Commentary on electric cars, solar panels, and energy consumption.

"Why did the Ivory-billed Woodpecker and not the Pileated Woodpecker go extinct? And why it's important to know." An essay soon to appear on Scale Down Substack. https://scaledown.substack.com

A great discussion on overpopulation, overconsumption, and extreme anthropocentrism, forces that are taking down nature and causing untold harm to life on Earth.

Iranian-born Nastaran Rahnama discusses her beautiful and at the same time sobering film "Space to Live." It is about life—including us. And about the challenges of addressing overpopulation as it relates to overconsumption.

On education, politics, optimism, and the fight to save the world.

An excellent personal account by Dr. Dusti Becker (Scale Down moderator) on nature, population, and consumerism.
