Be like Water: Becoming Nature Again with the River Dôn Project and Jonny Douglas - Accidental Gods #296
Clean Water is part of our heritage and a basic Right of being alive. We should be able to drink from our river, swim in our seas. This week we explore the River Dôn Project which is working to create vibrant life in the whole catchment area.
Water is our lifeblood and Clean Water (along with Clean Air and Clean Soil) is one of our core Three Asks, the non-negotiable baselines that underpin a flourishing future for people and life on our planet. Getting there, means everyone beginning to care at a bone-deep level, way beneath our conscious minds and having a sense of how we might get there, supported by evidence of what works (or doesn’t) so that we can create positive feedback loops of growing community between the human and Beyond-Human worlds.
Building networks of citizen power with James Lock of Opus in Sheffield - Accidental Gods #279
Modernity is collapsing around us. So how can we compost its remains, to grow something constructive, generative, connected communities that can act as a bridge from where we are towards that future we’d be proud to leave behind?
We all know the current system of predatory capitalism is not fit for purpose. We don’t (yet) all agree on how to fix it, but for sure, no problem is solved from the mindset that created it. So how do we begin to compost the debris of the failing system and grow something constructive, generative, connected communities that can act as a bridge from where we are towards that future we’d be proud to leave behind?
