Laurent Horvath
Fribourg, Switzerland Supporting since: 2010 Why do you support PCI?I really enjoy the diversity of the articles and their different point of views. It bring different insides you can not find in the traditional media. I found the articles very valuable and I want you to continue your work.
David I-D
New York, USA Supporting since: 2013 Why do you support PCI?I support PCI and its underlying ethos because coming to grips with our collective future, engaging in wise and purposeful “re-skilling,” understanding natural limits, building resilience into our local economies and home lives, and transitioning to a less energy intensive near-term future appears – to me, and to a great many like minds – the only sane, rational, and illuminated way forward. As with all sizable undertakings, we must do together that which we cannot do alone. PCI stands as a beacon for those ideas as it shines a light on the road ahead.
What issues concern you the most?Of enormous concern should be modern industrial society’s unapologetic, unrelenting, rapacious drawdown of all of earth’s resources, at rates that simply prohibit replenishment, the results of which promise ruination, privation, and misery for all — especially for those least able to bear such impacts.
The reality that we’re mostly doing nothing apart from accelerating this depletion, in the midst of notable climate destabilization and irrefutable evidence of a Sixth Great Mass Extinction, strikes me as the most important moral and ethical quandary of our time. According to the scholar Joseph Tainter, all previous civilizations (every one of which had experienced total collapse and then disappeared) had one common trait: they grew and stretched and over-expanded to the point where utter complexity itself proved to be its undoing. We, too, are so far along this fateful trajectory that with respect to the eventuality of our present civilization’s impending collapse, it’s really not a question of if, but rather, when.

Leigh Jardine
Colorado, USA Supporting since: 2017 Why do you support PCI?I knew I would give a gift to at least one worthy org., and when I saw Bart’s video, it was a total heart-melter.

Owen Jones
Oxfordshire, England Supporting since: 2015 Why do you support PCI?I donate 10% of my post-tax salary to charity. I think I got the idea from Giving What We Can. In my first year I mainly gave to major charities like Oxfam. In my second year I mainly gave to women’s rights charities. In my third year I decided that climate change was the most pressing issue facing the world and I should give to charities which try to change the public debate around climate change.

What issues concern you the most?Species annihilation and climate change — and the focus on capitalism as a primary cause.
