Isn’t this where we need to start?

The key as you highlighted is the ’same thinking’. All the time we think that the world is made up of discrete parts rather than interconnected wholes, we will continue to live with the ‘fall-out’ from such schemes. Every action we take has a consequence … sometimes good, sometimes bad. Unless we accept that we will never find a ‘final solution’ and that we are in a dynamic process to which we can only respond, rather than control, we will never move from a reactive, rather than proactive stance to life. As George Monbiot states in his book Heat, capping (reduction) of consumption needs to go hand-in-glove with any green initiatives. Of course! Nature always expands into the space made available, so the more products we produce, the more fuel we find, the more access we create consumption will always rise to meet it, unless we say “NO”.

It is better than most televison. What I find difficult in this film though: we cannot use technology to reverse this situation on earth. What we need to do involves how each of us lives here on earth/ heaven. The top way for us to ” save the world” is to sow, tend, and save seed. Repeat so on and so on. To me the answer lies in Permaculture not just as a way to grow plants but as a lifestyle. What I like about the approach is: see her in the States(USA) we suffer from bad culture or no culture. We are all so hungry for culture and permaculture gets use back to working with nature, feed ourselves and being connected to what supports us. It is time for us to find love within and demostrate that love to those we borrow this land from the childern. Do they want food or money? Food I say what do you say, oh ya adequte water air and a place to move. May you be nourished

This is scary. It is sad to see intelligence wasted. Why would you make a fake tree instead of just planting one. There is advanced technology that will help in the efforts to save humanity, but it should be free. Free technology is the most tried and tested, now with the internet advancement of this technology is moving at an ever increasing pace. I don’t think it will be long before the old “system” just becomes obsolete and moves to the wayside. Peace.
