Here is the link to a recording of our second Zui (a zoom hui – thanks to John Peet for the new term).

Below is the list of questions posed after the video. As promised we are sharing them with all participants, along with some replies below.

There are many great questions posed, reflecting that we seem to have a well informed and action oriented group. Many of these questions could take volumes to adequately address, so please forgive the brief replies. As we proceed with more zoom meetings we can explore many of these issues together more thoroughly.

Here is the recording of the Economy of Enough webinar from 12 August that captures both the video and questions and comments.

This morning about 10 climate activists showed up at Downstream 2020, the electricity industry’s annual celebration of its progress over the past year. Here I explain the meaning of four of the signs that were carried.

Heal the planet! By using the sun’s energy to rebuild the plant and animal systems we have destroyed.

A collection of wonderful tributes from our supporters in remembrance of the late Jeanette Fitzsimons.
