Sing for the Climate is a big singing manifestation that first took place on September 22 and 23 2012 in Belgium. More than 80.000 people in more than 180 Belgian cities and communities sang the song “Do it Now”, urging politicians to take more ambitious climate measures both on local, national and international level. This video is a synthesis of recordings that were made in all locations. The success of ‘Sing for the Climate’ proves that a mass mobilization around climate change is still possible even after the COP15 in Copenhagen.
But Belgium is a small country and climate change is global problem, which needs to be tackled on an international level. Therefore we appeal to local groups and organizations worldwide to organize their own version of Sing for the Climate.
More information, tools and support for your local action can be found on http://www.singfortheclimate.com
Sing for the Climate is the culmination of three years campaigning for ‘The Big Ask’.

An article by Jonathan Stein
“Sadly, most people in the western world remain in denial of their inherent interconnection with all of life, merely through their avoidance of anything that remotely reminds them of their mortality (pain, discomfort, suffering, etc.), and they endure, much to the detriment of The Whole, self-selectively abdicating the responsibilities of their true nature as rescuers with a deep and powerful purpose. Instead, most wait, hoping that somebody or something “out there” will come and make everything all better again. Awakening in this time of crisis requires a more courageous response. It involves choosing to become conscious of the deleterious effects of one’s own sense of entitlement and how it is contributing to destroying life on planet Earth.” – Jonathan Stein

If you have not yet seen David Abram’s website for AWE (the Alliance for Wild Ethics), I promise you will want to explore it. It is absolutely beautiful. You’ll need to have the latest version of Flash Player installed to get the full effect (Chrome has this already built in, so if you are using it as your web browser you’ll have no problem).
If you don’t yet know about the peer-reviewed quarterly journal, Ecopsychology, you’ll want to!

Brown and Geoffrey Garver, with Keith Helmuth, Robert Howell, and Steve Szeghi.
The Sacred Garden Love and Light Church in Lake Worth, Florida holds an eco friendly church service that meets outdoors only.

An invitation from Our World 2.0:
Our video collection “Indigenous Perspectives of Climate Change”, made collaboratively with communities and researchers in 2008-9, documents several important traditional knowledge perspectives of environmental change. Of particular relevance, the video created with FSDA.ru in the Russia’s Altai Mountains “Land has Breath” and another with Marilyn Wallace from the Wet tropics of Far North Australia “Walking on Country with Spirits”.

“If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it does it make a sound?” My friend and I jokingly debated this age-old question on our way into the woods for an afternoon hike.
We walked together for awhile before coming to a familiar fork in the path. One leg led to a small pond the other up and over a ravine. This day my friend was attracted to scaling the ravine but I was feeling rather tired and wanted to take the easier trek towards the pond. So we split up agreeing to meet at the water in a couple of hours. Continue Reading →

Far tramples
of hidden animals
on withered foliage.
The shadow of a shadow,
imperceptible,
brushes against me,
while I’m walking in the wood.
The sigh
of Life,
for a moment,
blows,
lightly,
on my life.
Visit M Ivana’s website for more “ecopoetry”, written in both English and Italian. The “Manifesto” page is particularly interesting.
