ECOSOCIALISM
Would this perhaps be what Marshal Mcluan had in mind with his Global Village or Global Villages....concept.
The village after all is a premodernist social enterprise.
Was he perhaps trying to describe a reinvented or
devolved capitalism....
I suppose we'll never really know as it is a new term
sort of made old
Ecosocialism Link = [link]
I wonder if this might tie in somewhat with "Natural Capitalism"
Natural Capitalism link = [link]
Hmmm many names for similar yet somewhat distinct things.

Alberta Canada
In From The Cold
Heres a nice local story.
Anthropology students at the local college have speared
headed an effort started by some local churches who have
been housing the homeless in empty church space at night
here in the cold central alberta winter.
The college students took up the call though and now
pickup some of the other homeless and bring them to the
college gym and with donated bedding and food give them
a warm place to spend a winters night that can drop to 40 or
50 below. They also allow them access to the gym showers
so they can refresh themselves a bit from the grime of
street life. The college has security and the students
I think taking turns supervising.
Nice use of otherwise wasted space and heating.

WEATHER INSTABILITY
I guess the real concern is not global warming or cooling as our meger 300 years of global record weather keeping is hardly significant in planetary time frames but the crux is whether human activity is responsible to some degree to the increased weather instability of the last 50 years as witnessed by any one 40 or older, and if so how and why and what might be done about it.
I come from Alberta even which has a widely varied weather norm and I can attest that it has gotten even more unstable than the wild norm. Having experienced two tornados, 2 once in 200 year floods and fluctuations of about 40 or more degrees temp within less than a day and a recent province wide blizzard as well as the usual chinooks.
So I would suggest that something is causing the increased weather instability and I suppose it is right or proper to question whether it is global human activity as a possible source which is about the only thing which we may have a slight possibility of altering.

| "Flora's album covers pulsed with angular hepcats bearing funnel-tapered noses and shark-fin chins who fingered cockeyed pianos and honked lollipop-hued horns. Yet this childlike exuberance was subverted by a tinge of the diabolic. Flora wreaked havoc with the laws of physics, conjuring flying musicians, levitating instruments, and wobbly dimensional perspectives". " ...On some Flora figures, three legs and five arms were standard equipment, with spare eyeballs optional." |
