He proposes a unique solution to this problem — <a title="Why Transition Culture?" target="_blank" href="http://transitionculture.org/essential-info/why-transition-culture/">the Transition response</a>, where we prepare ourselves for life without oil and sacrifice our luxuries to build systems and communities that are completely independent of fossil fuels (via <a title="Technology | Entertainment | Design" target="_blank" href="http://www.ted.com">TED.com</a>).</p> <p>I believe in the power of communities. In our (Gen-Y) lifetime, we will see the move towards re-urbanization and the development of a self-sustaining ecosystem. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.inhabitat.com/2009/10/29/james-laws-technosphere-is-a-benign-deathstar-for-dubai/">Not this type of ecosystem</a>.

Although this vision might be impossible right now, I see no reason why legislation cannot be changed in the next few decades to allow for the transition movement of creativity, adaptability, and imagination.
