Over the past 50 years, Thomas Teuwen has accumulated a unique mix of life experiences that, with the help of his Love, he has synergized into a world view and lifestyle that could dramatically increase the chances of survival for our civilization.
Thomas and his Love live on their urban farm, a 6,000 square foot town lot just a few blocks from the Salish Sea, where they grow a lot of food. While he is deeply engaged in the thrill of their low carbon, low consumption, carfree, plant based lifestyle as biophiliacs, he also feels a sense of responsibility. He wants to share his accumulated experience with future generations.

Love is a verb How one simple paradigm shift can change everything in your life

The Technological Convergence A potentially bright but treacherous future

Urban Farming Why growing even one plant for food can help change your world
Biophilia Why life on earth deserves our respect
Phantom Wealth Counting on the greater fool to secure our future
