As part of ongoing research into nuclear power and community life, this week’s Friday Video is an exploration of nuclear power and its contested role in the larger global energy debate.  Produced by PBS’s Need to Know program the video discusses both the potential benefits and risks and highlights the story of Ursula Sladeck, an German anti-nuclear activist who played a role in Germany’s decision to do away with nuclear power.  More on Sladeck in the near future.

What is the Boiled Down Juice?

This blog is a gathering space for questions and conversations at the intersection of sustaining community traditions and positive change and grassroots community action. Thrown into the mix you'll find posts about music, food, and all the other ways humans express the art of daily life.

"Folklore," Zora Neale Hurston once said, "is the boiled down juice of human living." We strive to explore that concept (both the positive and negative aspects) and the roles it can play in sustaining and building community.
