A Livable Path

By Eliza Daley, By my solitary hearth

I think we can all agree that a livable future is one that uses much less of this planet, one that manufactures less, that transports less, that does less.

Mini-Forest Revolution: Excerpt

By Hannah Lewis, Resilience.org

As the hyper-local landscape transformations prove themselves over time, though, perhaps the Miyawaki Method will become a centerpiece of Paris’s ostensibly biodiversity-sensitive landscaping strategy.

Power: Chapter 3. Power in the Holocene

By Richard Heinberg, New Society Publishers

Whether in family, school, work, or politics, we’re all immersed in the pathologies of power. If we’re lucky, we learn to navigate these waters without being harmed irreparably, and without harming others. Many are not so fortunate.

The Cost of Living Crisis & the Coming Crash

By Paul Mobbs, Free Range Activism Website

Driven by fossil fuels, powering new technologies, society (and the global climate) has been completely changed. But like all celebrations, that process is arguably coming to an end; and like all the best parties, those who have had a really good time don’t want it to stop!

Letter From The Farm | A Year In Review

By Mateusz Ciasnocha, ARC2020

One of the key learnings of 2021 is the necessity to think AND act in a systemic and holistic way – a manner that builds bridges rather than breaks them down, or questions existing ones.

A Great Custodian of the Collective Imagination

By Rob Hopkins, Transition Network

That there’s… In my dream world just one gathering that’s only about imagination. What are we dreaming into the world? How do we imagine our work will be of service to the future?

Democracy Rising 19: Dialogue in Dixie

By Hollie Cost, Resilience.org

The literal heart of Dixie (the U.S. Deep South) is the very last place one might expect to see a community rallying around the idea of acceptance and inclusivity—especially if the community is a small town in Alabama declaring itself a safe, nurturing, and inviting space for LGBTQ+ individuals.

The Stopwatch of Doom: How the Cult of Productivity Torpedoes Sustainability and Equity (Episode 56 of Crazy Town)

By Asher Miller, Rob Dietz, Jason Bradford, Resilience.org

Welcome to the dehumanizing world of scientific management, where business gurus and middle managers view workers as resources, and where a cult-like devotion to productivity has invaded almost all facets of daily life.

Just Transition Is About Systemic Change

By Dirk Holemans, Green European Journal

It’s important to frame just transition as an overarching framework that can guide us through a systemic transformation to a new social, ecological society that is equitable. It’s not about superficially greening the economy.

European sleeper trains are waking up

By Rapid Transition Alliance Staff, Rapid Transition Alliance

After a slow and steady decline, the sleeper train – a vital link to more sustainable, connected transport systems – is waking-up and getting back on track in Europe

The Deep Roots of the Racial Wealth Gap—and How We Undo It

By Ericka Taylor, YES! magazine

The growing divide between White wealth and Black wealth is a product of economic systems designed to extract wealth from Black, Indigenous, and other people of color and redirect it to the wealthy, almost uniformly White elite.

Just… Stop…

By Eliza Daley, By my solitary hearth

To effect real change you have to do something to create those changes. Change is work, not theatre. If you want tangible benefits, you have to craft something more tangible than a message.

The Uncertain Activist: more thoughts on uncertainty

By David Lambert, Resilience.org

I have taken to heart the insight that possibly, the way we respond to the crisis is part of the crisis; that we see this thing we call ‘the climate’ through a window whose frame is itself the product of our toxic culture.

By Haley Parzonko, Undisciplined Environments

Cairo  is an example of the trend of megacities with rapid growth in size and environmental inequality, marked by a dual reality between informal areas with high congestion and pollution levels and lack of green space, and exclusive new high-end desert cities with ample spacing and private access to nature.

Attention deficit disorder, the anticapitalist condition

A response to William Rinehart: Why lizards love degrowth

By Timothée Parrique, Timothée Parrique blog

In the very same month the IPCC publishes an 8-year in the making, almost 3,000-page report, I find it scientifically insulting that someone dares to cobble a few graphs together in defence of a crackpot hypothesis whose scientific legitimacy has come close to Flat Earth theory.
