Jan Lundberg is a former oil industry supply analyst who left the industry to immerse himself in the environmental movement with an emphasis on energy issues. He founded the Fossil Fuels Policy Action Institute in 1988. Projects included the Alliance for a Paving Moratorium, the Auto-Free Times, Pedal Power Produce, and CultureChange.org. The organization formed in 1999 its most enduring project, Sail Transport Network (STN), promoting the use of sail for cargo and passenger transport. STN is now a Partner of SAIL MED. Jan sailed from California to Greece decades ago, and after touring Europe in 2012 realized that the continent is currently at the center of driving forward the new sail transport movement. He lives in Greece, where he is building projects and aligning interests for SAIL MED. This program was brought to you by Heritage Foods USA.
Mary Mattingly is an artist based in Brooklyn, New York. We learned about her through the Flockhouse Project and traced back to discover the Waterpod and her earlier work. Mary's art explores the environment, sustainability, housing, and community structure, among other things. We have spoken to a fair number of environmental thinkers in The Conversation, but Mary is the first whose work directly explores individual survival in an unstable world. There are lots of reasons you'll like this episode. Aside from the Mad Max/Waterworld quality of our conversation, Mary looks at environmental change in a way that is totally unlike anyone else in the project. Thinkers like Tim Cannon, David Miller, and Robert Zubrin have viewed anthropogenic environmental change as morally relative and potentially positive while others, like John Zerzan, Jan Lundberg, and Wes Jackson, describe it as a crisis to be averted. Mary is somewhere in between, admitting that a future in which humans exert great control over the environment could be dark, yet embraceable. Does this put her in a camp with Tim Morton? Also, the maker economy shows up in Mary's conversation and connects her to Alexa Clay and Douglas Rushkoff though, in Mary's vision of the future, the maker spirit is more of a life-and-death necessity than an economic statement. Her interest in resilience may remind you of the end of Chuck Collins' conversation, too. There's a lot more to talk about. Specifically, we're interested in the coexistence of individualism and communitarianism. Are they in tension or in balance? Micah and I discuss.

Alexa Clay is an author, economic historian, and director of thought leadership at Ashoka Changemakers. She is co-author of The Misfit Economy, a forthcoming book that looks for economic innovation in the black and gray markets of pirates, hackers, and urban gangs, among others. We begin by talking about economics in the 17th and 18th centuries and its close bonds with philosophy and psychology. From there we trace the increasing abstraction of economics into a formalized, quasi-scientific discipline that has become indecipherable to most people affected by it. This leads to a discussion of agency and other types of economies that have sprung up on the fringes of our global economy. Can these "misfit economies" offer a substantive critique of our current economic system? Do they offer better systems or address the problems of endless growth highlighted by Wes Jackson, Jan Lundberg, and David Korten? Alexa and I talk about these questions in the body of the episode while Micah and I will return to them in our conclusion. Alexa's conversation has a wealth of interesting connections. Editing has left a few on the cutting room floor, but many remain: Douglas Rushkoff and quantification, Colin Camerer and neuroeconomics, Lawrence Torcello and the philosophy of John Rawls. There are far more implicit connections, of which Micah and I talk about Gabriel Stempinski and the sharing economy and Laura Musikanski's Happiness Initiative.

Priscilla Grim is one of Occupy Wall Street's organizers, co-founder of the website We Are the 99 Percent, and co-editor of The Occupied Wall Street Journal. We talk about her politicization, the current economic system, and the tension between class and environmental concerns. There are predictably strong contrasts with the libertarian philosophies of David Miller and Max More but, in one of the more unexpected connections in the project, Grim takes an attitude towards natural resources that is close to Robert Zubrin and far from Jan Lundberg and Wes Jackson.

Dr. Robert Zubrin is the president of The Mars Society, a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the exploration and colonization of Mars. We begin by discussing why space exploration and colonization is good but, as with my conversation with Chris McKay, Robert and I use space as an entry to discussing issues back on Earth. A major theme of this conversation is environmentalism, which Robert classifies as a form of anti-humanism, offering a strong anthrpocentric response to the biocentrism of Jan Lundberg and David Korten. This flows into a conversation about how we define progress and where we find value, in which John Zerzan's ideas make their inevitable cameo. Finally, we conclude with a discussion of Robert's mixed feelings about the transhumanist ideas discussed by Max More.

