“Ten years ago I could never have imagined I’d be doing this,” says
Greg Pal, 33, a former software executive, as he squints into the late
afternoon Californian sun. “I mean, this is essentially agriculture,
right? But the people I talk to -- especially the ones coming out of
business school -- this is the one hot area everyone wants to get into.” He means bugs. To be more precise: the genetic alteration of bugs --
very, very small ones -- so that when they feed on agricultural waste
such as woodchips or wheat straw, they do something extraordinary. They
excrete crude oil.

In scanning the array of potential disasters that are rapidly headed
our way I could only identify one response that was broad, deep, and
inspired enough to deal with the cascading problems that are building
steam and headed our way. And that was to figure out a way to help as
many people as possible raise their level of consciousness as fast as
possible. Specifically, that meant finding ways to accelerate personal
growth, deepen our sense of connectedness (to one another, the rest of
life, and the divine), and, eventually, begin to tap into the magical
power of collective intelligence...

A few years ago, Kathleen Breault was just another suburban grandma,
driving countless hours every week, stopping for lunch at McDonald's,
buying clothes at the mall, watching TV in the evenings. That was before Breault heard an author talk about the bleak future of

| Preparing For Hard Times
|

For three years, my husband has talked about taking to the hills. About
buying a smallholding on Exmoor where, with our four-year-old daughter,
we can safely survive the coming storm -- famine, pestilence and a
total breakdown of society. I would wait for his lectures to finish,
then return to my own interests. I had no time for the end of
civilisation. As an editor on a glossy magazine until a few months ago,
I was too busy. There was always a new Anya Hindmarch bag to buy, or a
George Clooney premiere to attend. But recently, I've wavered. Much of what he has been predicting has
come true: global economic meltdown, looming environmental disaster, a
sharp rise in oil and food prices that has already led to the rationing
of rice in the US, and riots in dozens of countries worldwide.
