When I’m in a situation like this where things are almost completely out of my control, I don’t stress what I’m not doing or can’t do and instead get my Teaspoons of Change lens out and think about what are the small but significant choices, decisions and action I CAN make to ...

anyone can see that if your goal is to reduce CO2 you’ll build nuclear plants by the dozen. Nope: place mirrors in the desert that don’t work! Student loans – how often do you hear anyone suggest making them dischargable in bankruptcy? Hardly ever, if at all – and it is the ...

This is not just a farmer’s issue. If you eat, you are part of this cycle. The DNA modifications in crops affect not just plants but the animals—and humans—that consume them. Monsanto and its corporate allies have never studied the long-term effects on human health, because profit was...
Discussing the failures around the infamous accident at the Three Mile Island nuclear facility in 1979, the book looks at the situation faced by operators in the control room: An indicator light in the control room led operators to believe that the valve was closed. But in reality, the light...
After the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic caused by the H1N1 virus, the recent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) brought us to the time of serious global healt
