To leverage environmentalism to rebuild and sustain itself in the wake of near total destruction, it just may unwittingly be writing a modern survival guide for rural America.

A lot of what's happening in Greensburg is some of the first in the country.

A name such as "Greensburg" was maybe prophetic? Anyways, let's hope that we don't have to wait until the whole planet is "obliterated" to take some steps outside of Greensburg!

I will keep trying to find the "good stuff" for you!

Bravo for Greensburg!!

First thing I thought was New Orleans
