The Tragedy of the Commons, the Pope, and the System
Michael A. Lebowitz
There's an old argument that common property inevitably leads to exhaustion of resources.

No matter that, historically, individual communities have always found ways to manage their common property; nevertheless, the story continues to be told. There is, after all, a underlying lesson.

Dear friends,
I attended one of the first Global Climate March actions on Saturday in California, and it was so full of vitality that I came away with a huge boost of hope. After a dark and challenging couple of weeks, I wish I could bottle that hope up and send it to you in an email.
War, racism, fear and hatred of the world’s most vulnerable -- these things are seemingly on the rise around the world, and they are compounded by our changing climate. And yet: Here is also a movement of people -- spanning borders and cultures -- that’s born out of love.
The Global Climate March is shaping up to be a huge mobilization, coordinated by countless organizations large and small, and already comprising over 2,000 events around...

China, the Remembrancer and the Continued Wasting of the British Economy
Jeffrey Henderson
At first glance it seems an almost inexplicable paradox: probably the most right wing British government since 1945 inviting, against the advice of the security services, the military and the U.S. Government, companies controlled by the Chinese Communist Party -- and in one case the Chinese military -- into the heart of our strategically vital energy infrastructure. But explain the paradox we must, and to do so we need to foreground the other major deal that was struck during President Xi's visit to Britain a couple of weeks ago: the inter-penetration of British and Chinese financial services.
