Being Positive.

If there is one truth on which I stake this blog, it is this:

We need to learn to live sustainably or our species will perish, and until we do we the natural destruction will be horrifying.

I believe we can learn what we need to learn, and I can only hope that we learn it before we lose too much. Before the Earth loses too much. I hope we don't lose butterflies. I hope we don't lose elephants or gorillas or sharks. I think we've probably lost the Polar Bear, but maybe miracles can happen. I hope we can learn to live sustainably before we lose bees and have to figure out new ways to pollinate. I hope we don't lose crabs from the Chesapeake Bay.

I believe we can learn to live sustainably, but I don't know how much suffering it will take for us to change our behavior. That's what it will take -- us changing our behavior. We have to be willing to live differently. Ultimately, some mass of people will have to live sustainably, and push for a sustainable economy, and then it will happen.

If we start now, we may be able stop the destruction before its too late. Imagine if it is too late.


Imagine if it's not.




Imagine how great it will be when we actually contribute to the health of the world.
