Earth First! - The Radical Environmental Journal - http://www.earthfirstjournal.org/ Are you tired of namby-pamby environmental groups? Are you tired of overpaid corporate environmentalists who suck up to bureaucrats and industry? Have you become disempowered by the reductionist approach of environmental professionals and scientists? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then Earth First! is for you. Headwaters Forest Earth First! - http://www.headwatersforest.org/ef/ EF!ers believe that the situation we face is so serious, and the changes demanded by it so massive that the only solution is for people to take their future in their hands and physically halt further destruction of nature, while creating a classless ecological society which will transcend the present one. Earth First UK - http://www.k2net.co.uk/~savage/ef/ The name Earth First! is an exclamation, hence the exclamation mark.

Ecofeminism Class Web Site, USC - http://www-rcf.usc.edu/~orenstei/ecofem/ Welcome to our Web Site! We're glad you could make it to see our class's enormous collection of web sites related to Ecofeminism. Ecofeminism on the Web http://www.geocities.com/Wellesley/8385/ecofemlinks2.html Ecofeminism, as an analysis and a social movement, has the advantage that it is rather simple to explain. In most contexts, the ubiquitous and ambiguous phrase of "Mother Earth" can serve as a useful device in explaining to others just exactly what ecofeminism is. Introduction to Ecofeminism - http://www.runet.edu/~lridener/courses/ecowarrn.html The past few decades have witnessed an enormous interest in both the women's movement and the ecology (environmental) movement. Many feminists have argued that the goals of these two movements are mutually reinforcing; ultimately they involve the development of worldviews and practices that are not based on male-biased models of domination.

The nature of science is ever changing.

Gaia Friends - http://www.gaiafriends.com/gaia/default.htm Here we explore the Gaia Hypothesis as first stated by James Lovelock and Lynn Margulis in 1972 and now considered, by some, to be the Gaia Theory. For those of us who are truly concerned about the survival of our biosphere, this thesis has many useful applications. Some of the more recent applications of the Gaia Hypothesis are presented in James Lovelock's book "Healing Gaia: Practical Medicine for the Planet", Harmony Books/New York, 1991. Center for Frontier Sciences - Lynn Margulis http://www.temple.edu/departments/CFS/margulis.htm This is a list of internet-accessible resources on the work of Prof. Lynn Margulis, one of the scientists who proposed the Gaia Hypothesis. The Gaia Hypothesis - http://ion.com.au/ourplanet/gaia.html Our Planet - Mother Earth - is a Living Being and all life forms are her offspring. Therefore we humans could be said to be "Her" children, with the inherent ability to become super-conscious adults. An Overview of the Gaia Hypothesis - http://www.slip.net/~farb/gaia_overview.htm James Lovelock's Gaia Hypothesis: Past, Present, and Future by Michael Farb. Lovelock (1979) defines the Gaia hypothesis as follows: This postulates that the physical and chemical condition of the surface of the Earth, of the atmosphere, and of the oceans has been and is actively made fit and comfortable by the presence of life itself. GAIA - The Society for Research and Education in Earth System Science - http://www.gaiasociety.org/ The Gaia Society has been formed for both research and education in a comprehensible Earth system science and to help in the distribution of its results and predictions. It is a professional organisation and it welcomes practitioners and students from a variety of backgrounds. Greenpeace International: Climate - http://www.greenpeace.org/~climate/index.html Greenpeace has identified global climate change as one of the greatest threats to the planet.

US Dept of the Interior Geological Survey - Global Change Research Program - http://geochange.er.usgs.gov/ The USGS Global Change Research Program is a component of the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP), complementing research and observations on oceanic, atmospheric, and biological processes in other Federal agencies. Global Climate Change Information Programme - http://www.doc.mmu.ac.uk/aric/gccinfo.html The Global Climate Change Information Programme has established a comprehensive series of essays dealing with the issues of contemporary climate change and global warming: Greenhouse Effect - http://www.science.gmu.edu/~zli/ghe.html The greenhouse effect results from "the dirty of the atmospheric infrared window" by some atmospheric trace gases, permitting incoming solar radiation to reach the surface of the Earth unhindered but restricting the outward flow of infrared radiation. These atmospheric trace gases are referred as greenhouse gases. They absorb and reradiate this outgoing radiation, effectively storing some of the heat in the atmosphere, thus producing a net warming of the surface. The process is called the greenhouse effect. IEA Greenhouse Gas R & D Programme - http://www.ieagreen.org.uk/ghgs.htm Greenhouse gases have been accumulating in the atmosphere since the industrial revolution, almost 250 years ago. Where are these gases coming from? Are they changing the climate? NASA - Greenhouse Effect - http://windows.ivv.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/tour_def?link=/earth/interior/greenhouse_effect.html A planet's atmosphere can sometimes serve as a trap of radiant heat and energy. A photon of energy can enter, but cannot easily find its way out again, somewhat like a pinball in a pinball machine. National Association of Forest Industries - The Greenhouse Effect - http://www.nafi.com.au/faq/greenhouse.html The earth is surrounded by gases that act like a blanket to keep it warm. We call these greenhouse gases and carbon dioxide (CO2) is among them. Scientists call this warming the greenhouse effect. It is a natural feature of planet earth and helps provide the environment for living things, including people. Without greenhouse gases the earth would be too cold for life. Greenhouse Effect - http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Parthenon/5173/about.html The Greenhouse Effect is an extremely vital process where INFRARED (IR) rays from the sun come into the Earth's atmosphere. The atmosphere then traps these rays after they have come in (like the glass in a greenhouse) keeping the Earth warm and habitable. CO2 (carbon dioxide), N2O(nitrous oxide), and CH4(methane) are destroying the atmosphere, causing more INFRARED (IR) rays to reflect on Earth.

Dictionary of Philosophy of Mind - http://www.artsci.wustl.edu/~philos/MindDict/holism.html Holism - The view that parts of a system have significance mostly in virtue of their interrelations with other parts.

Nature's Holism - http://members.xoom.com/_XOOM/ecotao/std-1.htm Nature's Holism is about evolution, ecology and human evolution. It provides a scientifically based argument for an unrecognized ecological process that is similar to the yin and yang of Chinese Taoism. The two inter linked ecological processes that I introduce, I term perpetuity and compatibility. EcoSpirtuality, Holism and Sustainability - http://members.aol.com/putali/NewPutali/ecospirituality.html Ecospirituality: A spiritual view on and context for our relationship with the Earth and the Universe. The Holistic Paradigm - http://www.kheper.auz.com/topics/worldviews/holism.htm Holism. This states that mind is neither dualistically separate from body, nor reducible to it. Rather mind and body form an interdependent gestalt or totality, with each principle dependent on the other for its existence. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Copyright © Carla Moore, 1999 - 2003 All Rights Reserved carlamo@wildmail.com |
