    <description><![CDATA[This is an experimental space for alumni, friends and staff at the College to discuss topical issues relating to course subjects, other matters on transformative learning and sustainability, and for alumni to connect and reconnect. We will be running the forum for a four month trial period to see how useful it proves. This is part of on-going on-line developments to support global learning through Schumacher College.
 
Please do join the discussions and remember that we are here to debate but also to respect each other and to enjoy the company of the many College associates around the world. ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Since I am a student doing a PhD in Environmental Studies at a UK university, I was especially interested in this part of the seminar and I found the discussions around this theme fascinating. 

I have been trying for some time now to think of a good way to step up something on my campus that will instill an environmental education (sense of place, connection with nature, personal responsibility, empowerment). So I was especially interested in one participant's question: How can we ensure that environmental education goes beyond formal education. And one of the subsequent replies: The most important thing is to let students fall in love with nature and rediscover their personal sense of connection with the planet. 

I have been mulling over this since the lecture. How can I set up something on campus that tries to reconnect students from all over the world with their personal sense of the planet? Most of them are here only temporarily and deeply entrenched within their own disciplinary boundaries. It is easy to let children out into the open and say: 'Play!' They can then go ahead and discover Nature on their own terms. How can I do the same with students between the ages of 16 and 25? 

Some ideas: 
Through art - 
* Creative writing: Pick a theme, species, season, weather, time of day that moves you. Write about it in the first person. 
*Painting: Pick a nice day, buy bucketfulls of paint, organize an organic barbeque and ask students to paint their version of a beautiful world. I imagine the end result to be a huge, towering, blazing mural of colour and ideas. Have the mural set up as a permanent exhibit on campus. 
*Photography: Have a photography contest. Cliche and small amount of participants, but potentially some stunning and moving results. 

Through teaching - 
*Have informal teaching/learning sessions around topical issues of environmental interest. Ask students to develop ideas to solve campus-based problems and get support from the university to implement the most efficient / cost-effective idea in conjunction with student effort. 
*Organize nature walks around the campus in different seasons 
* Introduce the birds, beasts and trees to the students! - Have Estates Management/a group of students make maps of walking trails with species / sites well marked, and their natural history mentioned. Have a food-web map on campus! 
*Have outdoor meditation sessions during exam week (and then hopefully, beyond exam week) 


These are some rough ideas. 
I would dearly love to hear people's opinions, especially if they have already set up something on a campus.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[What is meant by sustainability?

By &quot;sustainability&quot; I understand a state of dynamic rest, a state in which very existence is not a matter of chasing after a solid rational ground upon which to stand, in which the day is free from the demand to supply reasons for its unfolding out of and into night, where all beings first and foremost belong to themselves and where the interaction between beings flows out of that belonging.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Sustainability is related to another key word - dependance.
Most of the &quot;growth&quot; is a direct result of i=unrenewable resources to which we as a civilization became dependant. Sustainability could be measured by quality of life - fresh air, healthy enviroment, peace and prosperity. Unfortunately there is a direct link to the whole modern concept of investment with the selfdestructive patterns of  so called &quot; development&quot;. Unfortunately big players as world bank, goverment institutions even UN continue to be hypocritical. Theyr official policy and the instruments the use are contradicting each other. I do not want to go further, analyzing these self- destructive loops, because in the whole concept of interest, loans, stock markets and inflation in other words the money as they operate today are eroding the balance between man and nature. 
Sustainability IS a contardiction if we keep thinking in old terms about the world financing system. Pressure to devaluate life and natural resources is inevitable!  Sustainability IS NOt a contardiction if we could start developing independant small communities which are  sustainable and rely only on inteligent choices, human inteligence, simbiothic patterns of harvesting renewable resoources. 
The most urgent issues is consensus building and urgent need for ethical investment. 
Barriers for implementing sustainable development are related to the core values of our (not only ) western &quot;free market&quot;societies.

Critical mass is on its way just the collapse of the whole world finance system will catalyse the process further. In leap- nations like some in the south Amercia and south- east Asia the term critical mass is obsolete - solar cookers are mass produced there, adobe houses are the traditional way of building. 
There will be no ecological crisis as pictured in some apocaliptic movies . Mother nature is the perfect self- adjusting mechanism. Just how much of us-human species  could adjust and survive is not clear.

