Going Beyond Grass: Turning Lawns Into a Pollinators’ Paradise
What was once habitat can become habitat again. Habitat that helps sustain pollinators (and therefore a host of other species) can be created — or restored — just beyond the front porch.

Although the movement's actions are based on local struggles, it is part of a broader post-capitalist and post-development struggle. The movement aims to abolish the patriarchal, colonial, racist, and extractivist growth regime while building a new world here and now.

Keeping Farmland in Farmers’ Hands
The more I hear from farmers in the Midwest and elsewhere, the more I see people reimagining what legacy looks like and prioritizing the needs of future farmers. It’s encouraging to know so many people are thinking outside the box and working toward solutions that will help evolve agriculture.

State Power, Corporate Power – or ‘Little Powers’? A century of energy exploitation in Aotearoa New Zealand
How long will this race run, who will win out, and what will the vast majority of New Zealanders pay in money, pollution, extreme weather events, sea level rise, land degradation and loss of fellow life forms to subsidize the continuing exploitation of Papatuanuku (Mother Earth)?

A visit to Kailash Ecovillage
Personally, I would settle for a lot less than paradise. For me, paradigm shift would work, a condition where people simply behave in their own best interests which means living within the boundaries of the natural world and cooperating with each other for the common good. That would look a lot like Kailash Ecovillage.

Only one nation is self-sufficient in healthy food
Humans and human societies are ecologically active and dependent agents and the food-agro-ecosystems need to follow similar principles as other ecosystems in order to be sustainable in the long run.

The aftermath of floods, hurricanes and other disasters can be hardest on older rural Americans – here’s how families and neighbors can help
Hurricanes, tornadoes and other extreme weather do not distinguish between urban and rural boundaries. But when a disaster strikes, there are big differences in how well people are able to respond and recover – and older adults in rural areas are especially vulnerable.

The Writing on the Wall
I mean, I’m not sure I had ever encountered anything but effusive praise for the development of writing. Look what it enables us to do! (Exactly, say the extinct—if they could.) Yet the whole time, the dark side of written language was hiding in plain sight. The writing was on the wall.

The Invention of Gender Roles: Division by Design
Far from exonerating my gender for its role in sustaining patriarchy, I insist that men must now take the lead in dismantling it—decisively and without delay. But patriarchy is not the only destructive force we face. Interlocking ideologies—racism, classism, colonialism, transphobia—continue to shape our world, and most people, in some way, still participate in sustaining them. This work demands collective responsibility from people of all gender identities, because these systems harm us all.

Future Sustainable Neighbourhood
We may be very smart creatures, but we are still fundamentally animals in a landscape. If modernism ever de-complexifies, as many think it will, like all civilizations in the past, we would be smart to set in place now the infrastructure, skills and knowledge we’ll need to thrive – together.

The constitutional republic in danger
Let us call to those better angels of our nature which have expanded democracy and justice over these 249 years, working in the places where we live to organize power and forward the ideas that will make a just and sustainable future. That is the ground for a New American Revolution.
