On November 20th, 2011, hundreds of people across the world came together with their family and friends to take a picture occupying the rooftop of a community building that they are working to take solar!

Whether we are talking about fundamental notions of property or that which motivates us to work in the first place, today new social patterns are emerging that better serve our networked world. The story we are telling is one of hope and new possibility. While many conventional institutions are crumbling, in this moment there is a unique chance for humanity to fundamentally reinvent its presence on this planet.

The Market Is Lying: Why We Must Tax Carbon, Not Subsidize It | Truthout
Remarkably diverse groups across the US political spectrum are calling for a high and rising price on carbon as part of their deficit-reduction strategies.
