Friends of Gaviotas
Gaviotas is a village of about 200 people in Colombia, South America. For three decades, Gaviotans - peasants, scientists, artists, and former street kids - have struggled to build an oasis of imagination and sustainability in the remote, barren savannas of eastern Colombia, an area ravaged by political terror. They have planted millions of trees, thus regenerating an indigenous rainforest. They farm organically and use wind and solar power. Every family enjoys free housing, community meals, and schooling. There are no weapons, no police, no jail. There is no mayor.

A Crude Awakening
A Crude Awakening, produced and directed by award-winning European journalists and filmmakers Basil Gelpke and Ray McCormack, tells the story of how our civilization’s addiction to oil puts it on a collision course with geology.

Welcome To The Free Soil Party
Free Soil is a different political party, not in any typical category. This is a party for equal opportunity and fair competition, for defending the endangered, linking ecology, free enterprise, civil liberties, independent thought, such things capitalism as practiced finds a nuisance. The economy is warped, its regulations riddled with loopholes. Free Soil proposes another definition of free enterprise, valuing resources taken for granted in proportion to their real value. Usual ways of doing business and politics cannot be sound or credible, except to those true believers the party faithful, as these articles demonstrate.
