Yardfarming - P2P Foundation

Yardfarming - P2P Foundation | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

"Industrial agriculture concentrates social power and exacerbates problems of food insecurity and poverty, whereas small-scale organic farming on an individual or community level can significantly distribute social power across communities all over the world. An approach like this is one we like to call “yardfarming” (a concept we’ve spent the last year advocating for through www.Yardfarmers.us).

Manifesto For Economic Democracy and Ecological Sanity | Professor Richard D. Wolff

Manifesto For Economic Democracy and Ecological Sanity | Professor Richard D. Wolff | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

A new historical vista is opening before us in this time of change. Capitalism as a system has spawned deepening economic crisis alongside its bought-and-paid for political establishment. Neither serves the needs of our society. Whether it is secure, well-paid and meaningful jobs or a sustainable relationship with the natural environment that we depend on, our society is not delivering the results people need and deserve. We do not have the lives we want and our children’s future is threatened because of social conditions that can and should be changed. One key cause for this intolerable state of affairs is the lack of genuine democracy in our economy as well as in our politics. One key solution is thus the institution of genuine economic democracy as the basis for a genuine political democracy as well. That means transforming the workplace in our society as we propose in what follows.

Slow Violence and the Environmentalism of the Poor — Rob Nixon | Harvard University Press

Slow Violence and the Environmentalism of the Poor — Rob Nixon | Harvard University Press | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it
'Slow violence' from climate change, toxic drift, deforestation, oil spills, and the environmental aftermath of war takes place gradually and often invisibly. Rob Nixon focuses on the inattention we have paid to the lethality of many environmental crises, in contrast with the sensational, spectacle-driven messaging that impels public activism today.

Biomimicry and the Circular Economy - P2P Foundation

Biomimicry and the Circular Economy - P2P Foundation | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

"When Biomimicry Institute co-founder Janine Benyus presented at the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Circular Economy 100 Conference in 2013, it became clear to both organizations that biomimicry and the circular economy are frameworks for sustainability that must work hand-in-hand. The concept of a circular economy emulates the cycles found in living systems. Both are powerful ideas that prompt new ways of thinking and propose a radically different relationship with our world. As such, the Institute and the Ellen MacArthur Foundation have begun collaborating to further integrate our efforts to build a regenerative world.
