More and more people are opening their eyes and realizing that the world is going to change, and the changes will impact everyone. As a result, more and more on-line businesses are being created to asist and supply those of us who have our eyes open. They are potentially valuable places for us to shop for things that will come in handy after the Transition.
This page is just starting, so if you know of any other businesses that should be listed here, please send them to the webmaster.
Real Goods
This company has been in business since 1978, mainly selling
solar energy systems; now they're re-inventing themselves to
be a source of all kinds of sustainable living supplies.
Their paper catalog begins with "Don't buy from this catalog!
... Instead, we invite you to shop online at our website,
where you'll find 10 times as many items [and] save tons of
paper (literally)." Check them out - odds are, you'll find
that thing you know has to exist but can't find anywhere,
there.
Lehman's
"Jay Lehman founded the store in 1955 to serve the local
Amish and others without electricity. His vision was to
preserve the past for future generations. `I was concerned
that some day the Amish would not be able to maintain their
simple ways of life because these products would no longer
be available,' he said. His goal was, and still is, to
provide authentic, historical products to those seeking a
simpler life.
He thought, rightly so, that one day no one would be making
butter churns, apple peelers and drying racks. So, he was
going to craft, stock and sell these generation-spanning
products." His
Non-Electric Catalog
is of special interest.
