Derrick Jensen's new book is called, Marijuana: A Love Story. It details his wild romance with this oft misunderstood plant teacher and medicine, and how the dream the Marijuana once offered people (a version of "the American Dream") became ruined by the corporatized capitalistic system. From the book description: "In state after state, the wealth-building capacity of this extraordinary plant is now concentrating into the control of the already rich. From seed to smoke, legalization is eroding the lives and livelihoods of the people it was supposed to help: the patients, growers, trimmers, "mules," and activists who created the colorful and committed culture that is now under threat.We can end the war on weed without turning it into a war on small family growers-but it will depend on how much pressure we are willing to apply to force law makers to serve local communities rather than corporate interests. Marijuana: A Love Story is a report from the front, a reminder of how and why we fell in love with this plant, a cautionary tale of corporate power, and a call to once more "Free the Sacred Herb."'Derrick Jensen is the author of more than twenty-five books, including Bright Green Lies, A Language Older Than Words, The Culture of Make Believe, and Endgame. He is also a teacher, activist, and small farmer, and was named the poet-philosopher of the ecological movement by Democracy Now! In 2008, he was chosen as one of Utne Reader's 50 Visionaries Who Are Changing Your World and won the Eric Hoffer Award. He is a cofounder of the organization Deep Green Resistance. Jensen has written for the New York Times Magazine, Audubon Magazine, and The Sun, and was a columnist at Orion Magazine. He holds an MFA in creative writing from Eastern Washington University and a BS degree in mineral engineering physics from the Colorado School of Mines, and has taught creative writing at Eastern Washington University and Pelican Bay State Prison. He lives in Northern California on a property frequented by bears.

WHAT IS IT LIKE TO BE A RIVER? HART HAGAN: My guest is Derrick Jensen, Writer and Environmental Activist, author of over two dozen books, including - Endgame: The Problem of Civilization - As The World Burns: 50 Things You Can Do To Stay in Denial - A Language Older Than Words - The Culture of Make-Believe and - Bright Green Lies, which Derrick co-authored with Lierre Keith and Max Wilbert. HART HAGAN: I asked Derrick to read a passage from his book “Endgame.” DERRICK JENSEN: The way this passage came to be written--I think it's the most beautiful thing that I've ever written--and I didn't actually write it. It was written by a nearby stream. And the way it came to be was that I had been for a few weeks trying to write “What is it Like to be a River?” And I wasn't getting anywhere. And so I thought, well, I'm going to go down and ask the stream, “What is it like to be you?” So I went down to the stream and I said, what is it like to be you? And the stream had been waiting so long for someone to ask that question, for some human at least ask that question, because it gave me the answer, just like that, and the entire piece came to me, I ran back inside as fast as I could, and wrote it down. I almost didn't have to edit it at all. So, here it is. Pretend you are a river. Pretend you are the mist who falls so fine—so gentle—that nothing separates water and air. You are the rain who falls in sheets, explodes onto the ground to leave pocks and puddles. You are the ground who receives this water, soaking it up, taking it in, carrying it deep inside. You are the cracks and fissures where the waters accumulate, flow, fall to join more water, and more, in pools and rivers who move slowly through cavities, crevices, pores. You are the sounds and silence of water seeping or staying still. You are the meeting of wet and dry, the union of liquid and solid, where solids dissolve and liquids solidify. You are the pressure who pushes water through seams. You are the rushing water who bubbles from the earth. You are a tiny pool between rocks. You overflow, find your way to join others who like you are moving, moving. You are the air at the surface of the water, the joining of substantial and insubstantial, the union of under and over, weight and not-weight. You are the riffle, the rapid, the tiny waterfall who turns water to air and air to water. You are the mist who settles on the soil. You are the plants who drink the mist, and you are the sun who warms and feeds them. You are the fish who feed on insects who feed on plants who feed on soils who feed on fish. You are the fish who become soils who become plants who become insects who become fish who flow down the river. You are the river who joins other rivers to become a new river who is all of the rivers and something else. You are the river. You do not stop at the banks, where liquid turns to solid. You reach into the sky and into the soil. Water moves through rocks, comes up to form pools far from the fast flow where the rivers move together, seeps down to join still waters deep below the surface, waters who sleep and wake and sleep and mingle with the stones who are the river, too. You are the river, who is married to the mountains you have known since they were young, who have given themselves to you as you have given yourself to them. You are the canyons you nestle into, each year deeper than the year before. You are the forests who give you their fallen trees, and the meadows you flood and feed and who feed you back their fruits and fine insects who fly to your surface to be taken in by the fish who with their own bodies again feed the meadows.

