		<title>I come to bury sustainability, not to praise it</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The S-word. It’s become so dominant and overused in green, business and societal discourse that it has become emptied of meaning. This elusive word is used all the time now, (nearly as much as eco-everything) especially by green-washing corporate PR machines, as well as, disappointedly, the green movement(s). It drives me crazy. Corporations, with varying [...]]]></description>

		<title>Becoming native &#8211; following the contours of the given</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The story of the modern “self” is that we are in possession of our own life, that we can construct our life according to our inner desires and plans. We believe we are autonomous beings, in control of our life, that we are a project to be worked on, to be improved. We aim to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Food &#8211; the basis of life, and so much more</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Food. It’s the basis of life. But it’s much more than that now. The modern food system is a complex of interlocking parts including energy (especially oil), transport, chemicals, economics, big corporations, supermarkets, land tenure and ownership, markets, deforestation, monocultures. And huge subsidies.  All of this is combined with the multi-faceted, multi-dimensional aspects of nature. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why our lives are becoming precarious &#8211; ecological reality bites</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our lives are very precious. But our hold on life seems precarious, especially in these times of troubles. There have always been troubles, of course, but they seem more dominant and larger recently. Recent events such as the floods in Queensland, Australia, Sri Lanka, Brazil, and the Philippines have caused waves of destruction, and many [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is it time to kill off nature?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What exactly is this thing called nature? “Saving (protecting) nature” is the cliché used by many, but what exactly is it that we are trying to “save”, and, importantly, who are we saving it from, and for whom are we saving it? Is it an it? Or is it a complex mosaic of creatures, places, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Becoming Animal  &#8211; An Earthly Cosmology</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The underlying assumption of the modern world seems to be that the future will be a continuation of the past &#8211; only brighter, better, with even better technology, more virtual, faster, 3D and more of everything. For some, it’s enticing. For others, it’s despairing; we become increasingly detached from the living world as we give [...]]]></description>

		<title>Was Copernicus wrong?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every morning the sun rises, every evening the sun sets. And we moderns know that this statement is completely and utterly false. The sun does not “set” and it does not “rise”. We know that the earth travels around the sun, and the earth spins on its axis. This fact was first established in 1543 [...]]]></description>

		<title>The radical practice of living in place</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You won’t be surprised that, in Kangaroo Valley, where I live some of the time, there are kangaroos. I come across them from time to time on the land around the house, as they jump over or through my fences and hop, hop, thud, thud, crash, crash their way through the vegetation. Or I see [...]]]></description>

		<title>Anchoring our fast-paced lives in nature</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Nothing ever stays the same. Not me, not you. Not mountains, not blades of grass. On the scale of the cosmos and the scale of the atom everything is changing, everything is moving. Not only the things are changing, the relationships between things are constantly changing. There is the constant forward moving energy of life. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Can you sense a fall coming?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It seems to me that there’s a bit of reality emerging through our facade of business as usual. Biodiversity loss. Financial craziness (first banks, now countries). Injustice. Wars. Oil spills. Forest loss. Biodiversity loss. Natural eruptions. Food shortages. Do you sense a fall coming? Some may argue that we are in for a shift rather [...]]]></description>
