Neville Dunton

Bay of Plenty, New Zealand Supporting since: 2017 Why do you support Post Carbon Institute?

PCI can touch so many more people than we can; I and my wife live in New Zealand we teach the powerful design processes of permaculture and spread practical know-how amongst our communities in an effort to create / add to the resilience and permanent abundance of our place. But, our population is tiny compared to the human market that PCI can reach. We need a “beacon”, a burning flame to attract the wandering minds, eyes, and ears of the global community. PCI seems to me to be an inimitable lighthouse filled with sound research, cautions, and commentary worthy of our support and it is simply that which has been our inspiration to donate.

What issues concern you the most?

The consequences of ever growing consumption of Earth’s finite resources and exponential growth of human population must be made known to all sentient creatures and Resilience.org is one broadcaster of this information that I can rely on for objective, non-judgmental commentary and reminders of our steady slide towards extinction if we are unable or unwilling to change our individual / collective practices.

Imperative of creating awareness of systemic perspectives, of the principles and function of ecosystems, understanding how Neoliberalism has undermined planetary systems leading to collapse, and necessity of promoting smaller scale alternatives.

running of time to save planet; enormous immediate action required; maybe begin with issue too often ignored; serious cut back on consumption; stopping buying things one already has or buying stuff one not really need

climate and race as well as prejudice against the other

John Flanagan

Oregon, USA Supporting since: 2011 Why do you support Post Carbon Institute?

Because of the presence of Richard Heinberg and other Fellows in PCI and the books they have authored. From reading their books I have learned about the important issues currently facing us, like climate change, end of economic growth, peak oil approaching, etc.

What issues concern you the most?

Ramifications of climate change, dealing with problems raised by end of economic growth, and transition to non-fossil fuel future
