Stop Economic Growth - reform the monetary system
Submitted by rob on Tue, 16/12/2008 - 19:50
We live on a finite planet with finite resources, and it is obvious that there are limits to growth - limits to the rate at which the global economy can grow, and consume the world's resources. We live in an era of unparalleled economic growth, and nobody seems to be doing anything to stop it, and the Earth is being eaten alive. To save the Earth, we must stop economic growth. To do this monetary reform is desperately needed, and the video and web links in this article will tell you why.
Wake Up, Freak Out - then Get a Grip, is an excellent animation which shows how untethered economic growth and consumption, are pushing the Earth dangerously close to tipping point - beyond which climate change will be devastating and unstoppable.

Follow the links below for samples of poetry by me. More is to follow in the future, as I record and upload it. I am also hoping to make some film-poems in 2009, all being well. (If you are a film maker, and think that you might be able to help me with this project, then please get in touch.)
