Toni's Permaculture Project Profile: Out of the dust emerges 'Oasis Yarraman' A 'think-tank' weekend for regenerating rural communities and broad-acre in Bingara, NSW Just when we thought all hope was lost for rural Australian broadacre farmers with earth degrading agricultural practices turning agriculture into agribusiness, with a burst of light and inspiration emerges a group of aging farmers, looking for a better way. There's no money in agriculture anymore ... no life either. On March 2nd and 3rd 2014, in the dining room of a local Bingara farmer's home, a ground breaking think-tank workshop was held to delve into the realms beyond current agricultural practices... permaculture. Included in the room of unexpected allies were cutting-edge farmers: A cattle farmer in his 70s from Glenn Innes who says in the past 40 years he has 'single-handedly transformed the land on his farm... the wrong way!’

Ecoliteracy.org The Five Ecoliterate Practices With a goal of nurturing students to become ecoliterate, the Center for Ecoliteracy has identified five vital practices that integrate emotional, social, and ecological intelligence.

They are described at greater length in our book, Ecoliterate: How Educators Are Cultivating Emotional, Social, and Ecological Intelligence (Jossey-Bass, 2012), from which the excerpt below is taken. We work to inspire teachers to use a variety of learning opportunities that help students consider and apply these practices in a diverse range of contexts. These practices allow students to strengthen and extend their capacity to live sustainably. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Excerpted with permission of the publisher, Jossey-Bass, a Wiley imprint.

Life and Leadership. Ecoliteracy.org Life and Leadership Sustainability is not an individual property, but is a property of an entire web of relationships. It is a community practice. This is the profound lesson we need to learn from nature. The way to sustain life is to build and nurture community. A sustainable human community interacts with other communities — human and nonhuman — in ways that enable them to live and develop according to their natures.

Let Us Begin with Courage. Trillion Fund: where normal people can invest (and save the world) July 5th, 2012 by Matt-Kennedy Good Last week we discussed the new JOBS Act, which allows startups in the US to use online crowds to raise funding. We noted the huge potential this has for not just the crowdfunding industry and startups, but the investment world as a whole. One platform that is planning to take advantage of these new laws (the UK is set to follow the US later this year) is Trillion Fund. Trillion Fund’s modest goal is to eventually raise a trillion dollars for sustainable energy projects. Just as ambitious is the fund’s goal of raising it in small increments from people looking to invest modest amounts of money. Trillion Fund is led by a diverse group of overachievers from the investment, tech and renewable energy industries.

Trillion Fund is an exciting concept. The first is financial markets and the way investment works at the moment. The second problem is energy generation. What minimum investment are you aiming for?

Ecoliteracy.org You Can't Do Just One Thing: A Conversation with Richard Heinberg Michael Stone: When you think about the systems view of life, what comes to mind? Richard Heinberg: A lot of things.

One is the phrase, "You can't do just one thing. " The world is filled with relationships, and anything we do is going to impact parts of the system that we may never have even thought of. The whole systems view stems from ecology, the study of the relationships between organisms and their environment — which is a discipline that got its start way back in the 1860s. This way of thinking is fundamentally different from other aspects of Western science, and has altered the way many of us see the world. When we look at human societies through the energy lens, we find ourselves seeing food as energy, technologies as ways of leveraging energy, and social complexity as a by-product of high rates of energy usage.

Ecoliteracy.org The Ecological Worldview: Hearing the Cries of the World I've been thinking recently about the ecological worldview and the ways in which comprehending the interdependence of all life serves to inspire empathy, compassionate action, and hopeful engagement. This perception of interrelatedness has been at the heart of the work of the Center for Ecoliteracy since our founding in 1995 and is grounded both in ancient knowledge and modern scientific understanding. We are encouraged lately to hear so many voices from around the world expressing this perspective in arenas from the planetary to the personal for the sake of life on Earth. A "High Level Meeting on Wellbeing and Happiness: Defining a New Economic Paradigm" was convened at the United Nations in New York in April 2012 by the government of Bhutan.

Sustentabilidade, saiba mais sobre ela aqui | Greenbest (Notícias) Fracking in Canada. Hydraulic fracturing is a controversial gas extraction method used in North America. Also known as fracking, it poses serious environmental and health concerns. What is fracking? Fracking involves pumping a cocktail of toxic chemicals mixed with water and sand as deep as 2.5 km (1.5 miles) into the earth. The high pressure effectively creates mini earthquakes that break up rock and release gas. The type of gas that fracking retrieves is found packed tightly in shale rock deep underground. Before fracking, this gas was impossible to retrieve, but as natural gas sources become increasingly scarce, more dangerous methods of recovering gas, such as fracking, are being used.

Water quantity concerns A fundamental concern about fracking is its immense use of fresh water. For shale gas, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) states that 2 to 5 million gallons (about 7.5 to 19 million litres) of water may be needed per well when drilling in a shale formation.
