Join us for an online talk with environmental journalist Eugene Linden.
In his new book, Fire and Flood, Linden examines the role of business interests in muddying messages from scientists and derailing attempts to galvanize the public. He tells a story of big monied interests doing what they do to protect short-term profits against longer-term threats. One of the through-lines of the book is the insurance industry's response to climate change, which for a long time was painfully slow, but recently has pivoted quite dramatically. Florida and California are seeing the housing insurance sector retreat from entire regions because of the unmanageable risks of fire and floods some believe that the housing markets in parts of those two states are another bad season or two away from collapse. In a larger sense, big business, which for so long has been a woeful headwind to needed change, is waking up to the need to act very quickly now, as the long term has become the near term with terrifying speed.

Reconciling Ways of Knowing Series, Dialogue 3: "Braiding Ways of Knowing"
This dialogue originally aired on Thursday, September 24 at 8:30 am Pacific / 10:30 am Central / 12:30 pm Atlantic.
Known for her award-winning books Gathering Moss: A Natural & Cultural History of Mosses and Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teaching of Plants, amongst many other ways in which she has had an impact as a teacher, researcher, and writer, Dr. Robin Wall Kimmerer spoke in dialogue with friend, colleague, renowned ethnobotanist and moderator Dr. Nancy Turner on the theme of Braiding Ways of Knowing.
Drs. Wall Kimmerer and Turner discussed how Dr. Wall Kimmerer had concluded that Indigenous and scientific ways of knowing could be braided together in her work on the role of traditional ecological knowledge in ecological restoration and the ecology of mosses.
Fellow Reconciling Ways of Knowing project founders Miles Richardson, O.C., Dr. David Suzuki, and Elder Dr. Dave Courchene, Jr. joined Dr. Turner in the dialogue with Dr. Wall Kimmerer to connect her findings and reflections from her work to the objective of the Reconciling Ways of Knowing project to facilitate pathways for building better relationships across ways of knowing and for creating better stewardship outcomes together. And finally, participants asked Dr. Wall Kimmerer or any of the project founders questions about how they can apply the considerations from the discussion on braiding ways of knowing to their work and engagement in community.

How to ecologically power your life | Michalis Kalogerakis | TEDxChania Natural resources are finite, while their mining and burning is really harmful both for us and the environment. The total damage is already irretrievable! Some people refuse to believe it and others
Natural resources are finite, while their mining and burning is really harmful both for us and the environment. The total damage is already irretrievable! Some people refuse to believe it and others ignore this situation, even though our planet is on the brink. The use of renewable energy sources is the only solution. Michalis Kalogerakis gives us food for though and inspires us with his TED talk on how he managed to become energy-independent.
Οι φυσικοί πόροι είναι πεπερασμένοι, ενώ η εξόρυξη και η καύση αυτών βλάπτει τόσο εμάς όσο και τον πλανήτη. Η ζημιά ήδη είναι ανεπανόρθωτη! Άλλοι αρνούνται να το πιστέψουν και άλλοι αδιαφορούν παρόλο που βρισκόμαστε στο χείλος του γκρεμού. Η στροφή στις ανανεώσιμες πηγές ενέργειας είναι μονόδρομος. Ο Καλογεράκης Μιχάλης δίνει τροφή για σκέψη, και εμπνέει μέσα από την ομιλία του για το πώς κατάφερε να γίνει ενεργειακά αυτόνομος.

Ο ίδιος έχει ήδη ζήσει 25 χρόνια σε ενεργειακά αυτόνομο σπίτι, εργάζεται με μια ομάδα ανθρώπων για την ανάπτυξη μιας ενεργειακά αυτόνομης κοινότητας και πλέον τροποποίησε το αμάξι του ώστε να κινείται με καύσιμο που το παράγει ο ίδιος με την χρήση ανανεώσιμων μορφών ενέργειας.

the significant public attention now given to the impacts of inequality. Arguing that societies based on fundamental equalities, sharing and reciprocity produce much higher levels of wellbeing than those based on excessive individualism, competitiveness and social aggression, The Inner Level sheds important new light into how we should organise the way we live together.
