ENERGY FROM SUN AND SEA
Punta Gorda, May 31, Ecotopians get there power from the sea, such as the sea water following through there solar panles that increase the power. The old nuclear plants have had there safety quardourpled with the hot water pipes being extened a mile out to sea. New power plants that don't pollute are not a popular idea because of power lines. Geothermal power has expaned, as well as other types of hydro, solar, tital, wind, and ocean power sources. Lou swift is the predominate leader in Ecotopias power.
COMMUNICATIONS IN ECOTOPIA: PRESS, TV AND PUBLISHING
San Francisco, June2. Being a reporter, naturally I want to know about Ecotopia media. While San Francisco use to have about 6 large media outlets, now it enjoys many smaller ones. Of course after independence media was broken up. Printing here is widspread and public as even school childern can do it.
ECOTOPIAN EDUCATIONS SURPRISES
San Francisco, June4. Schools could not be more different. One teacher told me that there school system is "biology" dominated (theres look like farms), while ares are dominated by physics as she told me. There is no school office, there are about a half dozen teachers who teach until they feel the lesson is done, as there is no bell. The skills of hunting, fishing, farming, woodworking, naturalist, bioligist, and other "natural" professions are learned. There is only one hour of real education per day. Working on looms or in factorys are done for about two hours a day. Older kids seem to teach younger kids and to sum the school system up is to say that it is daily ecotopian life in a learning manner.

WOMEN IN POWER: POLITICIANS, SEX, AND LAW IN ECOTOPIA (OH SHIT!)
San Francisco, May 27, The dictator or should I say bitchtator is Vera Allwen leader of the female survivolist party. Meeting have no agenda but concernes are voiced. Although this government may seem like a power crazy regiem like the naizs it acutally has a bill of rights based on are own (although its original form would be unsutable to Americans). The evils of armys of lawyers have not escaped ecotopia as they are as plagued with them as we are. The only real crime in ecotopia is pollution so american criminals come on over because its a free for all as long as you don't pollute. Public pressure has caused industrys to go clean, but the Ecotopian government did go off the deep end in regulation. Ecotopians are almost devoted to water as they are to trees as waterways have become major factors in daily life.
WORKERS CONTROL, TAXES, AND JOBS IN ECOTOPIA
San Francisco, May 28. This Economy is communal, and it works better than ares. Capital fled after the revolution along with a few thousand people. The people took over the bussiness, this was chaotic but not anarchic. Taxes are state based and over everyone. The Ecotopian arms establishment is about the size of canadas.
RACE IN ECOTOPIA APARTHEID OR EQUALITY?
San Francisco, May 29, I havn't seen many non white people, I have just now learned why. After independence minority groups moved into racial onclaves, such as the historic chinatown, east bay (the black community), and other racial onclaves have become city-states with there only real interaction with the nation being on forigen policy. A few prefere to live outside these areas. There have been proposals to move the black community to a valley bordering california. These communities, and espesically the black community seem more open to the world, I even saw a few nice cars. Income is higher, because as one man told me "were making up for lost time". After independence those who commited "non-crimes" under Ecotopia law were released. The black community has lead exports from ecotopia and has brought in swahili and they have sent aid to blacks in south africa. In south africa whites cause the segrigation here the black do it.

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.

THE ECOTOPIAN ECONOMY: FRUIT OF CRISIS
The rumor that Ecotopians are lazy after hearing about the 20 hour work week. This however has given a great deal more jobs. The Ecotopians destroyed the old economy after independence and put the workforce back to work removing the old and building the new. There where some discomforts, and major companies had to beg for money after being use to dominating politics, but there was no real pain.
IN ECOTOPIA'S BIG WOODS
I have noted many times before in my reports wood is a major building resource here. Both rural and urban people love trees. They almost have a fetish for it. Reforestation programs have supplied a constant environmentally friendly supply of lumber. Forestry camps have replanted thousands of acres of trees. There's no clear cutting, and forest are mixed. People who wish to use wood in Ecotopia have to work in the forestry camps to make up for there impact. There's a lot of goofing off but when they do work they did as sacred work. Electric tractors do most of the heavy work with almost no impact on the land. The camps have log cutting machines but not there not sawmills. Lumber is bought from mills in more open areas and are solely for domestic consumption. Diesel truck are still used but people argue about it. Farms and ranches are still doing fine even with all this.
THE UNSPORTING LIFE OF ECOTOPIA
No sports! Baseball, Football, basketball all gone! "Sport pages" still "exist" if you can call it that but they cover weird sports Skiing, cross-country, tennis, hiking/camping/hunting/fishing, table tennis, volleyball and other god awful individual sports are covered. Almost everyone here is extremely fit due to there natural lifestyle and lack of cars. Schools are have children outside most of the time, learning skills and things about nature. Hunting fills freezers with meat in many homes. "War games" fill the male need for violence no more information.
ECOTOPIAN TV AND ITS WARES
TV in Ecotopia is a interactive high tech communication device much like a phone it allows people to interact with each other. TV does not Ecotopians, Ecotopians rule TV here. A decent thing here that commercials are mere announcements. There are special but expensive adapter that can pick up American TV. Consumer items like electric can openers, hair curlers, frying pans, carving knifes,
Of course TV shows a lot of nature. TV has become Ecotopian here. Ecotopians have little more than what they need both at home and when they travel. Things here are simple and people then fix there own items.

FOOD, WASTE, AND STABLE STATE.
Ecotopia has a minister of food, yes, food, nothing else. (Although the department does over ag). Keeping in with its "green" way of life the food here is green to, literally. Instead of getting an interview the secretary herself, I got a assistant deputy, who lectured me in the worst office I've ever seen. More like a lab than a office. The man was non impressive those this kind of position, but that Ecotopia for you. We sat down on cushions on the sunny floor and he starts talking about waste. Everything after independence, waste, scrapes, everything went into a recycling system and dumped back on the fields as organic fertilizer. This of course was expensive and they were called "sewer socialist". But as with every word I've said in this country, I got a free lecture with this to about how its better than are system. And then it moved on to food. After independent production was scaled down and became organic. This to came like a lecture. This system is moral and the food does taste good and its not expensive. I asked him about what part of civilization they were going to destroy next he responded by saying he would only respond to food related questions.
CAR-LESS LIVING IN ECOPTOPIA'S NEW TOWNS
Life has become urbanized or is now in rural capacity. Electric vehicles are made in cities and then bring food in from the country. These vehicles are made in workshop type style NOT in a assembly style manner. Factories are surrounded by neighborhoods with library's, bakeries, and other such things. Almost everything here is made out of the now plentiful wood resources. These wooden constructions are surrounded by various types of greenery. Streets are named NOT numbered. Food is brought home in bags or bikes. Large numbers of people are able to fit into very small areas. The water here is crystal clear and clean. Fishing and swimming take place right of the dock. Manufacturing here is easy and lighthearted. Living conditions have turned old suburbs into highly packed but compact areas filled with natural areas.
