There is a solution that
could add dramatically to efforts to protect the Earth’s
climate, but it has seemed impossible for most
members of the Homo sapiens species to become aware of
it. The petition
we delivered to COP26 and the events we did with it have
encouraged us to believe that, in fact, this solution is
knowable to people, and even to goverments. Here it is
in very short summary:
Admit that
militaries are huge contributors to climate collapse,
that they cause all kinds of other damage, and that they
serve no useful purpose.
To understand the full extent of that statement, and
to persuade others of it, requires a good grasp of a
fair amount of information. Without that level of
knowledge, one can fall victim to claims that militaries
are effectively greening themselves, or to assumptions
that militaries can be tools for addressing climate
collapse.
Luckily, 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.
Half the spots have been filled.
This course makes a terrific
gift.
