Environmental Writing | Ecological Truth

John Feeney, Ph.D., writes on ecological issues underreported in the media, with profound implications for our future. His emphases have included human carrying capacity and the roots of the global ecological crisis. His focus now is on the unsustainable nature of civilization and related pre- and post-civilization topics.

Latest article: Agriculture: Ending the world as we know it This article is perhaps the last word I can offer on our ecological plight. Thanks to my friend Misko for this French translation. See as well the related note at the end of this blog post.

Desert Southwest: On the "Organizations" page I've added a list of several good groups working to protect the US desert Southwest. All are worthy of your support!

Film Appearance: I appear twice, briefly, in the new documentary Mother: Caring for 7 Billion. The film is an excellent look at how we might best address the population issue.
