Facing Up to the Anthropocene

https://fotballsonen.com/2024/03/07/4nz83k0e Several years ago, I wrote about about an insurrection in the environmental movement.

The Allure of the Rural Idyll

https://ncmm.org/nd8bqkv6ewe When I want to escape the cacophony of civilization, I head to the country. I love to see all the grazing cows as I drive through a quaint rural backroad. The lush, wholesome scenery is exactly like the images on my organic milk and yogurt containers. Maybe I come across an antique shop, where I… https://asperformance.com/uncategorized/9hhcdoo Continue Reading…

The Demise of Easter Island's Eco-Collapse Parable

Tramadol Online Legal I have often asked myself, What was Jared Diamond thinking when he first learned that everything Easter Island symbolized to him might be wrong? Did the prize-winning, internationally celebrated writer ever look around at the accumulating evidence and think that maybe–just maybe–Easter Island isn’t the best metaphor for ecocide?
