152 Peaceworking in Armenia
The Gandhian activist Jill Carr-Harris spent several months in Armenia after her cross-continent peace march was interrupted there by Covid. She had also visited Nagorno-Karabakh before the march, getting blacklisted by Azerbaijan for doing so without their permission. Soon the area was at war, and she recounts to Metta the history that led to it. She would hope for a revival of the OSCE's "Minsk Group," which was supposed to find a lasting solution to the frozen conflict that resulted from the previous war. -
158 Democracy and War: Marc Stein
Marc Eliot Stein is a web designer and fervent peace activist with World Beyond War, an effective organization that seeks the abolition of war. He and Metta are conversing here only hours after the insurrection at the US Capitol, and they agree that the democratic governance of the world (and of specific nations) requires the rejection of militarism. They discuss the potential for adopting a Green New Deal and recognize that that prospect will depend on greater cooperation about activists working against a comprehensive system that is causing multiple societal problems. -
150 The World in December 2020, Part 2
In Part 2 of Project Save the World's Global Town Hall, we discuss the challenge of improving democracy, especially the fact that big moneyed interests strongly influence the media so that voters are not well enough informed to make good decisions. -
149 The World in December 2020, Part 1

153 Craig Smith on Corporations
Craig Smith is an engineer who has been president of a major construction company, which among other projects renewed the Pentagon. He is co-author of a book about global warming, Reaching Net Zero. He and Metta discuss the trend among corporations to become either carbon neutral or, in the case of Microsoft and some others, carbon negative. At the end, the conversation turns toward various proposals to make corporations more accountable in their governance to society's wellbeing. -

141 Love Our Trees
Eric Davies, Parag Kadam, and Theri Reichlin are young foresters who met as students in Toronto. They tell Metta and Adam Wynne about their current work. Eric is working with corporations, and he sees that they have much to contribute in urban forestry. Parag is interested in the economics of managing common property, including forests. Theri is teaching school children how to plant trees and look after them. They are all worried about the deterioration of biodiversity, especially in cities.
