The changes you call for are daunting. Do we have time?

We have very little time relative to the magnitude of what we must accomplish. We must act with all due speed and determination on the assumption that a narrow window of opportunity remains open to us. To assume that it is too late is to create a self-fulfilling prophecy. The very act of spreading hope that change is possible creates a positive energy and intention that expands the window.

    Fortunately the same steps we must take to avoid potentially terminal social and environmental collapse are the same steps we must take to mitigate the damage and to create the world that most all the world's people truly want. The one thing we know for certain is that business as usual creates a significant risk of terminal social and environmental collapse and bars the realization of our shared dream.
