Returning to traditional values in the age of scarcity -- "We have an abundance of land and all the renewable resources that go with land; we have the tools and the scientific understanding to use them; we have time to change; and most valuable of all, we have an incredibly rich cultural heritage to draw upon...Our ancestors chartered a new continent. We will be charting a new way of life, one that can be sustained long after the last coal seam has been emptied. Ours is the finer challenge." Fron the Preface.
