He is from my alma mater, UVic, but I was clueless about such things back then. We really do need to get on with the Riot for Austerity, that Sharon Astyk and friends have been practicing for years already. I've been slacking off on that lately, and need to get with it again. Thanks for the timely reminder.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03908227916944431265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965370542440002490.post-80802699792562147122009-10-05T13:13:41.018-03:002009-10-05T13:13:41.018-03:00Hey everyone!

It truly didn't do his talk justice- I wish he had it online somewhere to find... but I looked.<br /><br />Vegan Burnout: I have briefly checked out his No Impact Project Site- I think it's SO COOL that he's taken the blogging into activism. Truly beyond that 'one year stunt' article in the NYTimes. I've been wondering about his book... glad to hear it's good!<br /><br />Daharja: I LOVE your idea about sending money to Dr. Weaver or donating it to a climate change fund research- awesome :)Eco Yoginihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10693080137196812405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965370542440002490.post-18518371158124223042009-10-05T12:14:00.359-03:002009-10-05T12:14:00.359-03:00I've never heard of Dr. Weaver--not surprising...I've never heard of Dr. Weaver--not surprising, since U.S. media doesn't think the rest of the world exists. :( I'll have to check him out.<br /><br />Are you familiar with Colin Beavan's No Impact project? It's pretty interesting. I'm reading his book now.Vegan Burnouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00647418989761380056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965370542440002490.post-21183266731453079312009-10-03T12:46:10.412-03:002009-10-03T12:46:10.412-03:00Great post.

I'll focus instead on gardening, on making things by hand, and so on. And that's all great, but we need to remember how scary this is and how much we need to act.

I have SO MUCH to say on this, but I'll be posting on this on my blog over the next month. When you move, you realize how big your footprint really is, and it is eye-opening and somewhat discouraging! <br /><br />May I print the last paragraph of your post to my blog this weekend, with credits and a link to your blog?<br /><br />Thanks, Lisa.

Thanks for sharing this - it's amazing how much "the public" and the media still believe there's disagreement about the anthropogenic causes of climate change. I even had a student report this in class a couple weeks ago.

Or give 50% to the library, and 50% to the author.<br /><br />The youtube you linked to was awesome. He explained the whole need to stop heating the planet better than I've ever heard anyone explain it before. <br /><br />We can't wait for other people,or our governments, to change. I'm sick of hearing "somebody must DO something!" Its us. We need to change. Which is why we are :-)<br /><br />Just keep making changes, and keep talking about those changes. Be unafraid to be green.<br /><br />I'm glad you made it to the talk.
