Sustainability is Step One: Earth Day time to up our game
http://darcyhiggins.blogspot.com/2011/03/last-earth-day-my-friend-called-and-i.html
Sustainability is Step One. Currently focusing on progressive political, advocacy and organizing strategy. Earth Day time to up our game. Last Earth Day, my friend called and I told him, "it’s my special day., you didn’t wish me a Happy Earth Day! He hit back, "every day is Earth Day! And thus began our tradition of saying “Happy Earth Day” as the first greeting with every phone call on any day. Sadly though, it's tough times out there for environmental advocates, but not for a lack of work to be done.

Sustainability is Step One. Currently focusing on progressive political, advocacy and organizing strategy. Shady diplomats, Exxon and Harper. Just when we thought things couldn't get any worse on the Conservative's treatment. Of climate change, we hear more bad news. Not only is the Party killing our own climate legislation, it's using old American corporate-money games to try to kill their legislation as well. Postmedia News. This is a scary trend. It's not just elected senators making our democrati...

Sustainability is Step One. Currently focusing on progressive political, advocacy and organizing strategy. Mackenzie Valley pipe dream. Thomas Berger's Inquiry created a moratorium on the Pipeline proposal for ten years to deal with Aboriginal land. Years of delays and assessments after that has meant that the Pipeline was still never built. Now Kent and his colleagues in Cabinet have approved that same Pipeline, CBC has reported. More and more, economics has been driving development over environmental c...

Sustainability is Step One. Currently focusing on progressive political, advocacy and organizing strategy. Let's talk about the society we want. In an article this week, George Monbiot has made the case for progressives to make the case for playing to people's collective good values to build the society we want to see. I think this is similar to what Bill McKibben was saying about movement building and how we've so far been failing. What do you think? Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Sustainability is Step One: Blame the system, please, and fix it
http://darcyhiggins.blogspot.com/2011/05/go-ahead-blame-system.html
Sustainability is Step One. Currently focusing on progressive political, advocacy and organizing strategy. Blame the system, please, and fix it. Boy do lefties know how to beat up on each other. Maybe it was the deep moments of frustration, but I haven’t heard this much blame game thrown around this country since the early Chrétien years, by conservatives. Yes, if this and that happened, votes could have added up in different ways to defeat the Conservatives. I've seen people blaming parties, leaders...

Sustainability is Step One. Currently focusing on progressive political, advocacy and organizing strategy. Time for youth to lead. Young peoples’ leadership is showing these days. with activism in Britain, Iran and Burma, entrepreneurship in a global recession and developing counter cultures with different ways of doing things. Many don’t see that the big problems face them day to day, so perhaps don’t decide to get involved. But our generation is feeling pressure from a lack of jobs and ...Today’s...

Sustainability is Step One. Currently focusing on progressive political, advocacy and organizing strategy. Talking about the activist blues. Activism can be an invigorating practice, kicking up adrenaline that keeps you going, going for the win. But what does this mean for our minds? I've also noticed friends getting more into creative activism. This work needs more than protest, it needs positive motivation, song, food and community. Let's arrive at that together. If you're not feeling it, don't fee...
