Concentration: Environmental Policy & Planning
Resistance is Fertile
Green Social Change through re-innovating previous ideas to function within the natural flow of energy and sustainability. Using the similarities between capitalism and natural production to transition our society smoothly into a more environmentally aware and efficient economy. Stimulating and inspiring respect for our natural environment and the biodiversity and human diversity that is present in our world system. Celebrating the innovation of applied technologies and their potential for further progression into an environmentally respectful future. Using our new ways of thinking to take a proactive stance on living with respect for the environment. Making the Green revolution truly green by shifting subsidies more towards reclamation techniques and away from further destructive and reductionist techniques. Utilizing our position to develop and restore our communities into functional systems that provide cultural social services that mimic ecosystem services in their ability improve the current conditions of our environment.
I'm still not getting the whole "boring" thing. This is REAL sustainable thinking. Let's use what we have got, and stay out of denial, eh? Let us take into account cultural and economic realities that are substantial components to what we call development, AND use them in synergy to move us into sustainable practices. In the words of McDonald's, "I'm lovin' it."
