CT302 Lecture 2: Week 2 Sept. 15
Document Summary
Ipcc- not supposed to be politicised, where most scientists to go for up to date information. Klein says the progressive steps we individuals are taking are not good enough. Beautiful solutions: creative ideas about joyful moments of resistance about ideas how we can live and what we"d gain not lose. We don"t value those things that really matter: most are about face to face interaction. Not a radical jump, we just need to create those conditions more. Toms maine, burt"s bees are bought out by companies they seem to threaten. Labour movements, women"s rights movement- all challenged capitalism (grow or die ethics) and created sustainability in society. Movement itself gets tamed, don"t bring in radicals but are brought into the structures that they challenged and are integrated into our infrastructure. This voice comes with conditions (this is dangerous) Too many cracks in the fa ade of the american dream- we don"t buy into it anymore.
