About

Hey. I'm a believer who really wants to build an ecovillage on Clanton Creek in Western Kentucky. I'll need some help.

I've spent a lot of time as a Homeless person in New Orleans, Memphis, St Louis and other cities in the US Central Time Zone. My vision is to start a eco-friendly bus service for urban refugees that doubles as a worker shuttle and a transport for goods and produce from area ecofarms and villages up and down the Mississippi River and its tributaries. Soon I plan to become homeless in Cape Girardeau, Missouri and do some boots-on-the-ground unfunded investigative journalism. This fall I'm hoping to go to a place called San Rafael, CA and see how those folks deal with a penniless person. *wink*

I'm extremely interested in the river and tributary system and I advocate Keyline Design as a means to improve watershed health and to build soil without chemical fertilizers. This has to be done at the headwaters and on the ridges. The hypoxic zone is an ecological disaster that could have been avoided and must be repaired.

I write a little. See Keyline Design Principles and my blog at Bioneers.org for a slice.

Thank you so much for reading my page. I LOVE you!

Hi Charley. Thanks for the heads up on the WiserEarth@Wikia page.

Having watched the movie "HOME" by Yann Arthus Bertrand, it's interesting to reflect that we've managed to create a society in which someone can be 'homeless' / 'landless'. It's also interesting to see that you've managed to be so aware of the important issues when so many people living in the comfort of their 'homes' can be so ignorant.

Keep up the good work!
