DECLINE WITHOUT FALL? THE ECOTOPIAN POPULATION CHALLENGE
San Francisco May 20, Ecotopias population is declining slowly for about 15 years in a human way. The slow growth rate was reversed with education about birth control and abortion with life style and economic changes. This caused the population to drop by 17,000 while Americans grew by 3 million. American of course believe that only good can come from growth. The nuclear familys that americans have grown accusomed to have largley dissapered in favor of a clan based system often living in large old buildings. Men and women share in everything equally here (although I have noticed that women DO hold more power). Sexual  relationships are about the same with them as it is with us.

SSAVAGERY RESTORED: ECOTOPIA'S DARK SIDE
Marshall-by-the-bay, May 24, I have now seen the ritual war games. A group of Young men with about 25 on each side fight each other in the middle of a field. They hacked away at each other like idiots, when one of them was injured, the games ended and the cilibration began, I walked over and talked to the wounded man, a bunch of what i would guess would be nurses were tending to him. We talked and when I tired to get a picture, everybody freaked out. They say that this is an outlet for men, instead of war or violent crime. They pointed out that we use cars for this purpose. Only 50 die each year from it.

THEIR PLASTICS AND OURS
San Francisco, May 25. Theres a thing about Ecotopia, when you think that you can't be shocked anymore, you get shocked even more. This "shock" came to me when I discovered how much plastics Ecotopians used. Of course its biodegradable (And everyquickly biodegradable). It comes in every type and its made from living biological organisms (plants and such). Since almost all waste (except for 1%) is biodegradable ecotopian "trash" is dropped on the ground trampled upon and its returned to the soil. The metal industry is scraped based.
