    Discussion of personal privation vs political action.

    Essay by Derrick Jensen on the Orion Magazine website titled, "Forget Shorter Showers. Why personal change is not a substitute for political change".

    Quoted: We can follow the example of those who remembered that the role of an activist is not to navigate systems of oppressive power with as much integrity as possible, but rather to confront and take down those systems.

    Graham Turner's paper published by CSIRO, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation - Australia's national science agency. (52 pages). Amazing to see that old, popular but long-disregarded tome 'The Limits to Growth' given a fresh look. Kudos to the scientists at MIT who did the original research. Figures (noted in the text) are collected at the end of the PDF.
