ABOUTMaking sense of changeThis is a gathering place to share ideas and stories about different ways of thriving under conditions of global change. Subscribe to podcast >>>
Our globalized and highly networked industrial society is confronting the limits to growth in materials and energy use.

How we process these events will determine whether or not we inflame other social divisions along the way. How do people and communities sense, name, and get ahead of slow-burning change? |
