Antarctica, Secrets Beneath the Ice
The community of McMurdo Station on the West Antarctica ice shelf has a resident population of around 200 people. This number grows to over 1,000 when conditions are favourable for scientific research. Almost three miles of ice buries most of Antarctica, cloaking a continent half again as large as the United States. But when an Antarctic ice shelf the size of Manhattan collapsed in less than a month in 2002, it shocked scientists and raised the alarming possibility that Antarctica may be headed for a meltdown. Even a 10 percent loss of Antarctica’s ice would cause catastrophic flooding of coastal […]

We The People – Local Communities Dismantling Corporate Rule
Community Rights educator Paul Cienfuegos explains how “We The People” are exercising the authority to govern ourselves and dismantle corporate rule.

Pittsburgh upshifted the approach: Rather than define what we don’t want, define what we DO want. Their “Right to Water” stopped natural […]
Good Neighbours | Local Communities
Really good neighbours watch out for each other. They ask each other for advice, and offer to help, especially on matters that impact the larger neighbourhood. They respect each others’ boundaries but are quick to assist in a crisis. They look for opportunities to collaborate and to socialize. Great neighbours make for great neighbourhoods, and it is well worth the effort. Local community living conditions are greatly improved overall, when people treat each other with consideration.
Music and the perception of self in a community.
There is a definite relationship between music and the perception of self in a community. The music of a given time period tends to reflect the emotions, political scheme, socioeconomic strife and ethical perspective of the society that has the power to communicate beyond words to evoke emotion, promote development and create a sense of identity and culture. With so much in the world being handled in digital media, what is the role of choirs in creating real community between individuals? Composer Eric Whitacre answers Classical MPR’s Brian Newhouse.
