This week we continue looking at the toxic nature of the human separation from nature; we bring you 3 different pieces about the human engineering of toxic chemicals. First, an adaptation of Adam Curtis' BBC documentary Goodbye Mrs. Ant, on the rise and fall of the pesticide industry as purveyors of miracle cures, and how discovery of the pernicious effects of DDT lead to the growth of ecology and the environmentalist movement. Secondly, a 2009 interview with about the world's most fatal industrial chemical leak, the 1984 disaster in which a pesticide factory exploded in Bhopal. Finally, an interview with Emanuelle Schick-Garcia about her film, The Idiot Cycle, on how multinational chemical companies are both the world's biggest produce carcinogens and are intimately connected with the cancer treatment industry.

What Is The Matter With Stewart Brand?

07-11-2010 18:14

Don't confuse the old "Whole Earth Catalog" Stewart Brand with the new corporate friend-of-the-billionaires model. He's just appeared on Channel 4 November 4th in the UK, spouting anti-green rhetoric - after doing the same in North America. Why can't you greens just wake up and eat your Genetically Modified food bars, to the light of the nuclear power plant glow? Meanwhile, my billionaire friends and I will geo-engineer the sky to ward off all that carbon we spew. He's the new hi-tech whiz kid with the same crappy corporate ideas of THE BIG FIX.

Support Needed For Huntingdon Lane Protest Camp!

04-11-2010 15:02

The beginning of the month saw no let up from UK Coal and it's 10 million pounds worth of digging and earth moving equipment on site at Telfore/Huntingdon Lane protest camp, Shropshire. On site there are constant security guards, between each day and night, working as part of National Eviction Team, around the clock, ready to enforce the courts will and the corporate bidding at a moments notice. They have also errected a pathetic fence to mark the 'boundary', or rather, the bit of land they will forcibly move people off if you are caught wandering...A public footpath was closed by local authority law so that now not even 'random walkers' can see the devestation being caused to the wonderful wrekin landscape.
The footpath is also patrolled by security working as National Eviction Team.

Hands-on action needed more than ever to stop nuclear power in Germany

01-11-2010 22:59

Despite massive protests and against the declared will of the population, the German government in September rammed through parliament an extension of the operating periods of German nuclear power stations. On 5 November the next consignment of processed nuclear waste is due in Gorleben, a village of 600 people located roughly equidistant between the northern cities of Hanover and Hamburg. Despite the annual general police ban on protests along rail and road routes to be used by the waste shipment, activist groups are calling for rallies, blockades and removal of ballast stones from the local railway line that weekend.

UG#522 - Spiritual and Social Separation

27-10-2010 15:07

This week a range of voices continue our series on separation. We start with Michael Lerner speaking on his 2006 book, "The Left Hand of God: Taking Back Our Country from the Religious Right", about the spiritual disconnection of modern US society, and how this has been both exacerbated and the exploited by an alliance of corporate interests and the 'religious right'. Next a short section of an interview with Bill McKibben. In our second hour, after revisiting the words of Charles Eisenstein, we hear from Richard Louv, about what he terms 'Nature Deficit Disorder'.

Opponents of nuclear electricity generation will gather at 100 locations throughout Germany coming Saturday (23 Oct) to protest against the trucking and railing of nuclear waste hither and thither across the country.
