for those involved in permaculture and sustainability type activism -
can I suggest people broaden the concernes from Peak Oil and Climate
Change - to Peak Debt, Fair Share and People Care

strengthen the People Care and Fair Share as well as Earth Care

consider the Op-Eds from the Ny Times and The Economists below;

The World Social Forum
Dear capitalists, admit you got it wrong

Buoyed up by a crisis and with five presidents in attendance, the
international left has ideas for fixing the world that a neoliberal

Slumdogs Unite!

Published: February 7, 2009

SOMEDAY historians may look back at Tom Daschle's flameout as a minor
one-car (and chauffeur) accident. But that will depend on whether or
not it's followed by a multi-vehicle pileup that still could come.
Even as President Obama refreshingly took responsibility for having
"screwed up," it's not clear that he fully understands the huge forces
that hit his young administration last week.

The tsunami of populist rage coursing through America is bigger than
Daschle's overdue tax bill, bigger than John Thain's trash can, bigger
than any bailed-out C.E.O.'s bonus. It's even bigger than the Obama
phenomenon itself. It could maim the president's best-laid plans and
what remains of our economy if he doesn't get in front of the mounting
public anger.