BRIGHT GREEN LIES, WITH MAX WILBERT | HOW THE ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENT LOST ITS WAY AND WHAT WE CAN DO ABOUT IT HART HAGAN: My guest is Max Wilbert who, along with co-authors Lierre Keith and Derrick Jensen, wrote the book “Bright Green Lies, How the Environmental Movement Lost Its Way and What We Can Do About It.” Max, how are you today? MAX WILBERT: I'm doing good, Hart. Nice to be with you. HART HAGAN: It's great to be with you. I'm a big fan of your effort to Protect Thacker Pass (Nevada), as well as your book and your movie. Max, what motivated you to write the book “Bright Green Lies, How the Environmental Movement Lost Its Way and What We Can Do About It.” MAX WILBERT: Well, in a way, it was a very personal motivation. I started to become an environmentalist at a pretty young age, and I was taught from the very beginning that solar panels, wind turbines, electric vehicles were going to save us. I'm lucky that I grew up in an environment where I was surrounded by older activists--grassroots environmentalists--who hung on to the older values of the environmental movement, things like moderation, reducing consumption, critiquing consumption and critiquing capitalism and the role of advertising in shaping our so-called needs. So I never fully bought into the idea that these technologies were going to save us. At best--or at worst I should say--I only thought of them as stopgap measures to reduce harms as we transition to a sustainable way of life. But what I saw begin to happen very rapidly throughout the last 20 years, is a transition where the environmental movement--which had been once focused on protecting habitat and defending wild places and wild creatures--has shifted almost entirely to focus on global warming and specifically on addressing global warming through technology. I see this as a huge problem, not because I support fossil fuels--or I believe global warming isn't a problem. It's the exact opposite. It's because I believe these are inadequate solutions to global warming and because I think they're ultimately destructive to the planet as a whole. They're counterproductive to the environmental movement's goals. But of course, they've become very popular--these technological so-called solutions. And I think it's mainly because they're profitable industrial products that you can sell. There's a lot of money involved. That money has gotten governments on board. It's gotten corporations on board. It's led to a lot of foundation funding and big philanthropy money for nonprofits that promote this type of thing. That has led to the entire environmental movement--the entire climate movement--being focused almost with blinders on this one single approach. HART HAGAN: I bet the environmental movement has welcomed you with open arms and given you nothing but positive feedback. How has that gone? MAX WILBERT: It's a mixed bag because I would say that at the grassroots level, there are a lot of environmentalists who understand these issues, and who have never lost sight of the fundamental values of this movement, a love and reverence for the planet and for other beings and creatures around us. There is a real criticism and mistrust--justified mistrust--of technological solutions and especially solutions that are led by corporations and major international institutions. Those people I think understand somewhat intuitively that the technological solutions to global warming are a farce to some extent.

I guess I was believing some "bright green fairytales" myself - because the truths in Bright Green Lies burst a few bubbles in my mind. In a tiny nutshell: Solar, wind, hydro, and recycling do worse than not solve our problems. They continue the harms of industrial society, and divert the attention of people who want to address our ecological crisis away from what matters most.This book intensified some of my biggest personal questions, especially about relinquishment, and my ongoing participation in destructive ways of life.So I was prepared to feel the weight of all this when I spoke with Max Wilbert, one of the co-authors of Bright Green Lies.Instead, I felt lighter. I felt heartened. I felt grateful. Once again, I am reminded, there's nothing like connecting with someone who's bringing their whole mind, heart, and activist body to The Great Turning. Max is a community organizer, writer, photographer, and wilderness guide, living in rural Oregon with his family. He has been part of grassroots political work for 20 years.He dove right in with me to: what he loves about being alivewhat's breaking his hearthis take on the "Business as Usual" story, emphasizing the short-term advantages gained by those who are willing to desecrate the living Earth and oppress other peoplehis background in labor activism, and how we've come further now than simply wanting more just distribution of industrial measures of economic wealththe cautionary tale of the insatiable spirit of Wetiko, or Windigo (as described in the books Columbus and Other Cannibals, and Braiding Sweetgrass, among others), and the possibility of co-creating different culture by telling different storieshow it's not that easy or obvious to relinquish the ecocidal aspects of the lifestyles we currently enjoy - and how social change has always been messythe campaign to protect the Nevada area known in English as Thacker Pass, and in Paiute as Peehee Mu'huh, from becoming an open pit lithium minelooking around wherever you are to find something worth fighting forand a future we can't imagine yet, knowing we can be creative about how we transform.I have so much appreciation for the work Max is doing in the world, and deep gratitude for this wide-ranging conversation.

