		<description><![CDATA[This morning’s program had this interesting segment about a book called Abundance: The Future is Better Than You Think. It offers a glimpse of classic techno-optimism. Yes, it is very tempting to pin our hopes on technology to save us from the crises created by our recent binge. But seeing as how technology fed the binge, I see no logical basis for that hope.

		<description><![CDATA[As long as our society insists we keep chasing the Holy Grail of never-ending economic growth, and as long as we keep growing our populations, crap like fracking will be thrown at us. We face a daily barrage of incursions and threats to our ecosystems – our life support. Those with an ecological conscience rise up and fight. They struggle against pipelines, dams, GMOs, freeways, sprawl, power plants, and more. But the barrage continues, and it will – as long as we can’t kick the habit of growth addiction. <a href="http://www.growthbusters.org/2012/01/focus-our-outrage-where-it-will-count/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I believe we should thank elected representatives who have the courage to embrace the end of growth and stop wasting precious resources trying to get another hit of that destructive drug. We should thank the President for not making yet another huge environmental sacrifice in the interest of fueling growth. But I remind you it is painfully apparent Obama either doesn't understand the era of growth is over, or doesn't feel he can be honest with the electorate about that and keep his job. <a href="http://www.growthbusters.org/2012/01/president-stands-up-to-growth-boosters/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

Each year this festival screens films related to consciousness and change. Clearly GrowthBusters is a perfect match for this festival.

		<description><![CDATA[I just finished a great conversation via Skype with an audience in Salem, Oregon who viewed GrowthBusters tonight. Thanks to the Salem Progressive Film Series, I was able to answer questions and participate in the event without jumping on a jet airplane, increasing my footprint, and decreasing my bank account. The questions and comments indicated this audience understands it is time for some great change! I promised the crowd I’d share a couple things via my blog. The first of which is a link to great commentary written by former Salem Mayor Mike Swaim.  <a href="http://www.growthbusters.org/2012/01/how-do-i-become-a-growthbuster/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Even if we could, it wouldn’t be in our best interest to consume our way out of recession. Today is the biggest shopping day of the year, known as Black Friday. Is that something to celebrate? Or is it something we should try to change? In the U.S., the National Retail Federation is expecting a record number of people to shop today – nearly half the entire population. Shopping will be the number one news story today and throughout the weekend. That will be followed by a flurry of news reports about Cyber Monday. <a href="http://www.growthbusters.org/2011/11/dont-shop/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve heard from a few of you anxious for a report on the GrowthBusters World Premiere. Apologies for keeping you in suspense. The last four weeks were a whirlwind of activity for me.

First was the presentation and sneak preview of clips at the Center for Environmental Filmmaking on October 25. The next week was our World Premiere in Washington DC on November 2. A week later we held the Colorado Premiere, and then last week was the Bay Area Premiere. <a href="http://www.growthbusters.org/2011/11/growthbusters-premiere-report/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Christian Broadcasting Network took a swipe at GrowthBusters last week – the day before our world premiere. I will admit I hope the release of this film generates increased national and global dialogue about overpopulation. So I’m glad CBN felt called to report on our film. We were even discussed by Pat Roberts on the 700 Club. Of course not all media outlets go out of their way to present facts objectively. We were not contacted by any CBN reporters or producers to react to the views they presented. <a href="http://www.growthbusters.org/2011/11/network_takes_aim_at_growthbusters/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
