On March 13, WECAN and the Indigenous Women's Treaty Alliance petitioned the Army Corps of Engineers in Washington D.C. They demanded a robust environmental review of the proposed Line 5 crude oil pipeline reroute.

Enbridge's Line 5 operates illegally, threatening sacred ecosystems, clean water, treaty territories, and the global climate. Despite opposition, Enbridge plans a reroute and expansion. Activists insist Line 5 must be shut down and decommissioned, not merely rerouted.

The Indigenous Women's Treaty Alliance, supported by WECAN, Sierra Club, and community allies, delivered the petition. WECAN has facilitated the Alliance, comprising Great Lakes Indigenous women leaders, since 2022.

Join Pathways to Planetary Health for a discussion with Rebecca Henderson (Harvard University) and Jonathan F.P. Rose. They will explore modern capitalism's failings and how purpose-driven businesses can foster sustainable, ethical economies with motivated personnel. Henderson highlights capitalism's success but also its self-destructive risk, asserting that purpose is crucial.

Cutting-edge research shows that firms prioritizing social value over pure profit are significantly more productive and creative, driving essential social and political change. This interactive online event is part of the Garrison Institute’s Forum on Pathways to Planetary Health (PPH), which examines the moral and behavioral dimensions of regenerative solutions.

The Garrison Institute's first 2022 Pathways to Planetary Health (PPH) Forum, recorded on January 25, featured Dr. Haley Mellin (Art-to-Acres, Conserve.org) and Dr. Steven Brumby (Impact Observatory). Joined by co-founder Jonathan F.P. Rose, they discussed innovative large-scale conservation, biodiversity's role in planetary health, and visualization to support these goals.

The event focused on the "Half-Earth" pathway, which emphasizes conserving 50% of terrestrial and ocean areas by 2050 in biodiversity-rich zones and connecting corridors. This aims to stabilize life and climate, though it is one necessary component of planetary health, not singularly sufficient. Learn more about all four PPH pathways and events here.

Thaalavattam is a collaborative music project founded by environmentalist and musician Montry Manuel. Based in Austria, Montry crafts unique instruments from discarded materials like industrial waste, paint cans, and bicycle parts. Its motto, "Reduce Reuse Retune," embodies the vision to "CLEAN THE ENVIRONMENT THROUGH MUSIC," drawing inspiration from nature, everyday life, and found objects.

Montry, a former art director and founding member of the Indian band Swarathma, launched Thaalavattam ("A Circle of Rhythm") in 2011, creating music from found objects. Thaalavattam gained international recognition as the first live act from India at Hungary's O.Z.O.R.A. Music Festival (2014-2016). They have since performed at TEDx Vienna and numerous European festivals, blending innovative sound with environmental advocacy. Learn more about TEDx events here.

Climate finance is vital for combating climate change, requiring genuine sustainability, not false solutions. At COP28, Raya Salter, Tom Goldtooth, and Dan Galpern analyzed financial flows, their impact, and legal actions for misuse. They emphasized immediate action over fossil fuel "band-aids."

The current food system is failing and unsustainable. Leaders offer inadequate solutions to hunger and poverty, a critical issue given the UN's projection of 2 billion more people by 2050, primarily in urban areas.

Achieving a fair, just, and equitable food system requires radical new thinking and significant effort. Renowned food activist Karen Washington argues for a dramatic transformation, not just a fix.

This excerpt is from a panel presentation at the Business In The Community Ireland Summit on Corporate Responsibility, held in November 2010.

The panel featured experts including James Quincey (The Coca-Cola Company), Sir Stuart Rose (Marks & Spencer), and Gerard O'Neill of Amarach Research.

O'Neill highlighted how marketers' 'pricing trap' hinders sustainability initiatives. He argued that while price accounts for only 30% of a purchase decision, emotion and feelings drive 70%. Emphasizing trust and the social environment is crucial for consumers to move beyond price-driven choices.

Jamie Bristow, co-director of The Mindfulness Initiative and a leader in applying mindfulness to public life, discusses the critical inner dimension of climate change. He emphasizes the need to heal our disconnection from ourselves, each other, and nature, fostering resilience for planetary health through mindfulness and compassion.

In conversation with Garrison Institute co-founder Jonathan F.P. Rose, Bristow shares findings from MI’s "Reconnection: Meeting the Climate Crisis Inside Out" report. This landmark study links internal transformation to environmental sustainability, incorporating insights from policymakers and research.
