       Heirloom breeds of crops and livestock—uniquely adapted to their environments, resilient to changing climate—hold promise for the future.

       Maybe, in the future, crops will not need to be produced as abundantly, to travel so far, when we don't have "cold chains" and gasoline. Maybe no one breed of livestock *should* be grown at industrial scale.

       I've been thinking about this kind of thing a lot.Mostly I am anxious about losing indoor plumbing, and how we're going to keep warm in the winter in buildings not designed for fireplaces.I'm probably just paranoid

       @nev Earth closets are not a big deal. They're easy to build and easy to maintain, and don't smell nearly as much as you'd think. For the rest, move out of cities and get a woodstove.
