Grief and Love in the Animal Kingdom

From mourning orcas to distressed elephants, biological anthropologist Barbara J. King has witnessed grief and love across the animal kingdom. In this eye-opening talk, she explains the evidence behind her belief that many animals experience complex emotions, and suggests ways all of us can treat them more ethically -- including every time we eat. "Animals don't grieve exactly like we do, but this doesn't mean that their grief isn't real," she says. "It is real, and it's searing, and we can see it if we choose."

Nature as a Stakeholder - A love story

From our Gulf of Maine Blue Marble Hub in Portland Maine, we have a Love Story about Nature. In today's world, the dominant worldview is one where humans have control over nature. What if our love for the abundance that nature provides can be translated as legal status as a living being, not a bundle of ecosystem services that we quantify and sell like a commodity? The Latin word anima (source of the word animal) is actually translated as spirit, breath, life.

Book Review: Blue Marble Premises and Principles

Summary: Michael Quinn Patton’s Blue Marble Evaluation is a forward-looking, path-breaking, and timely contribution to evaluation theory and practice. The title of the book evokes the Blue Marble shot—a photograph of the whole earth taken by the Apollo 17 astronauts in 1972. The preface of the book displays the first image of our lonely planet captured from space in 1968 (Earthrise).

The Interconnection Between the Global and the Personal: A Blue Marble Perspective

One of the principles of Blue Marble Evaluation is connecting the global with the local. This includes connecting the personal with the global, zooming out to understand the big picture of what’s happening in the world and zooming in to our personal actions, ethics, and sense of responsibility. To what extent do individual transformations in our personal carbon footprint matter? In what ways do people think personally about the climate crisis and needed systems transformations?
