Are We Helping Ourselves?

"The tragic reality is that very few sustainable systems are designed or
applied by those who hold power, and the reason for this is obvious and
simple: to let people arrange their own food, energy and shelter is to
lose economic and political control over them. We should cease to look
to power structures, hierarchical systems or governments to help us, and
devise ways to help ourselves.
