Gone Tomorrow: The Hidden Life of Garbage
by Heather Rogers
[film]
http://satyamag.com/aug03/reviews.html
... how “built-in obsolescence” has come to dominate our market economy since the second world war....
[book]
http://thenewpress.com
...dedicated to those who live and work with garbage...
http://www.alternet.org/story/27116/
...There's a reason landfills are tucked away, on the edge of town, in otherwise untraveled terrain, camouflaged by hydroseeded, neatly tiered slopes. If people saw what happened to their waste, lived with the stench, witnessed the scale of destruction, they might start asking difficult questions. Waste Management Inc., the largest rubbish handling corporation in the world...the logic of our society's unrestrained consuming and wasting quickly unravels...
...single largest recipient of New York City's garbage in Pennsylvania, a state that is the country's biggest depository for exported waste....
page 200
...dumps are owned by the garbage giants and located in rural areas accessible from dense urban centers...states have become trash hubs because of their geographical proximity...large swaths of undeveloped land and local economies hobbled by deindustrialization...
...counties with mega-fills, "residents are on average much poorer, less well educated and more likely to be African American than the average...located at points of least resistance...
Consume Locally, Dump Locally...
...Larry Summers, while chief economist at the World Bank, argued that "the economic logic behind dumping a load of toxicc waste in the lowest wage country is impeccable, and we should face up to it...Underpopulated countries in Africa are vastly underpolluted..." It sounds appalling to the rest of us, but his observation was already common knowledge in the trash trade...

World Peace Diet
Eating for Spiritual Health and Social Harmony
by Will Tuttle 2005
http://veganoflight.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_veganoflight_archive.html
"The world is his who can see through its pretensions. What deafness, what stone-blind custom, what overgrown error you behold, is there only by sufferance - your sufferance. See it to be a lie, and you have already dealt it a mortal blow."
- Emerson
"The most violent weapon on earth is the table fork."
- Mahatma Gandhi

...a self-induced sicknesss, adult-onset diabetes...Diabetes is rare among those who eat a plant-based diet...
John McDougall, M.D....
"It is no coincidence that the same diet that helps prevent or cure diabetes also causes effortless weight loss, lowers cholesterol and triglycerides, cleans out the arteries, and returns the body to excellent function. But no matter how much research appears saying the same thing over and over again, the tide is unlikely to change because of the economic incentives for the medical establishment of continued illness and profitable treatments."...
page 149
...Einstein...:
"A human being is a part of the whole, called by us the "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our prersonal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."...
page 154
"Converting living systems into machines for capital accumulation wouldn't be possible without the instrumentality of a reductionist science that achieves two things for you.
"On the one hand it kills your ethics of compassion because reductionism transforms a living system into inert parts that are put together from the outside - and that reductionism then creates the ethical anesthesia that basically says: 'You don't have to worry about the ethics of your relationship because this is just a bundle of matter which is in your hands to play around with.' It's as if you're playing with plasticine.
"And it also gives you the actual manipulative power to get more milk out of a cow, to produce more lean meat in the cows, to stock cows in smaller spaces, to slaughter them more quickly.
"These are the systems by which capital uses the reductionism of science for capital accumulation and appropriation of life from beings who have a right to their own life."
- Vandana Shiva
page 189
...soaring demand for fossil fuels...will cause unremitting upward price pressure...the days of cheap animal foods are numbered...eating animal foods is an unacceptable waste of our limited petroleum supplies...eating beef, chicken, fish, eggs, and dairy products...inefficient compared to plant foods by factors...of 10, 15, and 25 to one? It's easier to see the gallons of fossil fuel poured directly into our cars than it is to see the gallons of fossil fuel poured into our cheese, eggs, fish sticks, hot dogs, and steaks.
The Toxins in Animal Agriculture
The vast, monocropped fields devoted to feeding the animals we eat cover millions of acres of land and are heavily doused with toxic pesticides and fertilizers...

...Marion Nestle's "Food Politics"...how our food production system is designed to maximize profits for the relatively few large corporations that dominate it...:
"My job was to manage the editorial production of the first - and as yet only - Surgeon General's Report on Nutrition and Health...My first day on the job, I was given the rules: No matter what the research indicated, the report could not recommend "eat less meat" as a way to reduce intake of saturated fat, nor could it suggest restrictions on intake of any other category of food . In the industry-friendly climate of the Reagan administration, the producers of foods that might be affeted by such advice would complain to their beneficiaries in Congress, and the report would never be published."
page 198
"We must fight against the spirit of unconscious cruelty with which we treat the animals. Animals suffer as much as we do...It is our duty to make the whole world recognize it."
- Albert Schweitzer
"Animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than blacks were made for whites or women for men."

