Our wasteful habits are severely impacting the world. This environmental crisis developed gradually, and similarly, its repair doesn't require immediate, drastic overhaul. Step-by-step actions can make a significant difference.

However, changing personal habits is essential for real progress. It's time to act now and embrace sustainable practices before it's too late. SustainabilityX magazine.

U.S. buildings are highly inefficient, accounting for 40% of primary energy use and emissions, and often negatively impact inhabitants. Bioneers brought together visionary architects Deanna Van Buren and Jason McLennan to redefine healthy, nature-honoring, and socially equitable built environments.

Van Buren (Designing Justice) creates "restorative" infrastructure addressing mass incarceration's root causes. McLennan, a leading "green" architect, champions truly "living" and regenerative buildings. This discussion explored how their distinct but vital visions for our built environment can be synthesized.

Moderated by Dawn Danby, this conversation was part of the 2022 Bioneers conference. Find more talks and discussions at bioneers.org.

The "Rights of Nature" movement aims to protect rivers, mountains, and entire ecosystems by recognizing their inherent legal rights to exist, persist, flourish, and evolve, rather than treating them as property. This radical framework has gained global momentum, spreading from tribal lands to cities and nations.

In this session, activist attorneys Frank Bibeau, Thomas Linzey, and Samantha Skenandore, moderated by Alexis Bunten, will update us on their successes and challenges in Indian Country and beyond.

Dr. Cathy Fitzgerald's talk, "Stories for a Wiser Forestry," at Edinburgh Botanic Gardens on March 27, 2023, addressed "The Right Tree in the Right Place." Responding to urgent IPCC warnings, she advocates for wiser ecological permanent forestry as an alternative to ecocidal clear-fell monoculture, fostering enduring well-being.

Fitzgerald's work, including her Hollywood Forest Story blog at HollywoodForest.com, details transforming a 2-acre conifer plantation into a resilient mixed-species forest. This innovative case study, recognized by Creative Carbon Scotland (link), promotes a shift to a life-promoting Symbiocene era. Her ecoliteracy courses at HaumeaEcoversity.ie further advance this global cultural shift towards sustainability.

I recorded this video last week on a cliff in Thacker Pass. While the lithium mining battle there is a local dispute over habitat and indigenous rights, it also represents a new frontier in the extraction economy. The search for oil "replacements" like lithium perpetuates similar environmental harm and community destruction, repeating old patterns of abuse.

This situation at Thacker Pass is emblematic of a deeper societal struggle: the conflict between our destructive impulses and our higher selves. Read more at maxwilbert.substack.com.
