Happiness comes from within. It is a perspective that is carried in the mind at every waking moment.

This is because the outside world only reflects your internal point of view, your internal perspective.

If we expect to have any fighting chance in dealing with climate change and oil depletion, then we will have to rethink our conception of energy.
To be plain, the energy free ride we’ve received from fossil fuels — cheap, abundant, and easy to refine — is over.

For some time I have been meaning to write something about the true threat of climate change and the necessity of action. For lack of time and eloquence, here are, instead, some links to the sources I was going to site to. Sometimes the most damning statement is a simple list of the facts; for […]

History teaches that from its earliest beginnings, civilization has gone hand-in-hand with the quest for more land and resources. Empires built themselves up in various river valleys, only to […]
The news about climate change, and its ramifications for human life, gets increasingly depressing with each passing day.
James Lovelock, a scientist who articulated the simple yet brilliant concept that it is possible to think of the Earth as one living unit (in the same way we might think of an individual cell, for example), believes […]
In the course of 24 hours, a major metropolitan area on the North American continent has, for all practical purposes, been wiped off the face of the Earth.
