Relationships are the core message of ecology.

The problem is that our whole tribe - if you will, the larger community of humanity itself - is on a death march ecologically and in terms of the intensification of violence and conflict.

How we frame the world - how we talk about it and define it - affects how we see things and how we live.

Even the fear of death is nothing compared to the fear of not having lived authentically and fully.

Old models of farming with chemicals and credit mostly favored privileged men.

I think that fear of embarrassment is the essence of the human challenge.

Making conscious choices about what we eat, based on what the earth can sustain and what our bodies need, can help remind us that our whole society must begin to balance sustainable production with human need.
