Abstract

Today humanity uses, on average, the equivalent of 1.6 earths to provide the resources we use and to absorb our waste. A pathway to sustainable resource use is the circular economy. This concept aims at optimising the value of the resources used and to minimise the amount of resources used. The author addresses the question of what kind of law we need to realize a circular economy. He argues that many legal frameworks and rules on the national and the European level will have to be reconsidered, amended and some completely newly framed to foster a truly circular economy.This is the inaugural lecture which Professor Chris Backes delivered on 12 April 2017 on the occasion of accepting the Chair of Environmental and Planning Law at Utrecht University School of Law, Utrecht Centre for Water, Oceans and Sustainability Law.

Abstract

Most Americans take for granted much of what is materially involved in the daily rituals of dwelling. In Dwelling in Resistance, Chelsea Schelly examines four alternative U.S. communities-"The Farm," "Twin Oaks," "Dancing Rabbit," and "Earthships"-where electricity, water, heat, waste, food, and transportation practices differ markedly from those of the vast majority of Americans. Schelly portrays a wide range of residential living alternatives utilizing renewable, small-scale, de-centralized technologies. These technologies considerably change how individuals and communities interact with the material world, their natural environment, and one another. Using in depth interviews and compelling ethnographic observations, the book offers an insightful look at different communities' practices and principles and their successful endeavors in sustainability and self-sufficiency.

In addition to tips and recipes, Corrigan and Orr profile individuals who are on the front lines of the changing food ecosystem, detailing the challenges they and the local food movement face.

Abstract

Questões contemporâneas como as que remetem para conceitos de ponto de referência natural, de sustentabilidade ou sobre o impacto antrópico nas variáveis ambientais carecem, mais do que nunca, duma aproximação prudente e fundamentada. Demasiadas vezes em demasiados contextos, a leitura excitada e "tremendista" de acontecimentos naturais tem conduzido ao alarmismo na comunicação social e à manipulação social e política das comunidades a diferentes escalas.

Abstract

"In From Me to We: The Five Transformational Commitments Required to Rescue the Planet, Your Organization, and Your Life, systems change expert Bob Doppelt reveals that most people today live a dream world, controlled by false perceptions and beliefs. The most deeply held illusion is that all organisms on Earth, including each of us, exist as independent entities. At the most fundamental level, the change needed to overcome our misperceptions is a shift from focusing only on "me"--Our personal needs and wants - to also prioritizing the broader "we": the many ecological and social relationships each of us are part of, those that make life possible and worthwhile. Research shows that by using the techniques described in this book this shift is possible - and not that difficult to achieve. From Me to We offers five transformational "commitments" that can help you change your perspective and engage in activities that will help resolve today's environmental and social problems. Not coincidentally, making these commitments can improve the quality of your life as well. Bob Doppelt's latest book is a wake-up call to the creed of individualism. He calls for recognition of the laws of interdependence, cause and effect, moral justice, trusteeship, and free will. The book will be essential to all of those interested in how we can create and stimulate a sea change in how to enable the necessary behavioral change we need to deal with the myriad environmental and social pressures consuming the planet."--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

Klimawandel, Ressourcenverknappung und Wirtschaftskrisen auf der einen Seite, Wachstumsparadigma, Massenkonsum und Wegwerfmentalität auf der anderen - immer mehr Menschen überwinden diese Widersprüche in Nischen und setzen sich dafür ein, Dinge länger in Nutzungskreisläufen zu halten: Teilen und Tauschen sowie Reparieren und Retten werden als Möglichkeiten gedeutet, nachhaltiger zu leben und damit zu gesellschaftlicher Transformation beizutragen. Ausgehend von den zentralen Akteuren in drei exemplarischen Feldern - Kleidertauschpartys, Reparaturcafés und Mülltauchen - untersucht Maria Grewe in einer vergleichend angelegten Ethnographie die kulturellen Strategien im Umgang mit Überfluss und Knappheit und prüft dabei, welchen Beitrag kulturanthropologische Forschung für den Nachhaltigkeitsdiskurs leisten kann. »Maria Grewe liefert mit der vorliegenden Publikation einen dichten und anschaulichen Einblick in die beschriebenen Phänomene. Für zukünftige Auseinandersetzungen mit dem Thema [...] sicherlich eine Pflichtlektüre.« Sonja Windmüller, Bayerisches Jahrbuch für Volkskunde, 03.07.2020 Besprochen in: Rundbrief des Begegnungszentrums für aktive Gewaltlosigkeit 160/2 (2017) Das Archiv, 3 (2019), Eva Apraku
