If we really want to help the economy ...

We created this economy with both its "goods" and its "bads". The bads have outweighed the goods for some time now, and the realization of this is only now staring to become common knowledge.

It's time to start building the next economy. However, it's going to take a lot more than buying that new fridge, new house or new car. It's going to take some new thinking.

Many of the goods and services we currently rely on for our daily needs are almost totally dependent on oil. Not only do our products travel thousands of miles to get to our doors, requiring massive supplies of cheap energy in the shipping process, they also contain oil. Everything from plastics, household appliances, to processed foods is derived in some way from petroleum products.
