Adbusters
Ultimately, though, Adbusters is an ecological magazine, dedicated to examining the relationship between human beings and our physical and mental environment. We want a world in which the economy and ecology resonate in balance. We try to coax people from spectator to participant in this quest. We want folks to get mad about corporate disinformation, injustices in the global economy, and any industry that pollutes our physical or mental commons".

Nunasoft
Nunasoft
adapts technologies to cultures, not the other
way around. Nunasoft is responsible for
developing computer keyboards in numerous
aboriginal and endangered languages and creates
webtools for online communication in these
languages.
"As you see,
Nuna
is closely related to Mother Earth and her Sister
Nature, in many cultures, many languages and many
Earthplaces. We have a profound respect
for
Nuna.
It is an honor for us to have
Nuna
as part of our name. We believe technology
[Soft]
has to adapt to all peoples of the Earth
[Nuna],
rather than the other way around. Our involvement
in Aboriginal cultures is key to meeting the
specific needs of our clients".
So, to make it short: we adapt
Soft
to
Nuna!
TerraPass
Ever
wished you could do something about global
warming?
It
might seem there's nothing you can do about
global warming. The problem is just too big.
Of course, we all contribute to global warming.
We all have a "carbon footprint," the total
carbon dioxide emissions we create when we drive
or fly or use electricity.
Balance
your carbon footprint with
TerraPass
The
first step you can take to fight global warming
is to reduce your carbon footprint through
conservation. Drive less. Turn down the
thermostat. Buy locally produced goods. A
recent survey
of TerraPass customers shows that they're already
taking all kinds of steps to reduce their impact.
Then use TerraPass to balance the emissions you
can't reduce.
When you buy a TerraPass, your money funds clean
energy and efficiency projects such as wind
farms. These projects result in verified
reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
A
new kind of environmental
movement
Of
course, global warming is too big a problem for a
handful of people to solve on their own. It's a
global problem that requires action on a global
scale.
But entrepreneurial groups are leading the way.
City and state governments, forward-looking
businesses, and enthusiastic citizens are banding
together to show that a sustainable future is
possible today.
Every TerraPass member has taken a simple
positive step to fight global warming. Every
TerraPass purchase is a vote for innovation,
efficiency, and clean energy. Together, we have
eliminated over 600 million pounds of carbon
dioxide emissions.
Be part of a group that is driving change
today.

media.Democracy Under Threat
The business of media is overwhelming the business of democracy, as a narrowing range of private media conglomerates shape a widening range of public space and discourse. From our schools to our streets, from politics and policy-making to mainstream media coverage of both, a reductive market logic has increased the demand for informed democratic discussion, deliberation and debate.

MEF's Mission
The mission of the Media Education Foundation (MEF) is to answer the challenge posed by the radical and accelerating corporate threat to democracy. Since its founding in 1991 by University of Massachusetts Communication professor and media scholar Sut Jhally, MEF has grown to become the nation's leading producer and distributor of educational videos designed to inspire students and others to reflect critically on the structure of the media industry and the content it produces.
Challenging Media
With approximately 50 videos and a wealth of free educational resources addressing a range of political, economic and socio-cultural issues, MEF provides students, educators, activists and the general public with the tools required to examine how global media conglomerates shape a highly restrictive set of corporate principles that are undermining the way we ed
