Chances are you've already seen Diane Schatz's Urban Ecotopia Poster—on the cover of Rainbook, reprinted in countless numbers of books and publications, or on a friend's wall. Its city street scene gives literal expression to the idea of urban self-reliance—where cottage industries, cooperative institutions and appropriate technologies combine to make the city a habitable and happy place to be. ... If your concern is reinhabiting the suburbs, you should visit Diane's Suburban Ecotopia, where the same potential can be seen in gardens, solar greenhouses and windmills. The Stepping Stones Poster is an elaborate bioregional landscape which vividly details local economies and energies at work and play. All three of these line- drawn posters are rich in detail and perfect for coloring. Consumer Guide to Woodstoves, Bill Day, Rainpaper No. 1, Rev.
