CES-Led Symposium with David Orr on the Long View in Addressing the Ecological Crisis
Before a New Day
On the morning of November 9, 2016, people around Planet Earth awoke to the realization that Donald J. Trump had been elected President of the United States. For some this was the answer to a prayer, for others the foreboding of impending disaster. Some were confused and dismayed, still others were just relieved that a…
It Is Time to Gather Together
Donald Trump as our next president! I think I woke up the day after the election in an alternate universe! I keep on hoping tomorrow it will be different, but no, this is the reality we live in now. My biggest fear is for Earth. Even without Trump, so much is endangered, so much is…
My Political, Ecological, and Spiritual Commitments
After the cruelty and violence of his campaign, the worst I have experienced in my lifetime, I still feel aghast, unbelieving that my country chose Donald Trump to be its president-elect. I feel that so many barriers to protect civility and decency, diversity and justice have been breached. The result is that no one on…
An Aussie Reflection on the US Election
I have, I suppose, more emotional feelings about your election legacy than most Aussies. I lived in the US of A twice during impressionable years of my life. Now I am eighty, very healthy in body and mind, and I feel it important to say something! In 1960 I lived in a black ghetto in…
Both USA and Brazil
I’m considering the past presidential election in USA and the democratic crisis we undergo in Brasil. Both, I take, are determined by a capitalist economic model where power locally and internationally is the most pervading criteria adopted as its core element—its concept and bureaucratic management strategy. I am foreseeing, imagining, a basic dialogue comparing interconnected…
A Perilously Difficult Birth of the Ecological Age
As Norman Cousins wrote in the 1980’s in the introduction to Earth at Omega, “Global civilization must come into its own [in these latter days of the 20th century]or mankind’s magnificent experiment in self-awareness and socialization will abort in titanic catastrophe. A new organism is in the process of being born and will be born…
We The People – An Election Journal
After the 2016 election, I found myself going back over my own writings at the time of previous elections. My interest was always in who “we the people” really are and how we are striving (so imperfectly) toward a “more perfect union.” DECEMBER 2000: Two Consciences At millennium’s end, the hotly disputed Election of…
The Chronicle
CLIMATE Despite President-Elect Donald Trump’s stated intention to withdraw US participation in the Paris agreement on climate change, US Special Envoy for Climate Change Dr. Jonathan Pershing went to Marrakech, Morocco, to take part in the 22nd Conference of the Parties (COP), held November 10-18. The State Department communication said, “The United States goes to…
Are Ecozoans Now at War? Should They Be?
Note: An “ecozoan” is one who believes there are two primary ethical questions: (1) Does this promote the flourishing of life on Earth? (2) Does this promote full human development? In the wake of the November 8, 2016, US presidential election, much has been written about how we need to listen to each other and…
Letter to My Daughters, November 2016
Dear daughters, Though we can’t know what will happen, it is likely there will be much turmoil in our future days. Policies and laws will be put into place that bolster the ways in which capitalism harms our planet, and therefore our survival as a species. These laws will be motivated by the desire of…