Peace and Prosperity ,

      <description><![CDATA[Hi Guys

I was talking this morning about coming down to follow the second module of the Cert. Ed. course and my friend asked me &quot;what does it involve&quot;? This is an easier question to answer thatn &quot;what is it about&quot;, but both of them seem to demand non-trivial answers. I feel like saying what it is not rather than what it is, as if we have no commonly understood word for what it _is_ and so if I were to use one or two words to describe it, the connotation of those words would not be what I intend to communicate about my experience of the course. On one hand this is great because it encourges me to speak of my own experience of the course rather than to resort to expectations of common understanding or external authority. And on the other hand,it makes it hard to give a timely and yet powerful answer before we arrive at the next tube stop and my friend gets off. 

What do other people say when asked this sort of question about the Cert. Ed course. And what about the MSc? What do you guys say?

      <description><![CDATA[Here are a few questions on this theme from the seminar on 8th March 2008 in London:


- We can talk about educating children by allowing them to respond to nature – but what about children in inner cities?

- How can we ensure that education reform goes beyond formal education?

- How can universities and colleges take up the challenge of sustainability and ecological development – how do we shift from the current (profit motivated/industry) paradigm of universities?]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hi Barnaby

In my view the nature of the Holistic Science MSc at Schumacher does not allow it to translate very well into a distance learning programme. Schumacher does however run short courses each year in Holistic Science, I recommend you attend one of those, and get in contact with the college directly. As far as I know the event in June this year is for alumni and past lecturers only.

Best regards

      <description><![CDATA[Hello Galeo,

I envy those of you who have been on this course. I have been studying and researching many subjects around holistic science, metaphysics and theosophy and the failings of materialistic and atomistic science for many years now. However, much as I would like to undertake this course, other commitments have prevented me from embarking on a full time course, and I dearly hope that sometime soon, the College will offer this as a distance learning course of study, maybe with two or three (or more) short mandatory workshops at Schumacher College as part of the distance course. 

Is this June event you mention open to those like myself who have not been on this MSc course but have a deep interest in the subject? 

Best regards,

I'm looking for Joseph Roevens (sp?). I forget which of the courses he was on. I think he was from the Netherlands.

I haven't heard from Alice or Morag for a long time. Morag and Evan came to visit us on Cape Cod about 5 years ago, and I haven't heard from her since then.

      <title>Re: Jonathon Porritt</title>
      <link>http://www.schumachercollege.org.uk/forum/read.php?23,83,88#msg-88</link>
      <author>jamesg</author>
      <description><![CDATA[I wasn't on the course 'Can the Earth survive capitalism' but agree that the Earth can't survive capitalism as it is. Denial aside, that should be obvious to everyone. 

In his article (http://www.schumachercollege.org.uk/learning-resources/denial-and-demise) Sir John eloquently offers two routes. 1: Wait for collapse and self-organising emergence of a new order based upon caring values (which avoids questions of the actual design of this order). Or 2: drop out (which leaves prevailing capitalism unchanged). On the course (http://www.schumachercollege.org.uk/courses/can-the-earth-survive-capitalism) Sir John makes the common assertion that economic growth is incompatible with environmental sustainability, though this is true only under the current design of capitalism and would not apply if capitalism was reformed to generate the massive investments now needed globally. Sir John proposes a 'solution' based upon replacing profit goals with carbon emissions targets, which raises questions about how to replace the motivating power of profit and how to deal with the many global problems besides climate change. Would a world of loss-making charitable nuclear power businesses fulfill this vision?

I've read Jonathon Porritt's book which seems to take us further. Yes, markets are better than no markets.  Yes, 'no growth' under capitalism would not further the cause of environmental sustainability. Yes, price is the most powerful source of information in a market economy. Unfortunately Porritt then assumes that prices can be corrected by the wise intervention of government taxes (don't hold your breath) and his further analysis of economic growth focuses on green alternatives to GDP. Apart from being unattractive to politicians who benefit from conventional GDP (which goes up when things go wrong) the damage done by current activity is only measurable in the future. So there's no point guessing at macro-adjustments to GDP that cannot anyway inform micro-level decisions throughout the economy. 

