I have previously mentioned the idea of “degrowth” in my thoughts about our approach to global climate change and resource depletion.  I first ran into this concept in the summer of 2019, when I attended the Alternative Economic and Monetary Systems (AEMS) in Vienna.  At that point in my thinking, my opinion was, “Well, of course we have to shrink our impact on the climate and natural resources.  That means we all have to do with less.”  Easy enough to say for an affluent resident of the global West, who while certainly not rich by US standards, doesn’t miss any meals, either.

First Amendment Rights

You may have seen the signs around campus announcing First Amendment Rights training at UNI. I am a staunch believer in the First Amendment.

I encourage you to complete the training; it doesn’t take long, and you’ll learn some interesting aspects of the First Amendment.
