As I watched the film it occurred to me that the crisis I was seeing on the screen and in particular the unique ways that each of the central characters related to it provided a not-so-metaphorical template for the ecological mega-crisis of our own times, as well as our individual emotional responses333 views

There are many reasons why I'm voting yes on 2B & 2C. I could talk about how I don't like that a corporation (a monopoly, at that) has 100% control of a basic public service. I could talk about how Xcel has raised my electricity rates by 20% over the past few years. Or I could go on about how citizens have absolutely no say in what Xcel does, where their energy comes from, and how much they charge because the Public Utilities Commission isn't elected by voters. But, instead, the most basic reason why I'm voting yes on 2B & 2C is because it's just the right thing to do for our community. And here's why.79 views

Van Jones, the former White House Special Advisor for Green Jobs, discusses his support for ballot measures 2B & 2C in Boulder. Measures 2B & 2C give the city the authority to investigate the feasibility of creating a municipal power utility. 29 cities in Colorado (Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, Longmont, etc) and thousands across the country already run municipal power utilities. 2B & 2C have been endorsed by the Daily Camera and the Boulder Weekly. For more information and to see the list of thousands of local businesses and citizen endorsers, check out http://www.RenewablesYes.org. Van Jones is the founder of the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, Green For All, and was named a "Hero of the Environment" by Time magazine one of the "12 Most Creative Minds of 2008" by Fast Company.840 views

As a reader of elephant journal, it is likely you have purchased Horizon Organic Milk, or Silk soy milk recently. Who knew they were owned by the same company, White Wave, who is now owned by Dean Foods? I sure didn’t.Even though food companies like Dean Foods are acquiring companies demonstrating Right-Livelihood, like White Wave, it is still disturbing that the industry is moving closer and closer to being monopolized.The loss of integrity in the organic food industry, along with Monsanto's rising is a eminent crisis that will affect our generation very soon.653 views
