Running Out of Water - Limited Carrying Capacity in Australia, America, Canada and Europe

What is the carrying capacity of America’s landmass? How many more people can its water, energy and other resources sustain? How can it maintain quality of life with its projected 100,000,000 (100 million) added immigrants in the next 30 years? How can it continue exponential growth in a finite area?

Chad Pregracke lives on a barge. His life's work is to clean up the Mississippi River

The Mississippi River sweeps millions of bottles, cans, tires, oil, plastic bags and containers, along with junk of every description, and chemicals into the Gulf of Mexico 24/7.

Introduction - Appreciating the Land That Feeds Us

In the new century, sustainable agriculture has become a buzzword of sorts, and fresh, healthy (preferably organic), locally-grown food is an ideal if not a mantra.  In the Mid-Atlantic States, for example, the popular retro restaurant chain Silver Diner (with 15...

Open Letter to a Network News Program
Speak to what's happening to average Americans
Today, while watching an important broadcast, I was amazed by its omission of serious issues that face the American people at a time when we have a host of major topics that call for comment:
  1.  Immigration drives our country toward adding 100 million more immigrants within 35 years. That number cannot be sustained...
NPG Statement on Population
Negative Population Growth
We believe that the optimum rate of population growth is negative.    We believe that the optimum rate of population growth for the United States (and for the world) is negative, until such time as the scale of economic activity – and its environmental effects – is reduced to a level that would be sustainable indefinitely...
A Geomoment of Affluence Between Two Austere Eras
Negative Population Growth

During most of human history austerity has been the norm. Only recently have some segments of world population enjoyed an affluent life. But these are very unusual times, far from the norm.

Virtue in a Jack-Boot: Anthony Browne on Political Correctness

Anthony Browne’s The Retreat of Reason—Political Correctness and the Corruption of Debate in Modern Britain is just one of a long litany of books written about the scourge of left-wing McCarthyism that has seized control of every important institution in the Anglophone world. Nevertheless the subject is of such critical...

Fear of War led to appeasement and denial of Nazi and Jihadist threat

“We are at war with Islam. Why do otherwise intelligent people insist on saying otherwise? Either they have sold out to Islam--if they are politicians, they're trolling for votes, or they are in the pay of wealthy Islamic organizations--or they just can't bear the thought that we actually are in a...

Five Stages of Awareness? (or is it Six?)

I don't know if I have met anyone who is not, at some level, in a state of denial, including the guy I see in the mirror. Call it an essential human 'coping mechanism'

Reflecting on my own "evolution" (without any implication that I am 'improving' or 'progressing' forward), I am now of the impression that many of us...

Our Mainstream Media and the Bergdahl Matter: Is Something Missing?
The story of Sgt. Bowe  Bergdahl’s  military service in Afghanistan, his imprisonment by the Taliban and his exchange for five high ranking Taliban prisoners at Guantanamo Bay has stirred different emotions among his fellow Americans.

Time’s Up, Democrats and Republicans! Immigration Has to Be Fixed Now

The immigration surge at the border may have been planned, but neither party is benefiting from the reaction. The truth is neither Republicans nor Democrats wanted this issue to surface, particularly before the elections.

Overpopulation in America part 14 - Radioactive Oceans
Fukushima in overflow: radioactive effluent circulating into all oceans
Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect.” - Chief Seattle
