Towards an ecological civilization

We loved the new issue of Yes! magazine on moving toward an ecological civilization--especially the introductory article by Jeremy Lent: "As long as government policies emphasize growth in gross domestic product and transnational corporations relentlessly pursue shareholder returns, we will continue accelerating toward global catastrophe," Lent writes. Lent outlines rules to return humans to the natural world. We invite readers to imagine where in Lent's description might the practice of green sabbaths fall.
