sustainable communication needed

Before we can find our way forward to a good enough future for our children in a sustainable world, I suppose we must find a way to organize and maintain SUSTAINABLE COMMUNICATION about the global challenges posed to humanity by the unbridled, skyrocketing growth of the human species and its soon to become patently unsustainable consumption/production activities now overspreading the surface of Earth.

We cannot wait until next year........

........for the world to change.

Dear Friends,

Thanks so much for all you are doing and planning to do differently. Your examples have got to have something to do with what is required of us all now. All of us have got to find new ways of making a difference just like you are doing.

Here we are, one year away from national elections. Many people seem to be "marking time" and waiting for a new day. For the moment, and since the turn of the century, leadership has not been up to the challenges of our time.

Because the problems that I am seeing cannot wait "until next year," I keep doing what I am doing, and hoping to do things better by doing things differently. Current leadership appears to be making bad matters even worse, not doing things better. If leaders keep doing what they are doing now, we will likely keep getting what we are getting now. Therein lies a big problem.

Always glad to hear of initiatives like Step It Up and to know so many people are active. Not just to me personally, but for everyone's sake, this work is vital.

Sincerely yours,

Steve
