What we do

Community based on Collapse awareness with adaptation-driven solutions.
What does that mean?
Because our Ecological Footprint has exceeded our Biocapacity, we have destabilized the ecosystem called earth. This destabilization has lead to Collapse, the effects of which, we are just begining to see. There is no way to stop, mitigate or prepare for Collapse. Accordingly, adaptation is the best approach to survival.

Our Mission

To survive Collapse as long as possible through strategic adaptation.
