À la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, les géants de la pétrochimie annoncent l'avènement de la « chimie de l'espoir » : le plastique. Il offrirait une vie meilleure. Aujourd'hui, l'image d'un matériau magique, neutre et inaltérable ainsi que le mythe du recyclage persistent obstinément.

À la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, les géants de la pétrochimie annoncent l'avènement de la « chimie de l'espoir » : le plastique. Il offrirait une vie meilleure. Aujourd'hui, l'image d'un matériau magique, neutre et inaltérable ainsi que le mythe du recyclage persistent obstinément. Ainsi, le plastique s'invite-t-il toujours plus dans nos quotidiens, à l'échelle industrielle et jusqu'au creux de notre intimité. Or il se compose d'additifs dont un quart sont toxiques, ne cesse de se fragmenter en micro-et nanoparticules - s'infiltrant dans l'air, l'eau, le sol et nos corps - et accélère le dérèglement climatique - puisqu'il repose sur l'extraction et la transformation d'énergies fossiles. Alors que sa production annuelle pourrait atteindre un milliard de tonnes d'ici 2050, cette bombe à retardement ébranle déjà les écosystèmes, le climat et notre santé. Pour ralentir cette croissance effrénée, des voies d'action individuelles et collectives existent. Elles sont mises en lumière ici par Capucine Dupuy.

In a world where artificial intelligence has and increasingly important place in our daily lives, and more and more of our time is spent on screens, what does "Living as Nature" mean anymore?

Summary:
In a world where artificial intelligence has and increasingly important place in our daily lives, and more and more of our time is spent on screens, what does "Living as Nature" mean anymore? We wanted to answer this question in a two eyed seeing approach, a term coined by Mi’kmaw elder Albert Marshall referring to seeing from one eye with strengths of Indigenous ways of knowing, and from the other eye with the strengths of Western ways of knowing, and to use both of these eyes together to move forward. This can be seen through the pairing of Wendat values and the principles of the Montréal Declaration for a Responsible Development of Artificial Intelligence. We offer a mirrored reflection on this topic, from the perspectives of a researcher in AI for biodiversity conservation (Mélisande) and an Indigenous landscape architect (Carling): How can AI researchers working on applications in biodiversity reconcile Western science with Indigenous knowledge and ways of knowing of "Living as Nature?"

Summary:
From trips to the market to lighting entire cities, power is pivotal to the simplest of everyday necessities. Wars are fought over it, the planet is polluted by it, but now its price has become too high. Are we capable of shifting to cleaner, safer, more reliable sources of energy? Fueling the Future gathers the best and brightest minds in the field — thinkers like Jeremy Rifkin, L. Hunter Lovins, and Allison MacFarlane — and uses their collective wisdom to tackle this pressing question from several angles. The experts predict what a world without oil, which is estimated to run out in 50 years, would be like. What new energy alternatives are available? The use of hydrogen and fuel cells is examined, with surprising conclusions. Fresh, efficient prose makes the experts' controversial answers readable and engaging, as well as thought provoking.

Contributors also examine whether distinctive approaches to environmental history are required when studying the Canadian North, and consider a range of broader questions. What, if anything, sets the study of environmental history in particular regions apart from its study elsewhere? Do environmental historians require regionally-specific research practices? How can the study of environmental history take into consideration the relations between Indigenous peoples, the environment, and the state? How can the history of regions be placed most effectively within transnational and circumpolar contexts? How relevant are historical approaches to contemporary environmental issues?

Summary:
Each time history repeats itself, so it's said, the price goes up. The twentieth century was a time of runaway growth in human population, consumption, and technology, placing a colossal load on all natural systems, especially earth, air, and water -- the very elements of life. The most urgent questions of the twenty-first century are: where will this growth lead? can it be consolidated or sustained? and what kind of world is our present bequeathing to our future? In "A short history of progress" Ronald Wright argues that our modern predicament is as old as civilization, a 10,000-year experiment we have participated in but seldom controlled. Only by understanding the patterns of triumph and disaster that humanity has repeated around the world since the Stone Age can we recognize the experiment's inherent dangers, and, with luck and wisdom, shape its outcome.
