We don’t blame you for driving a car.  We don’t blame you for buying products wrapped in plastic. We don’t blame you for using cell phones and computers and coffee makers made from plastic and metal and toxic chemicals that are all destined to contribute to e-waste. Our western capitalist consumerist culture makes it all but impossible to live without making the world a worse place.

We do applaud you for the efforts that you’ve made to be more sustainable. Perhaps, whenever possible, you ride a bike or take public transport, buy local and in bulk, buy used or avoid buying at all.  But we all know that’s not enough -- not near enough.

So what can you do?

Being inspired and taking action is a fantastic start. To make real change, however, you need go beyond seeing problems and seeking solutions. You need to see whole systems and envision what “really good” looks like, at scale and over time. You need to be equipped with approaches, frameworks, and tools that empower you to create a positive and beautiful future that is aligned with nature and humanity. And you need to tie into a global community of like-minded and equipped individuals.

In order to change an existing paradigm you do not struggle to try and change the problematic model.

You create a new model and make the old one obsolete.
~ R. Buckminster Fuller
