A #book in five minutes: This is a great overview and discussion of the current relevance of 'Small is Beautiful', which came out 50 years ago. It was a highly influential book that, sadly, fell out of favour. It was not only #Schumacher’s left-leaning view of #economics that became unfashionable; its calls for restraint and technological simplification did not fit into ideology of #green or ‘ethical’ consumerism which dominated the Western ecological debate from the early 1990s.

You can read it as an article
and also watch it as a video

‘Small is Beautiful – A Study of Economics as if People Mattered’

Some books are so well observed, so prescient, that even their supporters are seemingly overwhelmed by their material implications, and turn away from the truths they annunciate: ‘Small is Beautiful’ is such an example.

US researchers achieve historic fusion ignition

The first ever controlled fusion experiment to produce more energy from fusion than the laser energy used to drive it was conducted at the National Ignition Facility at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory on 5 December - a breakthrough that has been decades in the making.

The Big Green Lie

If you support the plan to turn 30% of Earth into Protected Areas, you’re supporting the biggest land grab in history. It’ll be a disaster for #people & #planet. If you care about Earth, watch & share!

The truth about Protected areas

In many parts of the world a Protected Area is where the local people who called the land home for generations are no longer allowed to live or use the natural environment to feed their families, gather medicinal plants or visit their sacred sites. This follows the model of the United States’ nineteenth century creation of the world’s first national parks on lands stolen from Native Americans. Many US national parks forced the peoples who had created the wildlife-rich “wilderness” landscapes into landlessness and poverty.

This is still happening to indigenous peoples and other communities in Africa and parts of Asia. Local people are pushed out by force, coercion or bribery. They are beaten, tortured and abused by park rangers when they try to hunt to feed their families or just to access their ancestral lands. The best guardians of the land, once self-sufficient and with the lowest carbon footprint of any of us, are reduced to landless impoverishment and often end up adding to urban overcrowding. Usually these projects are funded and run by big Western conservation NGOs. Once the locals are gone, tourists, extractive industries and others are welcomed in. For these reasons, local opposition to Protected Areas is growing.

X-rays reveal elusive chemistry for better EV batteries

Scientists used high energy x-rays to investigate the solid-electrolyte interphase, a chemical layer in batteries that's key to stabilizing lithium metal anodes. Chemists unraveled this complex chemical mechanisms that is crucial for boosting energy density.

Dimanche 27 novembre au marché de noël de Villeneuve Tolosane, vous pourrez gagner ce lot de 4 de mes cartes postales "hiver" à la tombola.

Le marché de noël de Villeneuve Tolosane est organisé par l'association Flamme d'Espoir pour les enfants du Togo.

Sinon, je les vends directement aussi, avec d'autres, sur mon stand ou à mon atelier sur rendez-vous ou par correspondance.

If you want to know what climate change is really about it is here.

This is the financialization of the atmosphere it is putting a price but not a value on the air we breath.

This is a way for banks and corporations to slip into every part of every life on this planet and take a cut this is not for our environment this is for their bonus.
