Finding our center in moral courage and compassion

By Patrick Mazza, The Raven

We can find answers in summoning moral courage, finding our center and being present in it, confronting the realities of the world from that center, keeping future generations in focus and living as much as possible in a sense of kindness to others.

Nuclear Fusion Won’t Save the Climate But It Might Blow Up the World

By Joshua Frank, TomDispatch

Sadly, fusion won’t save the Arctic from melting, but if we don’t put a stop to it, that breakthrough technology could someday melt us all.

Greta Thunberg’s arrest shows why we must abolish the Energy Charter Treaty

By Theresa Kofler, Niels Jongerius, Open Democracy

If we are to have a fighting chance for a future free from catastrophic climate change, we need 21st-century solutions. Finally abolishing the Energy Charter Treaty is a good place to start.

The Power Podcast: Episode 9 How to Navigate Power with Wisdom

By Richard Heinberg, Resilience

My goal isn’t to come up with new solutions to humanity’s converging crises—because until we have sufficient wisdom, we won’t recognize real solutions, even if they already exist. First wisdom, then action.

Our Planet Versus Plastic Bags—A Tale of Two Cities

By Erika Schelby, Independent Media Institute

With oceans, countries, populations, and governments inundated by a plague of plastic worldwide, it may be useful to focus on the single-use plastic bag choices made by two cities, in the same U.S. state, located at a distance of only 64 miles (104 km) from each other.

A review of One Hundred Years of Insanity, by Bob Lloyd

By Murray Grimwood, Resilience.org

This book – and others it references, particularly Donella Meadows’ Thinking in Systems’ - should be a standard read for university students, but I suspect it will only be read by those who are already-there, or at least already well-on-the-way.

January: Planting an Idea.

By Zia Gallina, La Bella Terra

Once we understood the intrinsic value of the natural world, not just what it contributes to our well-being, our economy and the local ecology, there was no going back.

The Enemy’s Ring and Our Ethical Quandary

By Alice Loyd, Food is the Key

But I like a scenario in which the heroic masses reach the end of their tolerance before that happens. They—we—rebel, withdraw, dismantle, and replace the evil practices with more ethical ones while the planet is still livable.