Today we are talking with Canadian filmmaker Julia Barnes about her movie, “Bright Green Lies: How the Environmental Movement Lost Its Way and What We Can Do About It.”

Max Wilbert is an activist, wilderness guide and writer, co-authoring Bright Green Lies: How The Environmental Movement Lost Its Way and What We Can Do About It. Max reveals how mainstream environmentalism is merely a proponent for green growth and business as usual. He says this comfortable form of environmentalism, which sees people trade in their cars for electric vehicles and go meatless only on Mondays, is a damaging distraction to the real work which has to be done: Systemic change.We also discuss his years protesting resource extraction, the role of technology, and the trauma of the West’s colonialism.Planet: Critical investigates why the world is in crisis—and what to do about it.© Rachel Donald Get full access to Planet: Critical at www.planetcritical.com/subscribe

Julia Barnes is an award winning documentary filmmaker. She is the director of Sea of Life and Bright Green Lies. Her current work focuses on opposing deep sea mining. 

Derrick Jensen brings his unique style of dangerous wisdom to a dialogue about the bright green lies of the mainstream environmental movement. We can think of that movement as an attempt to establish solar-powered samsara, solar-powered suffering, or even solar-powered insanity. We need to get beyond this style of consciousness, but to do that we first have to confront our situation with clarity. Derrick Jensen is the author of more than 25 books, including most recently Bright Green Lies, which he co-wrote with Lierre Keith, and Max Wilbert.

Julia Barnes is an award winning documentary filmmaker. She is the director of Sea of Life and Bright Green Lies. Her current work focuses on opposing deep sea mining. 

On this episode of “Death in The Garden,” we talk with filmmaker Julia Barnes and writer/filmmaker Joshua Clinton about their campaign against proposed deep sea mining (DSM) of poly metallic nodules which contain rare earth minerals that can be used in electric vehicles and other “renewable” technologies. You can find more information at their website, Deep Sea Defenders. This podcast is meant to function as an amendment to podcast #12, where we interviewed Dr. Gregory Stone, who is a proponent of DSM. We discuss the destruction of the oceans that will arise from this industrial practice, and the backwardness of destroying the oceans to protect it. Check out this short film Julia made which describes the process as well as Joshua's Counterpunch article.  In addition to speaking about deep sea mining, we discuss Joshua's upcoming first film project where he is exposing and protesting the proposed wind farm in Aberdeenshire which will threaten one of the last remaining habitats of the Scottish wildcat, an ancient cat and the last of the wild felids in Britain. In opposition to Vattenfall, the Swedish energy company, Joshua will be interviewing leaders from the organization “Wildcat Haven.”  Here's a quote from his Instagram post with more information: “The film will cover the plight of the Scottish Wildcat, the effect of habitat destruction & biodiversity loss on ecosystems, and the collusion between Vattenfall and various Scottish governmental bodies to greenwash the project & ensure that it goes ahead.” We also discuss filmmaking and the processes of making a film about a topic that is deeply unpopular: rejecting the so-called solutions to climate change, as Julia did in her film Bright Green Lies based on the book by Derrick Jensen, Lierre Keith, and Max Wilbert. We talk about greenwashing, discussions about carbon fundamentalism, how environmentalism has been perverted, technological escalation, what it's like to be a young environmentalist, and so much more.

Guest host Max Sloves speaks with Max Wilbert about his book "Bright Green Lies" and the destructive Thacker Pass lithium mine. He emphasized rethinking our relationship with the planet and called for political action and personal behavior changes.

Max Wilbert is a writer, organizer, and wilderness guide. A third-generation dissident, he came of age in a family of anti-war and undoing racism activists in post-WTO Seattle. He is the editor-in-chief of the Deep Green Resistance News Service. His latest book is the Bright Green Lies. His first book, an essay collection called We Choose to Speak, was released in 2018. He lives in Oregon. Today we talk about actions against a proposed lithium mine in Nevada.

Derrick “Kid Kaboom” Jenson, author of 10,000 books translated into 2,000 languages, shares both untrue and true stories about the environmental movement, and why “Sustainable Development” is an oxymoron. After a short break for Derrick to get wild bears to stop banging on his windows, the Dorx discuss the heartbreak of witnessing the destruction of wild habitats and the suffering of nonhuman species. Later, they try to define religion, and debate whether “a language is a dialect with an army, a religion is a cult with a state.” The conversation is so much fun that Corinna, Nina, and Derrick form a little cult of their own!

