one world

How well we come through the era of globalization (perhaps whether we come through it at all) will depend on how we respond ethically to the idea that we live in one world.

An Eco-socialist Manifesto

Green from Below
生態社會主義宣言

The twenty-first century opens on a catastrophic note, with an unprecedented degree of ecological breakdown and a chaotic world order beset with terror and clusters of low-grade, disintegrative warfare that spread like gangrene across great swathes of the planet -- viz., central Africa, the Middle East, Northwestern South America -- and reverberate throughout the nations. In our view, the crises of ecology and those of societal breakdown are profoundly interrelated and should be seen as different manifestations of the same structural forces. (繼續閱讀...)

a tiny seed

Wed, 08 Jul 2009 16:06:37 +0800

So we choose a tiny seed to be devoted to.
This body, one path or one teacher.
Look wider and farther.

Corporation globalization

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 14:56:08 +0800

Corporation globalization is based on contrived rules of trade which invade our autonomous and sovereign spaces -- ecological, economic, cultural, social, political, ethical, spiritual. On the one hand, globalization redefines life as commerce and the world as commodities. On the other hand, it limits our global experience to global markets and global institutions.

in a sea of ignorance

The more we advances, the more we forget. What use is our expensive technology in a sea of ignorance?

democracy in food

life

Sat, 06 Jun 2009 18:10:03 +0800

Life has the capacity to oppose the qualitative degradation to which inert matter is subject. In fact life may be characterized as the capacity to create order, to create free energy, to create diversity, to evade the law of entropy.
-- Vandana Shiva

diversity

Not till diversity is made the logic of production can diversity be conserved.
-- Vandana Shiva

biotechnology

Wed, 20 May 2009 10:03:03 +0800

There is a prevalent misconception that biotechnology development will automatically lead to biodiversity conservation. The main problem with viewing biotechnology as a miracle solution to the biodiversity crisis is related to the fact that biotechnologies are, in essence, technologies for the breeding of uniformity in plants and animals.
-- Vandana Shiva

the planet

Tue, 19 May 2009 18:33:02 +0800

The globe is on our computers. No one lives there. It allows us to think that we can aim to control it. The planet is in the species of alterity, belonging to another system; and yet we inhabit it, on loan.
-- Gayatri Spivak
