A Washington Post article
last week illustrates the basic problems with what can
and cannot be said about militarism and the natural
environment in corporate media. An intelligent
and inquisitive person could hardly be blamed for
reading this stuff and imagining that militaries can be
made green, that climate change creates a need for more
wars, and that living without militarism is simply
unthinkable.
Yet a basic understanding of the facts shows each of
these ideas to be as sensible as the 1984
decrees that "freedom is slavery" and "ignorance is
strength." We'd like more people to know and be able to
communicate the basic facts about war the the
environment. So, we've created a
6-week online course that anyone can do at their own
pace, with the registration fee on a sliding
scale.
World BEYOND War has gathered the information, weeded
out the false or the dubious, organized the key points,
and condensed them into a coherent online
course for busy, active
people. We've also recruited super-talented facilitators
to assist our staff in presenting the
course and working with participants.
War
and the Environment will happen between
January 17 and February 27, with the material divided
into six weekly topics. This course is 100%
online and interactions are not live or scheduled, so
you can take part whenever works for you.
Weekly content includes a mix of text, images,
video, and audio. Instructors and students utilize
online discussion forums to go over each week's content,
as well as to provide feedback on optional assignment
submissions.
The course also includes three
1-hour optional zoom calls which are designed to
facilitate a more interactive and real-time learning
experience.
Two-thirds of the spots have been filled.
