Michael Pollan: The Omnivore's Next Dilemma

2008-05-12T02:08:06Z

www.ted.com

What if human consciousness isn't the end-all and be-all of Darwinism? What if we are all just pawns in corn's clever strategy game, the ultimate prize of which is world domination? Author Michael Pollan asks us to see things from a plant's-eye view -- to consider the possibility that nature isn't opposed to culture, that biochemistry rivals intellect as a survival tool. By merely shifting our perspective, he argues, we can heal the Earth. Who's the more sophisticated species now?

From mountains of tires to rivers of bright orange waste from a nickel mine, his images are simultaneously beautiful and horrifying.

Center for American Progress - America at its Best, ...

2008-05-16T08:33:15Z

http://www.americanprogress.org/

The Center for American Progress is a think tank dedicated to improving the lives of Americans through ideas and action. We combine bold policy ideas with a modern communications platform to help shape the national debate, expose the hollowness of conservative governing philosophy, and challenge the media to cover the issues that truly matter.

Our work builds upon progressive ideals put forth by such leaders as Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, JFK, and Martin Luther King. We draw from the great social movements of the 20th century—from labor rights and worker safety, to civil rights and women's suffrage. We translate those values into new ideas and action firmly rooted in the economic and political realities of the 21st century.

Founded in 2003, CAP is headed by John D. Podesta, former chief of staff to President Bill Clinton CAP is designed to provide long-term leadership and support to the progressive movement. Our ability to develop thoughtful policy proposals and engage in the war of ideas with conservatives is unique and effective.

Thomas Friedman: Here's Pie in Your Eye

2008-05-05T15:33:25Z

Thomas Friedman, the author and NY Times columnist, was all set to deliver an Earth Day speech at Brown University entitled "Green is the new Red, White, and Blue." Friedman's been calling for government-led environmentalism to bring about energy salvation and climate change.

Not everyone agrees with Friedman's ideas, including the Greenwash Guerrillas, who stormed the stage and let their green pies fly. As the Greenwash Guerillas fled, they threw leaflets into the crowd that stated:

Thomas Friedman deserves a pie in the face...
Because of his sickeningly cheery applaud for free market capitalism's conquest of the planet.
For telling the world that the free market and techno fixes can save us from climate change. From carbon trading to biofuels, these distractions are dangerous in and of themselves, while encouraging inaction with respect to the true problems at hand.
For helping turn environmentalism into a fake plastic consumer product for the privileged
For his long-standing support for the US Occupation of Iraq and the Israeli occupation of Palestine. Such committed support to the US War Machine and its proxy states overseas cannot be masked behind any twisted mask of "green" - the US Military is the largest single emitter of greenhouse gases in the world.
For his pure arrogance.
On behalf of the earth and all true environmentalists -- we, the Greenwash Guerrillas, declare Thomas Friedman's "Green" as fake and toxic to human and planetary health as the cool-whip covering his face.
