Abstract

We start with reasons why it is time to stop relentless reckless ruthless 'progress' based on scale, speed, growth, force and war, depicted above in 'Instruments of Power' by Thomas Hart Benton. Then good news. Shahani Shresta reports on agroecology in Nepal. Then bad news. Felipe Neves reports on the Brazilian Rio Doce environmental catastrophe. Then hopeful news. Sara Garduño-Diaz reports from France, China and Turkey on ways to stop wasting food. Then big news. Geoffrey Cannon reports on Big Sugar power politics in the Americas and proposes a global tax to protect workers as well as consumers.
