Opening the inbox this beautiful grey morning enlightened to the existence of two new books, both of which I want! They concern the most important technology we have, our brains, and the mental shift required to transcend crises and embrace a positive future reality.
Thinking BIG, taking massive action, and working together instead of against eachother… that’s the theme in a nutshell. In started with the newest podcast on RenewableEnergyAccess.com, and continued to the new book Breakthrough: From the Death of Environmentalism to the Politics of Possibility. The truth is we are inspired, much like our ancestors who escaped and fought back against ravenous beasts of all kinds, by our own survival, not our demise. Lets envision our Survival, in a BIG way.
Lester Brown’s new release, Plan B 3.0: Mobilizing to Save Civilization, focuses more directly on the massive actions, sharpened to a spear-tip by Climate Change response, required to transform our vision of a future in which we Survive in a BIG way. It is quite doable, when willpower, money, technology, and bio-regional (more localized) means of fulfilling our needs are committed to. Reducing emissions is just one benefit of this shift. No longer throwing our wealth into a black hole, or fighting against one another for limited resources (we’ll work together to restore and conserve them), are two other majors pluses.
The only tradegy that may unfold here is that we were too slow, apathetic, and/or depressed about getting on with the exciting job that has been placed before these generations, and this particular point in history.
Guy Dauncey, an example of man excited about Surviving in a BIG way. If you ever the opportunity to hear him present on Solutions, go!
