What role do art and storytelling play alongside science and data in responding to our collective human predicament? And how can we strengthen our communities and plant the seeds for a different way of life, starting in our own small corners of the world?"

"By thinking beyond immediate needs and designing with adaptability in mind, we can build communities that are not just functional today but that continue to evolve and thrive for generations to come.

There is a simple way to make #sustainability and #nature conservation part of the #economy.
If the price of each product included an additional #EcologicalValueAdded, #ecological projects would be part of the business. This additional component of the price would be the amount that the manufacturer would have spent on a socially desirable ecological purpose.
It would consist of the Ecological „VAT“ of its suppliers and the one that it would have set for itself in addition to this.

I settled on the acronym BIOS to suggest the vital elements of life in society, a life in association with others, and not just any association but one whose flickers of life are sustained for more than a few vicissitudes of history. Sustainability in that life requires democracy, a society based on a distinctive form of social compact.

#workthatreconnects #joannamacy #sustainability #EmergentStrategies I offered a Work that Reconnects class yesterday for 15 people called Honoring our Pain for the World. We started in gratitude and then had space for speaking our pain: personal, national, global & ecological. People provided compassionate witnessing. It was powerful to put words to the grief, build community and realize we are not alone. We have to work together to make change, especially now.

Something I love is the #vegan and #sustainability vibes. It fits my politics and outlook on life perfectly!

If you need any more persuasion, I also do a damn fine Skeletor impression near the end.
