While most political and media dialogue on the health of our society focuses on how to stimulate and distribute the benefits of an ever larger economy, there's increasing reasons to think the structure of the 20th century economy may have been an historical anomaly. What is the scientific evidence as to why our economy won't continue to grow like it used to? How can we get past greenwashing to make a liveable transition towards life after growth?

This is part one of a two-part primer on the nature, inevitability, and speed of biospheric and civilizational collapse.

Public Comment: "Great video! Thank you for compiling all your research and presenting this so clearly and genuinely. I woke up to this in the 80’s, moved to a rural location as close to a clean water source as possible, and strive to live every day with love in my heart for my family and others. Overshoot is so obvious and many of the people in power being clueless. Like a terminal cancer patient being bombarded with radiation, will this enhance the quality of our last years? Better to eat healthily, slow down, consume less, get your affairs in order, hold your dear ones close. And my dear ones include trees, plants and animals."

This is part two of a two-part primer on the nature, inevitability, and speed of biospheric and civilizational collapse. Part one, "Collapse In a Nutshell" can be found above: It is nearly impossible to truly understand (i.e., to get your head and heart around) our current local and global-scale challenges without this understanding. To join with others (in the "post-doom, no gloom" community) to share best practices and strategies for how to cope and adapt to this knowledge, see here: https://postdoom.com/discussions/

Leaving behind their cosmopolitan life, a couple and their three young children embark on the journey of a lifetime. They travel the ends of the earth searching for a new perspective on life. In their five-year journey across six continents, they live with some of the oldest indigenous communities on the planet. They gain access to tribal sages never filmed or interviewed before, without a crew or schedule, just one backpack and one camera each. And the curiosity to listen.

They meet the most humble yet charismatic people; unknown individuals who live under the radar of our modern society in connection with the natural world. The film reveals the deep wisdom the family discover in their conversations with these 'Earth Keepers' and its power to transform lives. Having lived in hiding for centuries, the Earth Keepers see that now is the time to step forward and share their insights with those who are ready to listen.

The BSIA hosted renowned biologists Dr. Anthony Barnosky and Dr. Elizabeth Hadly on November 11, 2016. The authors of "Tipping Point for Planet Earth: How Close Are We to the Edge?" discuss how we know that planetary tipping points happen, why we seem on the brink of one, and what each of us can do to help the world tip in a direction that is good for people and the planet, rather than one that will harm both.
