Positive Ecology
The transformation to sustainability and/as ways to happiness
What seems to be heard most often are the environmentalists predicting doom, and the deniers and delayers arguing that change would hurt us, personally and economically.Recently, we see an emergent understanding that a transformation to sustainability is actually not just about hard choices for "saving the planet," but about ways in which human happiness can ...learn more

About
I am a graduate student in the Antioch New England Environmental Advocacy and Organizing department. I focus on social sustainability and the prevention of unsastainable use of the environment.
My goal is to minimize the power of money and place the power back into the hands of the people.
An example is the mountain top removal mining for coal in West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee and other states. This mining is a problem because it heavily polutes the local communities and exploits them. The areas that are being mined like this are some of the poorest areas in those states and this mining is not bringing in jobs and is exploiting the resourses that residents rely on.
My view of the future is to educate people and reduce the power and exceptions that companies have. It boggles my mind how there can be an overwheliming unification against what some companies want to do but the government will still allow them to continue.
