"Cuando el proyecto Creative Commons publicó sus primeras licencias en diciembre de 2002, trajo al fin una sensación de unidad al movimiento de la cultura libre. En vez de tener que elegir entre muchas licencias dispersas, los creadores tienen ahora la opción de escoger la licencia adecuada para su trabajo usando una herramienta sencilla. Sólo tienen que contestar algunas preguntas básicas como: «¿Permitir el uso comercial?», «¿Permitir modificaciones?». A continuación, la herramienta recomienda una de las licencias desarrolladas por el equipo de Creative Commons. Son documentos legalmente válidos, simples, adaptados especialmente a varias jurisdicciones. En resumen, el proyecto Creative Commons ha hecho la vida mucho más fácil para cualquiera que desee compartir contenidos. "

"Este libro, en parte análisis, en parte manual y en parte una colección de estudios de caso, es una guía para ayudar al lector a compartir su conocimiento y creatividad con el mundo, sin por ello dejar de cuidar los aspectos operativos. Partiendo de un modelo propietario, del famoso "Todos los derechos reservados", hacia uno que permite a terceros copiar, reutilizar y modificar su trabajo es un gran cambio. Hecho con Creative Commons describe el cambio de mentalidad, los beneficios, y las prácticas a adoptar al "abrirse". Sostiene que compartir es bueno para el negocio, particularmente para las compañías, organizaciones y personas creadoras a quienes les importan más factores que únicamente el económico. Hecho con Creative Commons es un libro lleno de consejos prácticos e historias inspiradoras, que presenta el verdadero significado de compartir."

"This comic is a timeline on how the temperature has changed from 20,000 BCE (Before Common Era) to the present day (2016), with three predictions for the rest of the 21st century depending on what actions are taken (or not taken) to stop CO₂ emission. This comic is a direct, but much more thorough, follow up on the previous global warming comic: 1379: 4.5 Degrees. By having readers scroll through millennia of slow-paced natural changes, Randall uses the comic to confront the the rapid temperature rise in the recent years. Over the past 100 years, human action has produced a large amount of CO₂ emissions, which have caused a rise in average global temperature through the greenhouse effect. This is called global warming and is part of a climate change, a subject that has become a recurrent subject on xkcd. There are still many people who claim that this is not happening, or at least that it is not caused by any human actions, called climate change deniers. One argument of theirs is that global warming is happening for natural causes, summarized with the phrase "temperature has changed before". "

"The Kaua Moho was the last species of it's entire genus and it was the last genus in it's family. This male was not just the last of his kind, he was the last being on his entire branch of the evolutionary tree, there was nothing left on the planet that was even close to being like him. That kind of loneliness is unimaginable. No other avian family has had every single species within it go completely extinct in modern times. Different species of Moho lived on each island of Hawaii and their evolutionary cousins the kioea birds lived alongside them, but starting in 1800 (about the time Europeans started arriving to the islands in significant numbers and also about the time the native human population of Hawaii also got decimated by diseases) one by one they died out due to the introduction of foreign avian diseases and parasites, habitat loss, and hunting for their plumage. 2 hurricanes within 10 years of each other finished them off. They are all gone and that song or any song like it will never be heard again save for in recordings. The hurricanes dealt the final blow, but 95% of it was humanity's fault. This has become common in Hawaii due to having so many species that only exist there. A LOT of those species are gone now because the arrival of Europeans brought disease, invasive species, and people straight up killed them or destroyed their habitats. It is a similar situation on every isolated island or area in the world as humans have expanded and explored every nook and cranny on the planet, no matter how hard it is to get to or how little business we have there we feel the need to interfere in even the most delicate and tiny ecosystem. Even the large, continent sized ecosystems are suffering. It doesn't matter if there are millions or even billions of an animal or plant, we will find some way to kill them all. It is only in the last few decades that serious steps have finally been taken to preserve the few areas on this world that we have not destroyed, but

"Semillas en Resistencia es una animación desarrollada como parte del Documental "Semillas, bien común o propiedad corporativa" realizado en el año 2017 por un colectivo de organizaciones latinoamericanas que trabajan a lo largo de todo el continente en defensa de las semillas nativas y criollas como base de la Soberanía Alimentaria de los Pueblos. Compartimos ahora esta animación para brindar una herramienta más para la comprensión y formación en esta problemática, sugiriendo que continúen el camino viendo y compartiendo el documental completo desde vimeo.com/240217030."

"La economía es una construcción material y cultural que dibuja nuestras sociedades, nuestras democracias[1]. En el desarrollo contemporáneo de nuestros medios de vida, los cultivos sociales (espacios para la autogestión de necesidades básicas) están de capa caída. Cierto es que subsisten y llenan nuestros espacios temporales de redes de apoyo cotidiano, formas de intercambio donde no media el dinero o estrategias cooperativistas para acceder a un transporte o a un servicio de wifi. Pero la economía especulativa se impone y nos impone un vuelvo climático de la mano de un "progreso" que camina "triunfante" bajo un capitalismo globalizado."
