The new issue of Resurgence & Ecologist is now out - catch up with the latest articles online

MANIFESTO FOR A GREEN WORLD

In our March/April 2017 issue you'll find a rich mix of articles, news, arts and book reviews.

Topics in this issue include 'junk fashion' and it's impact on environment; conservation and why nature and beauty are essential for spiritual wellbeing; and a journey through the history of non-violent campaigning.

In our Ecologist section, Thembi Mutch profiles Janet Maro, an agricultural activist in Tanzania, and Susan Canney reports on efforts to save elephants from poaching in a country trying to overcome terrorism and political turmoil.

We also feature the David Hockney's exhibition at Tate Britain, an update on solar technology; the need to protect sacred mountains; and 'Handmade: Stories of Strength to Share through Recipes'.

Many of the articles from our March/April issue are available to read in full on the Resurgence website, so do take a look. We've selected some highlights for you in this newsletter...

Sweden's Shift from Fast to Thrift

We live in an age of excessive consumerism and disposable everything. In Sweden they have introduced tax incentives to encourage people to repair a host of items from household goods to bicycles, to fridges and ovens.

Down the Road

In his regular Diary column for Resurgence & Ecologist, Leo Johnson, co-presenter of Radio 4's Future Proofing, recalls his journey in a driverless car through the streets of Singapore, plays blind cricket, and wonders if technology really can solve the problem of air pollution in Delhi.

Eclectic and entertaining as ever.
