Today:Fair Food: Ending Slavery in the Fields Would you believe, here at the beginning of the 21st century, that every order of fast-food served with a slice of tomato is part of a system of slavery and labor abuse that exists right here in the United States? The intense demand for cheap food from the largest corporate buyers drives farm workers into the ground. The courageous labor organizer Lucas Benitez calls for reform at all levels of the food supply chain--from growers and buyers to fast-food corporations and organic grocery chains. And he includes everyone who eats, because we have the market power to demand better treatment of those who harvest their food. (9-33)

Master green chemists and educators John Warner and Amy Cannon say all that is changing by necessity and by design. The radical growth of green chemistry is showing we can have good chemistry with the Earth by emulating nature's green chemistry and do good business at the same time.

Today:An Oil Spill Runs Through It
Corporate Power and the Sliming of American Democracy

Today: From Slavery to Stardust

What Would Healing Look Like?

That is the brave and wrenching journey embraced by Thomas DeWolf, whose white ancestors were once the nation's biggest slave traders, and Belvie Rooks and Dedan Gills, descendants of African people who were enslaved.

In today's radically shifting world, the name of the game is resilience - the capacity of both human and ecological systems to absorb disturbance, roll with the punches and come up standing. Resilience arises from building community - enduring relationships and networks that hold cultural memory in the same way seeds regenerate a forest after a fire. Indigenous leaders Ilarion "Larry" Merculieff and Guadalupe Avila come from old-growth cultures that have sustained community over centuries and millennia. (11-29)

Bread and Roses: Time Poverty, Super- Wealth and the Politics of Happiness
At the same time the Great Recession has inflicted enormous pain and suffering, it has also caused people to take a deeper look at what's really important in our lives. Many are finding that time is not money- time is far more valuable. The acclaimed filmmakers and social entrepreneurs Annie Leonard (The Story of Stuff) and John de Graaf (Seattle Area Happiness Initiative) pop the Big Question: What's the economy for, anyway? Is it a voracious cycle of perpetual growth and more stuff? Or can we create growth within the natural limits of the planet to produce sufficiency, a high quality of life- and real happiness?!

Today: The Green-Collar: Economy Jobs, Justice and Prosperity
Just how dumb do they think we are? Who would believe that destroying the ecosystems on which all life depends, while dis-employing more and more people, is somehow good for the economy? But exactly that fiction of jobs versus the environment has been successfully marketed to us. Community organizers Van Jones and Majora Carter propose a radically simple solution for both environmental destruction and social inequality: Bring the rising green revolution to low-income, urban America.