Having missed the opportunity to really consider prices, the book goes on but without advancing any apparent reform of capitalism. There is a passing mention of the possibility for closed loop (zero net waste) production and consumption but the potential for this as a problem-preventing model of capitalism is not developed. Porritt then leaves the subject of market reform and covers action by different sectors; international, government, businesses and consumers - all on the assumption that markets are not reformed sustainably.  
 
If this leaves anyone wondering how then to reform capitalism sustainably I'll happily forward a paper covering this, written for the NATO Science Programme. There is a macro instrument for international security and a micro instrument for global sustainable development including climate change. Please email me via this forum's reply by PM link.

I did not attend the course, though I attended &quot;Economics for a Green World&quot; in 2005. I read Sir John Whitmore's devastating critique of where we are now on the Schumacher website. This seemed to conflict with Jonathon Porritt's &quot;Capitalism as if the World Matters&quot; though I have not read the book yet, just reviews of it. Did you discuss Porritt on the course? Did the course arrive at any consensus on an alternative to market capitalism?]]></description>

Any alumni/helpers/staff from 1993-94 out there? Sustainability with the Todds, Deep Ecology with Arne Naess, others?

I'm at home on Cape Cod with my wife Nancy and our two boys, Ben and Jack. I work as a school counselor, and have written a mystery novel that is getting some attention.

      <author>joão batista da silva oliveira</author>
      <description><![CDATA[Meu objetivo aqui é realizar uma provocação a respeito da aplicação da Teoria denominada Autopoiese como recurso de fechar o sistema capitalista aos fluxos de matéria e energia, minimizando os impactos ecológicos. 

As hipóteses são:

1) O Sistema capitalista não pode ser visto como autopoiético, mas sim como uma máquina de dinâmica não-autopoiética. Alopoiética, portanto.

2) À medida em que se fecha o sistema aos fluxos de materiais e energia, mediante incrementos de produtividade do fator de produção terra decorre que:

a) Por elevar a produtividade do fator de produção terra, eleva-se consequentemente a produtividade marginal do capital, que parao capitalista &quot;é um prato cheio&quot;.

b) Elevando a produtividade do capital decorre que para elevar os níveis de emprego são requeridos um volume maior de K/L (capital por trabalhador, coeficiente de capital), denunciando que no longo prazo há um trade-off entre reduções dos impactos ecológicos de um lado e desemprego de outro. Que a redução dos impactos eleva os níveis de desemprego, pois poupadora de mão-de-obra, elevando consideravelmente o ganho do capitalista.

3) Que a teoria Autopoiese no âmbito do sistema capitalista serve apenas como marco teórico a um conceito ideal e/ou operacional de sustentabilidade.

Qual a opinião de vocês?]]></description>

      <title>MSc 10th Anniversary</title>

      <description><![CDATA[2008 marks the 10th year of the MSc in Holistic Science. The invitations for a celebration have gone out . . . its time to get motivated.

So where is Holistic Science now 10 years down the line? How has our participation in the MSc coloured our lives? Where are we as a group taking this way of science in addressing the challenges of our time? Or was it just a fun course?

The opportunity to gather in June is a unique chance we all have to reconnect with what is still only a small sprout pushing through into the future. So I would like to invite all of you past and present students, lecturers  and everyone with an interest, to already begin to connect and start a dialogue on this forum that may make the few short days we spend together in June so much more meaningful and worth the long journey to Dartington. 

I guess one starting point might be: what would you like to see emerge from the gathering of close to 100 holistic minds?

      <description><![CDATA[I have done some research into this and found out that there are recycling facilities in most (all?) counties for low-energy bulbs.  The mercury is re-used in the medical supplies industry (thermometers, I suppose).  Incidentally, the amount of mercury found in these kinds of bulbs is more than compensated for the by the reduced amount of mercury emitted by power stations as a consequence of lower energy usage.  Most experts agree that mercury is better inside an appliance than floating around in the atmosphere!]]></description>
