I recently read an excerpt from Derek Jensen’s book titled “Endgame” that listed ten (of the twenty) premises of industrial civilization and the inherent problems with this form of living.  The writing, though perhaps considered extreme and alarmist by some, has correctly described the problem (in my opinion).  I wanted to expand on these ten premises that Jensen has authored with my own take on what the opposite end of the spectrum looks like.  I have chosen to present only the first ten premises to keep the writing relatively brief.
