(3rd panel) Teach-In on why Technology will not save the world. 45 Scholars, Authors & Activists over two days provide an analysis on why immediate change is required in our thinking, behavior, values and economies.
"We start with the Primacy of Scale. Not large scale, smale scale. Not global, local. Not faster, slower. Not more, less. Not top-down, bottom-up. Not private, shared. Not investor-owned, community-owned. Not more tech, less tech. Not meta-economics, micro-economics. Not Competitive, collaborative. Not more trade, less trade. Not more energy, less energy. Not big business, small business. Where do we go from here?" (event program)
Women on the front lines of fightback against the assault of International Capital and government officials tell their stories; they recount their strategies, local successes and detail their determination to defend Nature which is integral with all communities.
