Every year on #April #22, #Earth #Day marks the #anniversary of the #birth of the modern #environmental #movement in 1970. We are honoring Earth Day with the #futurist #Buckminster #Fuller (1895-1983), an American #architect, #systems #theorist, #author, #designer, #inventor and #philosopher. Fuller believed human societies would soon rely mainly on #renewable #sources of #energy, such as #solar- and #wind-derived #electricity.

Fuller developed numerous inventions, mainly architectural designs, and popularized the widely known #geodesic #dome; #carbon #molecules known as fullerenes were later named by scientists for their structural and mathematical resemblance to geodesic #spheres.

Amid the ongoing ‘ #FreedomConvoy’ #protests, PM #JustinTrudeau has triggered the #EmergenciesAct, claiming the #movement threatens #Canada’s security. We speak with #pastor #HenryHildebrandt, who says the more #repressive the #government is, the more people will #support the #protesters.
Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative.

Pandemic Brooding: Can the Permaculture movement survive the first severe test of the energy descent future?

https://holmgren.com.au/writing/pandemic-brooding/
by David Holmgren

"Outsourcing personal responsibility for due diligence to authorities is a risky strategy at the best of times; in times of challenge and rapid change the risks escalate. …

For many permies, the pandemic seems another example of hyped threat like the ‘war on weeds’, ‘war on drugs’, ‘war on terror’ used to manipulate the population to comply with some version of disaster capitalist1 solutions. Most sceptics acknowledge the virus as real, but not as dangerous as the cure in lockdowns and other draconian measures. The ‘war on the virus’ seems just as futile or misguided as all the other wars on nature, substances and concepts. So much for trying to have nuanced discussions about viruses as an essential and largely symbiotic mechanism for the exchange of genetic material and mediation of evolution!

While the closure and loss of cafés, gyms and hairdressers might not be a great loss, except to those directly affected, many of us have noticed that the official response to the pandemic tends to follow a pattern of support and strengthening of dominant corporations while leading to the weakening and likely collapse of small business and community self-organised activities. "

"The sovereignty of persons to choose freely how they grapple with the tension between autonomy and the needs of the commonwealth is not just an ideal from western Enlightenment civilisation working out how to apply the gift of fossil fuel wealth. It is a fundamental expression of how the ecology of context is constantly shifting, and that all systems simultaneously express life through bottom-up autonomy of action and top-down guidance of collective wisdom.

In times of great stability, the distilled wisdom of the collective, embodied in institutions, carries human culture for the long run. Sometimes the sanctions on the individuals who rejected the rules of the collective were harsh and, according to modern thinking, arbitrary but over long periods of relative stability, those rules kept society working. In times of challenge and change it is, ironically, dissidents at the fringes who salvage and conserve some of the truths of the dying culture into the unknown future to craft new patterns of recombinant culture…"

Before They Fall

Before They Fall

Conservation groups, First Nations, and scientists come together in this timely, upcoming short film, as a decades-long battle to protect endangered old-growth forests in BC escalates at Fairy Creek (the last unprotected, intact valley on southern Vancouver Island).

The film explores the characters’ individual relationships with ancient forests, and why it’s imperative we collectively protect them. It touches on potential solutions, like a transition away from old-growth in the future of logging, and Indigenous sovereignty.

Visionary realism: A green future beyond capitalism

#ClimateChange is real, it’s here, and it’s an #emergency. But #history has shown us that those who were supposed to lead us out of this #crisis are so blinded by #capital and #powerful #private #interests that they’ve decided #Earth itself is a small price to pay for the yachts, mansions, private jets and #record #profits of the 1%.

Wolff Responds: Capitalism's False Defenses

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjHch15JHVg

'Prof. #Wolff refutes the 2 main arguments made to absolve #capitalism from the #injustices and #inequalities it creates; the first, that capitalism has increased our #standard-of-living, and the second, that unlike #socialism, capitalism is not responsible for #mass #deaths, #colonialism.

#ElizabethWathuti at COP26: "Please open your hearts"

'Today’s #young #people are coming of age just as the #stable #climate that has allowed #previous #generations to #thrive on our #planet begins to visibly #break #down—and just before our last chance to stop it falls out of reach. #Leaders keep #praising young people for standing up and #protesting. But #saving the #world needs #decisions from the leaders. Decisions that #prioritize the #lives of the #people and the planet.'
