Homer's "spit" is a skinny tail of land that dips into Kachemak Bay at the foot of the peninsula, and a tourist strip full of bars, fish markets, and restaurants that serve fish and chips. I wonder if any of those fish come right off the docks that line the spit.
Can we imagine a way of life that is more integrated and less isolating? Can we imagine an economy that is more resilient, less damaging to the natural systems on which we rely, and conducive to local autonomy? Communities around the country and the world are asking these questions and experimenting with more cooperative and sustainable ways of doing things. I've come to stay and work on one such community, an ecovillage in southern Alaska, to learn what I can from their ongoing efforts.
