Every once in awhile something appears in my inbox that is worth sharing and since I no longer use antisocial media l do my sharing here. As some of you might know, I spent a good deal of my academic career writing about the environmental movements of the 1970s and the ways in which they contributed to what I have termed the “making of green knowledge” and the broader ecological transformations that have taken place in the world – in spite of all the anti-environmental nonsense that seems to have taken over the political and cultural “mainstreams”.
Anyway, my academic career is long over, but I have tried to keep exploring green knowledge through the books at the shop and by subscribing to various email newsletters and other would-be sources of information. So when the newsletter of the Resurgence Trust appeared in my inbox, as it does on a regular basis, I thought I could share it. The Resurgence Trust is one of the survivors of the environmental movements of the 1970s that continues to publish books and a magazine, having joined forces with The Ecologist some years ago, and hosts a wide range of events online as well as at the Resurgence Centre in England. For those who continue to believe, as I do, that an ecological reformation of our societies is not only desirable but necessary, the activities of the Resurgence Trust are well worth following and supporting.
