[SustainableTompkins] Primitive Pursuits Day, Sat. 5/10, 10-5

[David Hessler]

Hi Folks,

Just wanted to put in a plug for Primitive Pursuits day tomorrow. This 
is an excellent opportunity to see how hands-on sustainable living, low 
(I prefer "ancestral") technology solutions can be useful, rewarding, 
fun, and natural. Primitive Pursuits gives a huge gift to our community 
every year they operate, and I hope some will take the time to come out 
and support their vision and their enthusiasm for the outdoors and 
simple living. Not to mention building a community of folks who have 
real skills for adapting to a lower energy density lifestyle.

Technology is only a tool, adapting our thinking is the solution. 
Primitive Pursuits day is an excellent way to step out of the box, and 
have some fun too!

Best Wishes,
David
