Religion, Spirituality and Earth Stewardship

Last updated on: March 5, 2013 at 12:05 pm By Lupa Greenwolf

Last month, Slate featured an interview with Dekila Chungyalpa, the founder and director of the World Wildlife Fund’s Sacred Earth program. In it, Chungyalpa explains how religious leaders can use their influence to encourage their communities to be better stewards of the environment. This may seem like an odd bailiwick for religion, but belief can have a strong impact on a community. This gives religious leaders a great deal of responsibility, both toward their congregations, and toward those beings and... Read more

Cultural Quandaries: We Are In Space

Last updated on: December 19, 2016 at 12:52 am By Rua Lupa

A lot of what we talk about is related to an on-earth perspective. Where we are on earth and how we see things from there. So it is easy to forget that we are in space. Read more

Lupa’s Favorite Three-Item Green Shopping List

Last updated on: January 21, 2013 at 6:29 am By Lupa Greenwolf

Sometimes it feels like being eco-friendly is expensive, what with people tooling around in $27,000 Priuses and buying an entire kitchen full of low-energy, high-efficiency appliances in matching colors. As a sustainability geek on a budget, and rent instead of a mortgage, these commonly touted “green choices” can feel a little out of reach. This doesn’t mean that I have no options outside of “use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without”, though I certainly do... Read more

Colloquial Quandaries: Referencing the Sun

Last updated on: December 19, 2016 at 12:51 am By Rua Lupa

Aristarchus had determined that it was the earth that revolved around the sun during his lifetime in 310 BC – ca. 230 BC. But we've still since refer to the sun rising and setting over earth. Why don't we try to rectify that? Read more

Grounding Through Land Stewardship

Last updated on: July 28, 2014 at 11:14 am By Lupa Greenwolf

As those of you who may have been following me on my own blog, Therioshamanism, may have seen, I recently adopted a half mile stretch of the Columbia River to keep clean and otherwise tend to. It’s downstream from Portland and a bunch of industrial areas, never mind all the towns and cities and factories upstream from Portland as well. So there’s plenty to clean up, and no doubt when I start doing water testing this spring I won’t be... Read more

Challenges Face the Columbia River

Last updated on: November 30, 2012 at 3:02 am By Lupa Greenwolf

It’s no surprise that the watersheds of streams and rivers often mark the boundaries and definitions of bioregions. While ponds and lakes are lovely in their own right, moving water moves us in a way no still, quiet pool does. In a way, rivers, streams, creeks and their ilk are the bloodstream of the land, carrying necessary nutrients and other resources to ecosystems all along their lengths. We humans have made great use of their capacity for locomotion; every day... Read more

Thoughts on Tree Planting

Last updated on: November 27, 2012 at 3:24 am By Lupa Greenwolf

I’ve been doing more tree planting while volunteering with SOLV. The last two Saturdays saw me down by Rock Creek southeast of Portland in the rain and mud, planting everything from snowberry bushes to willow trees in open areas along the creek. Our end goal was improving the health of the watershed and reducing erosion. One weekend I was joined by a bunch of teenagers from a local high school. Not surprisingly, they were there because it was required to... Read more
