Reconstruction Project

Reconstruction Project

As we are reminded at nearly every moment unless there’s a great deal of change in a very short amount of time, the culmination of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere will result in a runaway greenhouse effect. 

That being said, aside from extreme temperatures and considerably more storms, we don’t know what the effects will be. We don’t know how our infrastructure system will fare. My bet is rather dismal. I anticipate that collapses in agricultural and transport systems will leave us in a place of self-reliance once again. 

This article is the preface to a project I need your help finishing. Our world has become so multidisciplinary that tethering together all of the resources we’ll need to rebuild is a big challenge. 

It may be 200 or 1,000 years before things calm down again. Fortunately, we have the advantage of 12,000 years of advancement in agriculture. We have the knowledge and the tools to do things correctly a second time around. 


In a way that is correct and in a way that is equitable, just, and sustainable. So here is the question posed to you and anyone who gets to read this: What is something we will need to rebuild?

From the basics of community agriculture to the sophisticated building of technology or medicine. In 2,500 words or less, provide a piece of the puzzle to rebuild a better and more humane society. 

Appalachia is a diverse rural place, and we will need to be flexible and smart to survive, but we can and will. But that will require preparation.
