Bill McKibben, our environmental Pied Piper, is at it again
You gotta admire Bill McKibben. And you gotta wonder, where the frack does the guy get his indefatigable energy?? Off he goes again this week, starting a new campaign to protest hydraulic fracking in Ohio—you know, the state where natural gas drill rigs caused manmade earthquakes. I think we all have a pretty good idea [...]

Resisting the Zombies: At what point will we stop bearing witness to ecocide and begin to act?
My favorite chapter in Derrick Jensen’s new book Dreams is entitled “Zombies.” Jensen describes the corporate elite as zombies, that is, as “flesh-eating…mindless monsters who are not only to be feared for their insatiability and ferocity, but because their sickness is highly contagious….Zombies eat human flesh, but they are also as relentlessly omnicidal as corporations.
