rapid unravelling and the demise of adolescent america 2008-05-24 07:00:45 More sound words from Carloyn Baker.
I believe that the collapse of civilization, now accelerating at dizzying speed, is indeed a collective, planetary initiation of the human species.

Meanwhile, overfishing has created some 150 “dead zones” — oxygen-free patches of ocean that can sustain no life — around the world: Some of these patches, Grescoe tells us forebodingly, “are now as large as Ireland.” In search of seafloor-dwelling species such as the trendy monkfish — long ignored, then popularized [...
vandana shiva: why we face both food and water crises 2008-05-30 07:40:31 Interview with Vandana Shiva on Alternet.
Vandana Shiva: One aspect of the inconsistency is between the principles of Gaia, the principles of soil, the ecology, renewability, how the atmosphere cleans itself and the laws of the global marketplace.

david strahan (last oil shock author) interviewed on BBC newsnight 2008-06-07 09:35:15 We need to slow down, re-evaluate what is important in our lives, stop wasting resources and releasing carbon for purposes that don’t improve our lives… the more we do to prepare for a peak oil world now, the better our lives will be later. It is going to be painful, but as David says, if [...] Read more:interviewed
the money system in a nutshell: how the rich get richer and why we never do 2008-06-09 13:10:34 A fantastic article on Bella Ciao website.
The first step was to get everybody dancing to their tune, get them obsessed with the idea that it’s all about getting money. That was easy to do with the aid of Hollywood and TV sets. They presented the public with made up images of people living “the good [...] Read more:richer

food crisis: Britain just nine meals from anarchy 2008-06-09 05:47:55 Well no. Anarchy is actually a political system without central government, where people take more personal responsibility and accountability for each other and their actions. In this article, originally in the Daily Mail, and reposted on countervalue.com, what they mean is really chaos. This is a pretty frightening article.
The scenario goes like this. Imagine a [...] Read more:Britain
dead zones grow in the gulf of mexico 2008-06-10 08:55:27 How U.S. farming policy leads to ‘dead zones,’ huge marine areas where nothing can grow, by Kent Garber.
Each spring, the cycle of death begins anew. Nitrogen and phosphorus, leached from fertilizer, pass from farmland into streams, from streams into rivers—the Mississippi, the Potomac, the Susquehanna—and then, finally, into some of the country’s great bodies of [...]
