Catch As Quechua Can		09 Aug 2002	Daily Grist
Catch As Quechua Can Until recently, there were only two roads out of poverty for Ecuador's Quechua people: cutting down the rainforest (thereby destroying habitat and soil fertility alike) or trading with warring factions in neighboring Colombia (thereby opening the door for that country's violence to spread into Ecuador).

Tread-milling About Why do we compete even though we know it hurts us?	Donella H. Meadows	11 Sep 2000	Global Citizen
Not beary funny. Photo: Art Wolfe, Inc. I've heard the joke about the bear before, and so, probably, have you. Two guys are sitting outside their tent in a forest campsite when they see a huge angry bear charging toward them. One starts lacing up his running shoes. The other says, "Are you crazy?

Two Mindsets, Two Visions of Sustainable Agriculture	Donella H. Meadows	03 Aug 1999	Global Citizen
"I guess you must be in favor of pesticides," concluded a Monsanto public relations guy, after I objected to his company's genetically engineered potato. "I guess it's okay with you if people starve," said a botanist I deeply respect, with whom I have carried out a fervent argument about genetic engineering. Accusations like these astonish me. I'm an organic farmer; I'm not in favor of p ...
