Why greens can build the new capitalism
This blog was originally posted on the New Statesman website on 9 Feb 2012. Politicians have queued up to announce the dawn of the era of 'new capitalism'. Yet many commentators seemed less convinced; instead seeing merely the triumph of the old capitalism over any viable alternative.

What do you think we should be doing to save the Arctic?
As I write, major oil companies like Shell, ExxonMobil and Chevron are planning their moves into the Arctic to exploit its vast mineral resources. The five Arctic states are beginning the process of carving up the high north. Meanwhile, the ice keeps melting – we’ve now lost 75 per cent of Arctic sea ice in just 30 years. The global battle to protect the Arctic - from oil exploration, from industrialisation and from climate change – needs to be ambitious, bold and successful. So we’re asking you: what do you think we should we be doing to save the Arctic?

some gray whales which became trapped in Arctic ice.
