Capitalism 3.0

First to recommend

Description

A solution to the ecological degradation and poverty that are inherent in our present form of capitalism. Well-written and easily understood, there are free chapter excerpts you can read that give a good introduction to this author's interesting theory. We actually have a kind of corporate socialism at the moment, where companies take from the commons for free. This would redress the inequality, and create a trust where the disenfranchised, such as future generations and non-human species, have a place at the table.

Vote NO On Prop 10 | Post Carbon Institute

First to recommend

Description

For California residents: Prop 10 benefits T. Boone Pickens, the oilman who funded the swiftboating of John Kerry. Now he's made himself out to be an environmentalist, but this is just another way of lining his pockets. Fueling trucks with natural gas, the dwindling supplies of which will be needed to heat homes, is ludicrous. He told Congress all American cars should be fueled on natural gas, too. Natural gas - methane - has 24 times the greenhouse effect as carbon dioxide. A little bit escapes every time it's pumped from one place to another. Imagine all those nozzles in car gas tanks releasing 2 to 4 percent of the total consumed! This is a recipe for disaster. Please vote No on Proposition 10.

Proposition 2: Humane treatment of animals in CA

First to recommend

Description

Please read the editorial and forward it to your friends in California. If that forward-thinking state votes for humane treatment of farm animals, other states will follow suit. As the NY Times editorial says: "To a California voter still undecided on Proposition 2, we say simply, imagine being confined in the voting booth for life. Would you vote for the right to be able to sit down and turn around and raise your arms?"
