A Response - An Empire in Decline

In his response to An Empire in Decline, Kenny Ausubel writes, "The driving force behind this unprecedented globalized collapse is financial. Hazel Henderson has characterized conventional economics as 'a form of brain damage.' We’re experiencing its devastating effects right now. It rationalizes the insatiable predation of na… Continue

An Empire in Decline - JP Harpignies

JP Harpignies has been with Bioneers since 1990--he's filled roles as conference producer, copy-editor and writer (to name a few). In a recent blog post, JP writes: "The U.S.A. is an empire in decline. Mentioning that is an absolute taboo for any domestic political figure, but it is self-evident to most credible geopolitical analysts across the political spectrum worldw… Continue

What is the Era of Ecology?

Some of the most important tasks at hand is to make sure national and private reserves are supported for planting trees in the coming decades. No longer a nice past-time, but a pivot point for humanities health. To walk (hike, climb, ride, stumble) deep within primary rainforest is an experience few have known. To venture there, is to venture with oneself, with one's own aliveness. It has been one of the highlights of my life to work with and be in the… Continue

Ocean Garbage Patch Twice the Size of Texas?!?!

This New York Times article, by Lindsey Howshaw, comes as no surprise to me. But, I am shocked by the idea that there's a patch of mostly plastic garbage "roughly twice the size of Texas" floating in the Pacific Ocean, and it's doubling in size each year. After spending my childhood driving across the state in all directions, it seems absurd that a.) we'd let a mass of garbage collect to such a size… Continue

Even Rattlesnakes are Welcome

Today I stopped beside a Prairie rattlesnake on a country road near Satanta, Kansas. Many people purposefully run over any snake several times with their vehicle. I stopped, looked, took several pictures, and drove away. The snake was alarmed, but unharmed. My reasoning for allowing the snake to live is that I view rattlesnakes as valuable. Not only are they great predators--eating mice--but they are also natives of the prairie that fill an important niche. I know a poisonous snake bite could ma… Continue

A Lifetime of Change

My neighbor is dying. He’s 93 years old. He is fading away in the house in which his grandmother lived her life, a house that has been in his family since the nineteenth century – a family that traces its roots back on this land for four hundred years. Santa Fe is an old town, by American standards. I thin… Continue

A small but significant action: help stop mountaintop removal - FROM 350.org

Here's a message from 350.org... We know many of you are still recovering from the unbelievable organizing you did for the day of action on Oct. 24, and you know that as a campaign 350.org is mostly focused on the global negotiations coming up in Copenhagen. But sometimes things happen at inconvenient moments. And if you think it's inconvenient for us, imagine what it was like for residents of Pettus, West Virginia to wake up last week to find that the blasting had started on Coal River Mount… Continue

CRUDE the movie comes to Santa Fe for ONE WEEK ONLY!

CRUDE opens in Santa Fe for one week only (!), starting Friday, 11/06. The film's subject matter is the largest environmental lawsuit in global history--what's been dubbed the "Amazon Chernobyl" case. It is a class action lawsuit filed 16 years ago by 30,000 Ecuadoreans against Chevron, where the impending $27 billion judgement will no doubt set a precedent for how transnational corporations will be held accountable in the future. Three years in the making, this cinéma-vérité feature from a… Continue

If you need a laugh today, then this should do it !!! The Bible through the eyes of a child: Judas Asparagus

A child was asked to write a book report on the entire Bible. I wonder how often we take for granted that children understand what we are teaching? Through the eyes of a child: ** Judas Asparagus ** A very organic Interpretation of the Bible. In the beginning, which occurred near the start, there was nothing but God, darkness, and some gas. The Bible says,'The Lord thy God is one, but I think He must be a lot older than that. Anyway, God said, 'Give me a light!' and someo… Continue
