Firefox friendly), the author of Ecotopia. This is one of my all-time favorite books, and I find Callenbach's futuristic vision of a politically independent, ecologically sustainable Pacific Northwest inspiring on many levels. It was interesting to read his take on the current situation and his assessment of our future prospects. Favorite quote: "So this has to get through our thick skulls somehow, that what makes for a good life is not goods."
