“But yield who will to their separation,
My object in living is to unite
My avocation and my vocation
As my two eyes make one in sight.
Only where love and need are one,
And the work is play for mortal stakes,
Is the deed ever really done
For Heaven and the future’s sakes.”
Robert Frost, from “Two Tramps in Mud Time”

This section is intended to be grounded in Understanding; see that section for a description of the relation between the two.

The following sections mirror the subsections of Resources in Understanding. Other ways of organizing actions will no doubt be needed as this section matures.

Actions by Type of Actor

The references include many prescriptions for action, some individual, some addressed to nations, NGOs, etc. My personal belief is that any actions have to be grounded in the current reality, as described in Understanding.

Personal

Group

Cultural

Appropriate Technology

Actions by Phase of Decline

This section uses some of the headings in Understanding..

Pre-Decline

Initial Decline

Full Descent

Stabilization
