Starhawk is offering a free resource to all listeners of todays show. This Climate Change Primer looks at the question of "what are the policies we really need to deal with climate change?"  It’s a quick overview of the issues, vocabulary, pros and cons of the spectrum of real solutions.  No one technology will save us—we need a mosaic of varied approaches.

The primer is also a compendium of permaculture techniques— much of what’s listed is what Starhawk teaches in her Earth Activist Trainings.

Who is it useful for?  You, if you want to:

• Better understand the issue.
• Know what the solutions are and how they work together.
• Know what policies to press your local, state and national politicians to implement.
• Know what policies to implement if you are one of the above.
• Know what kind of things to invest your money in if you still have some left.
• Know what kinds of careers to pursue or subjects to study.
• Save the world.