Cameron Whitten is, in his own words, a "shameless agitator" from Portland, Oregon. He became politically active during the Occupy Portland movement and, at twenty, made a bid to become the mayor of the Rose City with endorsements from the Green Party and Oregon Progressive Party. As of this posting, Whitten is on day 44 of a hunger strike designed to spark the Portland City Council to address issues of housing inequality. We spoke about Occupy, equality, and the idea of The Conversation. For Whitten, The Conversation is a first step to addressing issues of class inequality, which he considers the greatest crisis our era. This marks the first extended discussion of class in The Conversation, but it is worth juxtaposing Whitten's view next to the belief in incremental improvement that pervaded my talks with Max More, Colin Camerer, Chris McKay, and Ariel Waldman. Interestingly, Whitten also brushes aside the issue of population growth that has surfaced in conversations from Jan Lundberg to John Zerzan. There are abundant resources, Whitten claims, rather the question is of distribution.

Gabriel Stempinski is an evangelist of the new sharing economy, author, documentary producer, and San Francisco city ambassador for CouchSurfing. We spoke about how new, sharing-themed tech startups are reshaping the economic and social landscape. Environmental and population issues are at the heart of our conversation and community makes more than a cameo appearance. Gabriel responds directly to Andrew Keen's critique of social media, but there are also some indirect connections to Jan Lundberg's sense of an energy crisis and Alexander Rose's discussion of long-term thought.

Jan Lundberg interviews (1) Jennifer Banka Schneider and (2) Kerry Liz McKee, peppersprayed as passive resisters in sit-ins to protect ancient redwoods, and (3) Bill Simpich who is a lawyer for the plaintiffs in the civil rights lawsuit against law enforcement agencies and the County of Humboldt, California. The police swabbed pepperspray in the eyes of nonviolent forest defenders who were locked together with heavy steel sleeves that immobilized the protesters. Despite this summary punishment that the ACLU has called "tantamount to torture," the protesters did not back down and are having their third trial in federal court in San Francisco which began April 12, 2005. Jan Lundberg's daughter Spring is one of the plaintiffs in this case, and his band The Depavers (www.culturechange.org/depavers.html) provides a short song, Mother Earth First, at the end of the half-hour program.
David Seaborg, evolutionary biologist, speaks with Jan Lundberg for Steppin' Out of Babylon. David Seaborg is founder and president of the World Rainforest Fund based in Walnut Creek, California. As global warming and climate change dry out the rainforest and cause unprecedented fires, and development such as timber and oil extraction ravage the rainforest and the indigenous cultures, the need escalates dramatically to save species, the climate and the local tribes. David Seaborg links the plight of the rainforests to the consumption habits of U.S. consumers and whether nature preserves can rescue critical habitat.

Jan Lundberg is an environmental activist of many years. His former firm was well known for publishing the "bible of the oil industry." There he noticed the unsustainable consumption of highly polluting "unending" oil extraction, and eventually left the family business he was running. He later founded the Alliance for a Paving Moratorium and the Auto-Free Times magazine. Jan now publishes and lives in the San Francisco Bay area. As the only oil industry analyst who came to fight oil expansion, he speaks in this interview about the impending energy crisis due to the imminent "peak" in global oil supply. Rather than the technofix, which his research found is really not possible, he advocates social and cultural change towards community and sustainability.
Sue Supriano, Host/Producer of Steppin' Out of Babylon, interviewed by Jan Lundberg of Culture Change (www.culturechange.org).The story is that when Sue Supriano was about to interview Jan Lundberg about their common concern of "peak oil" and positive responses to it, Supriano was too tired so Jan Lundberg turned the microphone and interviewed her. You can learn a bit about her and her activist background, how the name Steppin' Out of Babylon came about and what it means. Supriano also responds to Lundberg's questions about her impressions of activism then and now. This could be the beginning of a new working relationship for Steppin' Out of Babylon.
