by Lynn Hadly
There was a time when we knew everyone in our neighborhoods, and may
have even been related to many of them, a happy tribal existence, of
sorts. All pitching in when one needed help, and every member filling a
need, but in the fast-paced world of today, we barely know our neighbors
much less what their needs or skills might be. Often friends,
neighbors, and family members can be there to help out, but there are
times when no one is available. Any part of our community, separated
from family and friends, such as elderly or minority groups, may not
have access to the help they need without paying for a service.
Subsistence Practices & Sustainability
by Fred Cervine
We humans will either acknowledge that we are a part of the earth, or we will
continue to move toward our own extinction. Consciousness of our
participation in the earth’s dynamic life processes cannot emerge so long as our
everyday lives continue to be ordered by the rituals of domination.
Rite of Passage
by Caren Black

Forget Shorter Showers
By Derrick Jensen
This piece originally appeared in the July/August issue of Orion Magazine

the nature and goals of the environmental movement—and about the
“magical thinking” that leads to a reduced ability to meet those goals.

By Derrick Jensen

“If our world is really looking down the barrel of environmental
catastrophe, how do I live my life right now?” "

By Derrick Jensen
Originally published in the September/October

I’m supposed to leave feeling inspired and energized, but instead I feel
heartbroken, discouraged, defeated, and lied to."
This Time We’re Taking the Whole Planet With Us
By Chris Hedges
Originally published for Truthdig on Mar 7, 2011
"As societies become more complex they become inevitably more
precarious. They become increasingly vulnerable. And as they begin to
break down there is a strange retreat by a terrified and confused
population from reality, an inability to acknowledge the self-evident
fragility and impending collapse."
A New Declaration
BY Derrick Jensen
Published in the Occupied Wall Street Journal February 1, 2012
"We hold these truths to be self-evident:
That the real, physical world is the source of our own lives, and the
lives of others. A weakened planet is less capable of supporting life,
human or otherwise."
Living Beyond the 'Folded Lie': On Life Before and After Collapse
BY Phil Rockstroh
Published April 9, 2012 by Common Dreams
"Wall Street is again flush with the electronic facsimile of the stuff
once known as money. But this is a Botox Recovery: A superficial
procedure, accomplished with a nerve paralyzing poison, reserved for the
wealthy whose vanity has driven them to transform their faces into
caricatures of corruption…to acquiring a countenance, frozen as a creepy
doll, incapable of showing emotion -- a grotesque simulacrum of the
human face."
