-
The world is the way it is today
because of the stories
-
we have communicated to each other
-
Every culture has a mythology that
answers the basic questions who are you,
-
what is a human being,
what's important in life,
-
how does change happen in the world.
Where do we come from, where are we going.
-
One of the problems with the old story
within western culture is that
-
it has perpetuated a sense of separation
between humans and the planet.
-
We are putting so much pressure
on the environment.
-
So much pressure on poor people.
So much pressure on the atmosphere.
-
Never before has a mass industrial civilization
run on the principles of interconnectedness.
-
We need the perspectives of
different cultures in order to weave
-
the story for humanity of the future.
-
Not try to reach a single story, but
figure out what are our common values.
-
#Whatever your political party
-
#or whatever the colour of your skin
-
#we are all in this together
-
#and only together can we do something
-
The Western world is discovering its role on
the co-creation of a new world on this planet.
-
For real change, not just small changes,
but major changes, systemic changes.
-
We have the collective intelligence to
create all the solutions we might need.
-
It's not just solutions out there,
it's solutions in here.
-
We're not going to get out of this
environmental mess
-
by science and policy alone.
-
#We are all in this together
-
#and only together can we do something
-
We need to build a movement that
connects ecology, social justice and cosmology
-
using the power of dream, the power of story,
the power of art and the power of action.
-
Anything that anybody does that is for life
automatically makes you
-
a revolutionary for our species.
-
#Well come on now, well it's time,
-
#it's time to care for Earth