Bet on Big Changes Ahead
by Jim McCue

Back in the 1970's, in another politically difficult time, I worked with the radically progressive Living Theatre Collective. Though in many ways these people were "hippies" (badmouthed by the corporate media as lazy, immoral, and dangerous), I remember being disappointed at how hard they worked at their craft. These were professional actors, writers, poets, directors and film producers, sculptors, and set designers - so dedicated that we often worked into the wee hours of the night. And they were talking about too much power in the hands of amoral bottom-line-only multinational corporations long before anyone else. Though the word "sustainability" wasn't yet used in reference to economic development, these people clearly understood that we as a society were (and we still are, by the way) crippled by our allegiance to the status quo, and headed for catastrophe unless we make some good but very deep changes. This continues today, with even larger stakes environmentally and internationally. We have to define what is good change. Remaining passive will allow destructive changes to overtake us. We have to find common ground and start working toward things that are really good, not allowing the current bleak economic outlook to encourage us to make compromises or take away from faith in the possibility of a better future.

The world is going to hell in a handbasket - if we let it. And there is an almost unimaginably wonderful future awaits us - if we make it. The same technology that is creating new weapons systems (as if we needed more, what with the atom and hydrogen bombs being invented more than fifty years ago) is able to provide for the establishment of a stable ecosystem with good nutrition, sufficient energy, and a sustainable economic situation for all - if we take hold of our economy and make the good changes needed. And for that, everything has to be on the table. We must talk about the military budget. We must talk about the dangers of hazardous materials being transported through our community. We must talk about how money is being made doing either useless or destructive things - and I'm not just talking about the illegal drug business. Look all around you. Look inside yourself. It's useful (and easier) to see the changes that others need to make; it's time to face the dangers also presented by our own unwillingness to change when appropriate.

Readers of my past articles know some of the changes I've been beating the drum about: recycling organic waste; biotech having to do with renewable energy; urban gardening; more local self-reliance as to jobs, food production, and decentralized energy; composting as a way to remediate pollution while encouraging a more stable local ecosystem. There's no use going on and on about good possible directions unless we as a community are willing to lay our money down on them and invest our time working together on them.

There was a saying in France during the sixties, not well known here: "La Revolution commence avec moi meme. " ["The Revolution begins with myself."] The changes coming are going to either raise us to a much better world or destroy us. Our attitude to them, and use of the marvelous new technologies coming online will determine which it will be.

This 30-fold reduction means that enzymes are no longer the main economic barrier to the commercialization of biomass technology. Research and applications continue in order to bring this technology to commercialization....

International Conference
20 Years of Living with Chernobyl
Experiences and Lessons for the Future
9-12 March 2006 Montforthaus, Feldkirch, Vorarlberg/Austria
:Immediately after the Chernobyl disaster the Soviet secret service (KGB) classified a long list of issues as "top secret". There was no truthful reporting on the radiation damage among the population and among the emergency workers, no truthful documentation of the radioactive
contamination of the affected areas. 20 years ago, efforts to conceal the disaster and its consequences prevented important measures which could have been taken to protect the population. And since 1990, major industrial countries have participated in trivializing these consequences. Until today, institutions influenced and controlled by powerful nuclear interests
produce the majority of reports on the consequences of the Chernobyl disaster. Internationally prominent committees still speak of only 31 radiation deaths after Chernobyl. Almost every health defect attributed to Chernobyl is disclaimed - except for thyroid cancer among children.
There are, however, more and more scientists in both the east and the west struggling to discover the real truth...to expose the lies and strategies to cover up...lessons learned from the
disaster rather than the support of senseless specialist nuclear technology projects...Which
lessons result from Chernobyl for the disaster control and the risk evaluation of nuclear power plants in the west?...

Bin Laden Family Could Profit From a Jump In Defense Spending Due to Ties to U.S. Bank
9/27/1 by Daniel Golden, James Bandler and Marcus Walker
Staff Reporters of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
http://www.newhumanist.com/wsj.html
If the U.S. boosts defense spending in its quest to stop Osama bin
Laden's alleged terrorist activities, there may be one unexpected
beneficiary: Mr. bin Laden's family.
Among its far-flung business interests, the well-heeled Saudi Arabian
clan -- which says it is estranged from Osama - is an investor in a
fund established by Carlyle Group, a well-connected Washington merchant
bank specializing in buyouts of defense and aerospace companies.
Through this investment and its ties to Saudi royalty, the bin Laden
family has become acquainted with some of the biggest names in the

"The industrial model is a machine model. The first assembly line was not for Ford Motorcars, it was for animals in the slaughterhouses in Chicago.

Count 1: Denial and Distortion of Scientific Consensus and Findings--
The Bush administration has consistently denied the scientific consensus around global warming and its causes. Administration officials have misrepresented, distorted, and suppressed scientific information on the subject, especially as it would impact public opinion.
Count 2: Obstructionism on International Efforts--
The Bush administration has refused to take any measures to curb the emissions of greenhouse gases, guided by narrow corporate interests. It has withdrawn from any international efforts that would impose binding restrictions, however minimal. It has done this with full knowledge of the catastrophic effects of global warming and the disproportionate U.S. share of world greenhouse gas emissions, the leading cause of global warming...

To fix it, we can’t rely on narrow technical and policy fixes that underpinned environmental successes in the 1960 and 70s. That approach isn’t working anymore. We need radical change: we need to rethink our economy and our culture to survive what global warming will do to our world...
