Slide Show for Plan B 3.0: Mobilizing to Save Civilization

Publish at Scribd or explore others: Other future sustainability

http://www.earth-policy.org/Books/PB3/presentation.htm


At Earth Policy Institute (EPI) we often receive requests for a visual presentation to accompany Lester Brown’s latest book, Plan B 3.0: Mobilizing to Save Civilization. The reasons vary widely, from people wanting to spread the word within their communities, to teachers looking to relay the message to their students, to individuals seeking to quickly get the gist of the book. Because of this interest, EPI has created a slideshow illustrating in text, pictures, and graphs why and how we need to mobilize to save civilization.

Our aim in producing this presentation is to provide a brief but engaging summary of the book’s key concepts. By helping interested parties spread the Plan B vision, we hope to encourage social and political involvement in critical environmental issues--for example, banning new coal-fired power plants or implementing an economy-wide carbon tax to help stabilize climate.

You are welcome to use this presentation and modify it to suit your needs. It is designed to be shared, so feel free to pass along the link to others who might be interested. We ask only that you appropriately credit EPI and the photographers, notably Yann Arthus-Bertrand (www.yannarthusbertrand.com/v2/yab_us.htm), eminent French photographer and friend of EPI, whose works appear within.

If you find this tool useful, please let us know how you are using it in your community, classroom, congregation, or with other groups by sending an e-mail to epi(at)earthpolicy.org. We may add your example to our ever-growing list (at www.earthpolicy.org/Books/Reaching.htm) of the many ways folks around the world are spreading the Plan B vision. Now let’s get to work!

Training course on sustainable community indicators.

Sustainable Measures has developed a one-day training course on sustainable community indicators. The course can be used by:

• individuals as a self-directed introductory course,
• organizations that work with communities on sustainability issues, and
• community groups that are thinking about starting an indicator project.

• Course Manual
  The training manual is a complete guide for presenting the course. It contains descriptions of the four sections of the course, as well as detailed descriptions of each slide. Each slide description includes a small-size copy of the slide, a list of points that the presenter should discuss, and background information related to the slide. The manual is designed to be printed; the printed version can then be used by the presenter who is leading the course.
  To download the Course Manual, click here.
  
  
• Course Slides
  The course slides are black-and-white, 8.5 x 11 inch landscape format pages that can be printed and used to make overhead transparencies. While not specifically designed for this purpose, the slides can be used with Acrobat Reader as the basis of a computer-based presentation.

The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil

Link: http://www.powerofcommunity.org

When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1990, Cuba's economy went into a tailspin. With imports of oil cut by more than half – and food by 80 percent – people were desperate. This film tells of the hardships and struggles as well as the community and creativity of the Cuban people during this difficult time. Cubans share how they transitioned from a highly mechanized, industrial agricultural system to one using organic methods of farming and local, urban gardens. It is an unusual look into the Cuban culture during this economic crisis, which they call "The Special Period." The film opens with a short history of Peak Oil, a term for the time in our history when world oil production will reach its all-time peak and begin to decline forever. Cuba, the only country that has faced such a crisis – the massive reduction of fossil fuels – is an example of options and hope.

The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil is a project of The Community Solution, a non-profit organization that designs and teaches low-energy solutions to the current unsustainable, fossil fuel based, industrialized, and centralized way of living. Visit www.communitysolution.org for more information.

Bhutan's happiness formula

Click on Next to see more.

YOUR PICTURE GALLERY IS NOW LOADING...

The remote Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan is the only country in the world which puts happiness at the heart of government policy.

The government must consider every policy for its impact not only on Gross Domestic Product, but also on GNH: "Gross National Happiness".

The politics of happiness has led Bhutan to make very different decisions from countries simply searching for wealth.

The capital, Thimpu, is remarkable for its lack of advertising. In an attempt to hold back consumerism the city council recently banned hoardings promoting Coke and Pepsi.

Bhutan was the last nation in the world to introduce television in 1999. Recently they banned a number of channels including international wrestling and MTV, which they felt did little to promote happiness.

Bhutan has even banned plastic bags and tobacco on the grounds that they make the country less happy.

The one set of traffic lights Bhutan ever had was on this junction. But people found them frustrating, so they went back to a human being.

Buddhist prayer flags flutter in the wind. In Bhutan the government puts inner spiritual development on a par with material improvement.

One of the pillars of Bhutan's happiness philosophy is care for the environment. Strict conservation laws are aimed at achieving sustainable development.

Development has been moderated and people are less well off financially than they could have been.

Bhutan has been able to adopt radical policies partly because it is a remote kingdom and partly because it is an absolute monarchy.