: Episode 1866 - On this Friday show, Lierre Kieth and Derrick Jensen join Vinnie Tortorich to discuss their book, Bright Green Lies: How the Environmental Movement Lost Its Way and What We Can Do About It, beekeeping, glow kids, the environmental dangers of veganism, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/06/bright-green-lies-lierre-keith-derrick-jensen-episode-1866 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Lierre and Derrick wrote this book together. It focuses on how the environmental movement lost its way. Every drug we take ends up affecting fish and our wildlife because these drugs end up in our waterways. Depression medications are everywhere in nature nowadays. Global warming begins with the beginning of agriculture. We were burning for fossil soil every time we plowed land. Rice culture was a big boom for global warming. Dams are one of the most destructive things environmentally that humans create. This is one of the reasons veganism is not a solution. It is also bad for our health. LIERRE AND DERRICK Derrick was trained to be an engineer but he didn't want to go into the oil industry. He became a writer and a beekeeper, and now he writes and is an activist. Lierre is an environmentalist, writer, activist, and former vegan. She's been on the show before, check it out here:  GLOW KIDS Kids spend too much time on their phones.

FiLiA volunteer Salonika, interviews Lierre Keith and Julia Barnes about their book and documentary film, ‘Bright Green Lies'. Lierre and Julia explain how the environmental movement has now been highjacked by the ideas that harm the environment, and what we can do to reclaim the movement. The discussion also highlights the relationship between the oppression of women and the destruction of the natural world and the parallel between the mainstream environmental movement and the mainstream feminist movement.

Anlässlich der Premiere von Julia Barnes' neuem Films „Bright Green Lies“ habe ich exklusiv im deutschen Sprachraum ein Interview mit der 24jährigen preisgekrönten Dokumentarfilmerin geführt. Julias neue Doku basiert auf dem gleichnamigen Buch von Derrick Jensen, Lierre Keith und Max Wilbert und untersucht den Wandel der Mainstream-Umweltbewegung, von ihrem ursprünglichen Anliegen, die Natur zu schützen, zu ihrer aktuellen Besessenheit, eine nicht nachhaltige Lebensweise zu fördern. Der Film entlarvt die Lügen hinter der Vorstellung, dass „grüne“ Technologien uns vor dem Klimawandel retten. Um die drängendsten Probleme unserer Zeit anzugehen, müssen wir über die technologischen Mainstream-Lösungen hinausblicken und tieferliegende Fragen darüber stellen, was sich ändern muss.

Derrick Jensen, Lierre Keith & Max Wilbert discuss Bright Green Lies: How the Environmental Movement Lost Its Way and What We Can Do About It. "Bright Green Lies exposes the hypocrisy of leading environmental groups. It asks the questions most refuse to ask, and in that questioning, uncovers profound truths.” ―Chris Hedges "This disturbing but very important book makes clear we must dig deeper than the normal solutions we are offered." ―Yvon Chouinard “Derrick Jensen is a rare and original voice of sanity in a chaotic world. ”⁠ ―Howard Zinn Derrick Jensen is an American author, ecophilosopher and radical environmentalist living in Crescent City, California. Democracy Now! has described him as the "poet-philosopher of the ecological movement." He is the author of more than 25 acclaimed books, including A Language Older Than Words, The Culture of Make Believe, and Endgame. Lierre Keith is a writer, small farmer, and radical feminist activist. She is the author of six books, including The Vegetarian Myth: Food, Justice, and Sustainability, which has been called “the most important ecological book of this generation.” She is also coauthor of Deep Green Resistance: Strategy to Save the Planet. Max Wilbert is an author, organizer, and wilderness guide. A third-generation dissident, Max has been part of grassroots political work for nearly 20 years. Max serves on the Board of Directors of Deep Green Resistance and Fertile Ground Institute for Social and Ecological Justice.

This week, Director Julia Barnes joins Host Tiokasin Ghosthorse. Julia is an award-winning documentary filmmaker. She is the director of “Sea of Life” and “Bright Green Lies.” “Bright Green Lies” — which is also the title of the new book by Derrick Jensen, Lierre Keith and Max Wilbert — investigates the change in focus of the mainstream environmental movement, from its original concern with protecting nature, to its current obsession with powering an unsustainable way of life. The film exposes the lies and fantastical thinking behind the notion that solar, wind, hydro, biomass, or green consumerism will save us from climate change. Tackling the most pressing issues of our time will require us to look beyond the mainstream technological solutions and ask deeper questions about what needs to change. The film will premiere online on Earth Day, April 22.
