Like Water and Wind | Resisting Massive Offshore Energy Projects in the Pacific Northwest

Journal Article

The Pacific Ocean is the largest wilderness on the planet, home to millions of species. Life is most abundant near the shore: undersea reefs, kelp forests, seabirds, and whale migrations. Yet from Northern California to Alaska, the coast of the Pacific Northwest is increasingly threatened by industrial-scale offshore energy projects.

Nature’s Guide to Ending Our Diet Wars

Journal Article

Can we agree to re-integrating plants and animals as they were evolved to live together? We can do this by promoting integrated organic farms, as well as by regreening desertified land. The clear energy efficiency of doing so will actually mitigate climate change much better than simply going vegan—and going vegan will still be just as available an option, side by side with other diets.

Could it realize that because of this basic blunder about Darwin’s message, we had, in fact, ended up with dystopia instead of utopia?

Physics and Spirituality

Journal Article

...this apparently material world is only the phenomenal representation of a much deeper universal reality. Such an assertion is not easily understood, but it does suggest that, if we accept the notion of a cosmic ecosystem, stewardship is not merely related to the material world of people and planet, but indeed is spiritual stewardship.

Freeing the Dragon

Journal Article

A world without fossil fuels is only possible if we change the system completely. That means building an alternative which works at least as well in all these diverse fields, but which is regenerative instead of destructive. We need to completely change the system if we want to liberate the dragon.

The Galileo Project

Journal Article

The world today is dominated by science and by its underlying assumptions, which are seldom articulated even though they generate not only a methodology but also a worldview or philosophy.
