 “Before 9/11, the idea of terrorists taking down both World Trade Center buildings was considered "unthinkable" for most people. Here's the "unthinkable" scenario for global warming:
“Global warming will continue to cause the ice on the earth's poles to melt, triggering the Gulf Stream to migrate several thousand miles to the south, lowering by five degrees the average temperature in Europe and much of North America in 10 years or less.”
“…Meanwhile, this abrupt climate change would unleash a series of monster hurricanes and floods across Central America and the Caribbean, making the 2,000 Haitians killed this September in a single storm seem like a minor event.”
-A quote by Adam Werbach, formerly the President of Sierra Club, in a Speech given in December 2004, which was before Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita which both occurred less than 11 months later

Can You Imagine Preparing for Peak Oil and Global Warming by Creating a Self-Sustainable, Progressive Town with the Help of other Progressive Communities And Organizations?
The Imagine Seven (Progressive Communities Sharing One Property in One Community) Project is dedicated to a a goal in which 7 communities, large families, Social Justice Diversa-Villages or not-for-profit organizations share one piece of land. The piece of land will be between 70 and 350 acres in size. Although the piece of land will be located somewhere within the USA (as yet to be decided) people from all over the world are welcome to get involved.
Email updates on the creation of the community are available by subscribing to our email list.

"Imagine" by John Lennon
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
You, you may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You, you may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us...
...and the world will live as one.
