The Cancer of Growth

The RAM'S HORN - Brewster Kneen

There is a cancer referred to as The Economy which is growing world-wide – in Canada, the USA, Brazil, Indonesia, Nigeria, Turkey, Mexico. It accompanies a notion – nay, ideological fantasy – that growth is a universal remedy for an ailing – or failing – economy. This is profoundly odd since the primary characteristic of cancer is that it endeavours to consume its host. Details here.

Less Than 2 Days Left to Help Manitoba's Caribou!

Dear Larry, Only 48 hours left to join our Week for the Wild and  help the woodland caribou in Manitoba! We gave ourselves just 7 days to find 50 people who  care to help the woodland caribou. With your help,  we’ve raised over $200 in Manitoba and we’re  not done yet! Can you help us reach our goal of finding 30 more people  who care about the woodland caribou? If you haven’t  already, please consider making a special, one-time gift of just $11.50  to help protect the woodland caribou's remaining Boreal forest habitat. The woodland caribou needs our help. Let’s make the next 48 hours  count – join our Week for the Wild now. Thanks for your continued support. Don't forget to follow us on  Facebook and Twitter for updates! Yours in conservation, Ron Thiessen Executive Director, CPAWS Manitoba
