Help Us Achieve Sustainability
and
December 03, 2008
A comic framed the issues precisely, "I don’t wanna be an alarmist. Lemme rephrase that: I’m an alarmist." When Barack Obama said he wanted to "change the mind-set that took us to war," he elevated the global conversation and created a new profile for American leadership. It's the perfect moment. The outlaw capitalism driving the warlike mind-set has just crippled itself. Simultaneously, the Earth screams out it can't tolerate the inherent destruction and waste. If Obama can model a new mind-set in calm, confident and reasoned terms, the path to sustainability, no matter how radical, will emerge spontaneously, obvious and welcome.
