		<description><![CDATA[My hometown has been making international headlines lately. Colorado Springs has become the posterchild for local governments slashing services in response to declining sales tax revenue.

		<title>Population Taboo &#8211; Kiss it Adieu!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today marks the beginning of Global Population Speak Out.
It’s human nature to blend in with the crowd. Nobody wants to be the “only one” with a given viewpoint. The cultural taboo on discussing overpopulation renders politicians, scientists and other opinion leaders reluctant to mention population when discussing both causes and solutions of modern challenges. Famed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Anyone who believes exponential growth can go on forever in a finite world is either a madman or an economist
   &#8211; Kenneth Boulding

		<title>What Copenhagen Demonstrators Want You to Know</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What was the message of the demonstrators in Copenhagen? Some groups, such as Bill McKibben’s 350.org, were pushing for nations to agree to ambitious goals to get carbon dioxide levels down to 350 ppm.

		<title>Growth Begins at Home</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my film, Hooked on Growth, I&#8217;m charting fairly unoccupied territory in linking the growth-addictive behavior of cities with global unsustainability. Sure, some cities are making efforts to reduce their carbon or overall ecological footprint, but most expectations of sustainable behavior focus either on individual behavior or national policy. Discussions of overpopulation, for example, tend [...]]]></description>
