This was a fascinating issue to put together. Waste is so ever-present in capitalist society that we rarely stop to think about what it actually is, or what it could be instead.

Pleased and downright fascinated to read a review of my short story "Take Him" in Brief Ecology. The story was recently an editor's pick on @gavagai.com & I'll confess it was very difficult to place & rejected many times, which makes the interest and attention of the reviewer especially lovely.

Capitalism is a dictatorship of profit. The subservience of all else to growth is antithetical to democracy. An ecological society should reflect the diversity and complexity that ecosystems naturally produce, and true democracy is what allows that diversity to flourish. www.briefecology.com
