The ideas behind Deep Green Resistance are confrontational, focusing on direct action to damage/bring down the dominant and destructive societal systems.
"We are profoundly grieved and enraged at the destruction of our planet and at all systems of human oppression. We are passionate about creating a world based on mutual aid, love, justice, and connection to the living world. We want to understand the roots of the dominant culture in order to most effectively end it."
Earth Activist Training (EAT) weaves the principles of permaculture, earth-based spirituality, and regenerative activism into a captivating curriculum that blends classroom lecture and experiential exercises with practical, hands-on learning opportunities.
Start with permaculture as the foundation. "Permaculture" is regenerative design: a set of ethics, principles, and practices that create beneficial relationships and whole systems. Permacuture meets human needs sustainably and heals damaged natural systems. Permaculture works with nature, or rather, teaches us to "work as nature working."
EAT began in late 2000 when author and activist Starhawk and permaculture designer and master teacher Penny Livingston-Stark asked some new questions: "What can permaculturalists and activists learn from each other that would make each more effective? What skills do people need to know in order to really 'save the planet'? How can we teach these skills in ways that ripple out to others?" Penny and Starhawk combined their many years of knowledge and created the first Earth Activist Training, held the following spring. EAT took root and flourished.
A movie being distributed online that takes an in-depth look at renewable fuel sources, such as bio-diesel, ethanol and vegetable oil. It explores the interaction of the petroleum industry and alternative fuels over the last 150 years, and examines the global impact that bio-fuels can have on our future.
There is no more important cause than the call to action to save our planet. This is a movement about change – as individuals, as a country, and as a global community. We are all contributors to global warming and we all need to be part of the solution. Join the 507,913 supporters of the Stop Global Warming Virtual March, and become part of the movement to demand solutions to global warming now.
Pesticides are hazardous to human health and the environment, undermine local and global food security and threaten agricultural biodiversity.
Yet these pervasive chemicals are aggressively promoted by multinational corporations, government agencies, and other players in this more than $35 billion a year industry.
PANNA (Pesticide Action Network North America) works to replace pesticide use with ecologically sound and socially just alternatives. As one of five PAN Regional Centers worldwide, we link local and international consumer, labor, health, environment and agriculture groups into an international citizens' action network. This network challenges the global proliferation of pesticides, defends basic rights to health and environmental quality, and works to insure the transition to a just and viable society.
