Home The Changing Earth Hopi Prophecy Links Southwest Desert Sustainability Project (link) Marie Montessori How children learn John Taylor Gatto ... Learn in Freedom Links Freeing the Children....in an Unfree World I've been spending a lot of time thinking about and working at "raising free children".....in an unfree world. Big subject, freedom. The premise of course is that they (we) come in free at birth. We then become layered with intergenerational history, drama, intrigue. So, the real question is how do entities that come in free, become free again. Deciding who and what is "free", is presumptuous at best. No one is really free. At the very least, freedom suggests a sense of self knowingness that is the order of the day for one's life process: free to go about the business of "life purpose". Disregarding the impact of media, society, bad parenting and bad schools, attaining even rarified smidges of that "knowingness" is well, rarified. By default we have discovered what freedom is not. Freedom has a cost attached: responsibility. Freedom has nothing to do with poverty or richness, both are equally difficult to break out of. Consistency works. Freedom demands having the ability and bravery to disregard "what people think and what people say and do.

Sustainable Energy Nuclear Issues Briefing Paper # 54 May 2003 Energy resources are available to supply mankind's expanding needs without environmental detriment. Wastes remain a major concern whether they are released to the environment or not. Ethical principles seem increasingly likely to dominate energy policy in many countries, which augurs well for nuclear energy. "When viewed from a large set of criteria, nuclear power shows a unique potential as a large scale sustainable energy source." OECD 2001 "The competitive position of nuclear energy is robust from a sustainable development perspective since most health and environmental costs are already internalised." OECD 2001 Until the last ten or twenty years sustainable energy was thought of simply in terms of availability relative to the rate of use. Today, in the context of the ethical framework of sustainable development, other aspects are equally important. These include environmental effects and the question of wastes, even if they have no environmental effect. Safety is also an issue, as well as the broad and indefinite aspect of maximising the options available to future generations. There are many who see no realistic alternative to pushing Sustainable Development criteria into the front line of energy policy. In the light of concerns about global warming due to human enhancement of the greenhouse effect, there is clearly growing concern about how we address energy needs on a sustainable basis.

The Sustainable Energy for Economic Development (SEED) project is a community-based renewable energy campaign started in 1993. Four organizations: Clean Water Fund, Minnesotans for an Energy-Efficient Economy, The Minnesota Project and the Sustainable Resources Center, have joined forces to work with farmers, rural leaders and organizations, and energy advocates to build a stronger base of support for renewable energy development in the state. The goals of the project are to broaden the base of support for renewable energy to develop as much renewable electricity in the state as possible, to sustain existing momentum despite increasing market pressure against renewables, and to do this in ways that provide direct benefits to the host rural communities.

I am concerned here with the question of how science can help deliver cheap, reliable energy in a sustainable way.

Agro-Industries Sustainable Energy and Climate Change Montreal Protocol Environmental Management Context Industrial energy is essential to economic and social development and to improving the quality of life. Indeed, the availability of affordable and sustainable energy to all people is critical to the achievement of the MDGs, and its contributions can help to meet the targets in various ways. In particular, energy is a prerequisite for poverty alleviation, as targeted in MDG 1, since it enables income-generating activities and the establishment of micro-enterprises. Similarly, energy helps to alleviate hunger and meet most of the other social and welfare-related MDGs by providing the light and power that the achievement of these goals critically depends on. Accessibility to reliable and affordable energy is very unevenly distributed, however, both between countries and within countries. Many developing countries - in particular LDCs - and countries with economies in transition face the urgent need to provide adequate, reliable and affordable energy services, especially electricity, to a total of some two billion people mainly in rural areas. The issue of "energy for the poor" is consequently becoming one of the principal issues in the global debate on energy.

UNDP's Approach UNDP's approach to sustainable energy UNDP focuses on six thematic practice areas, selected because of developing country demand: poverty reduction, democratic governance, sustainable energy and the environment, crisis management, ICT, and HIV/AIDS. Sustainable energy is thus placed as one of the thematic pillars of UNDP for achieving poverty reduction and sustainable development goals as set by the Millennium Declaration. UNDP defined its energy strategy in the UNDP Initiative for Sustainable Energy (UNISE) in 1996. UNISE discussed how energy relates to UNDP's thematic areas and programme goals (poverty alleviation, improvement of the situation of women, job creation, environmental protection, etc.) and outlined how energy programmes and projects can become instrumental in achieving sustainable human development. In 2000, UNDP in collaboration with the United Nations Department of Social and Economic Affair (UNDESA) and the World Energy Council (WEC), established the World Energy Assessment: Energy and the Challenge of Sustainability , which provides the best current thinking on the social, economic, environmental and security issues linked to energy, and the compatibility of different energy options..

Sustainable Energy an Earth-friendly View by William Beale Wise Energy Paths OUR TOOL-USING ancestors grew in power and wisdom as they looked to nature as a teacher in the design of systems of ever greater sophistication and complexity. But wisdom has turned to arrogance as we have come to think of nature only as a way to satisfy human wants. The wondrous web of life is being slashed and tangled to satisfy wasteful and trivial pursuits. Treating the Earth as merely a "storehouse" of resources is more than wreaking ecological havoc. We are trampling a basic relationship that makes us and our planet whole. But much can be done even at this late stage to restore the Earth and ourselves. And practicing energy efficiency should be an important part of our response. What is energy efficiency? It's basically a measure of how much we can do with a given amount of energy. To inhabitants of a "small planet," it is learning to use limited resourcesdoing more with less.
