The core of this site is its community. Having conscientious discussion about a post-Peak Oil future with smart, supportive, and experienced minds from all over the planet is an incredibly valuable resource.
At Thanksgiving time on this site, we like to reflect on the good fortune we share: that Chris had the courage to share his Crash Course vision with the world, that this like-minded community has flourished around it, and that we still have the gift of time to make progress in our resiliency-building preparations.
So, let’s make the most of the “virtual” Thanksgiving table we’ve created here at this site, and if you have a moment today, share a thought, story, or photo of what you’re thankful for this season.
And remember that while most of us are celebrating today with family and other loved ones, some of us aren’t (for reasons of illness, military service, isolation, etc). Sharing in this virtual community may be the most human interaction some of our community members will have today.
For myself, I have much to be grateful for. Re-reading last year’s Thanksgiving post, I find much to be true today. But one new development for which I am very thankful is the congregation of talent that has collected to redesign and rebuild this entire site.
Yes, you read that right: A brand-new version of this site is underway. It will address many of the requested improvements you’ve sent us over the past few years. And it’s going to look great, too (in my highly biased opinion).
It will be a few months until the new site launches, so more details will come in a later post once we’re ready to start sharing a beta version for you to check out.
But I think we can all agree that having an even better ‘virtual table’ to meet around in the future is a great reason for giving thanks.
Happy Thanksgiving!
