The corrosive power of hopelessness-WHAT CAN WE DO?

1.  LEAN LOGIC.  A masterpiece of sustainable thinking.

Lean Logic
David Fleming was a holistic economist and among other things, involved with founding the Green Party of England and Wales.  His book Lean Logic: A Dictionary for the Future and How to Survive it is a masterpiece; posthumously published. Surviving the Future gives a taster of the Dictionary. Take a peek. 


2.  Non-violent activism.  We must push back.  It is our moral duty.

Gene Sharp’s 198 Methods of Nonviolent Action. Find out more at the Einstein Institute‘s website. Pick a nonviolent action and change the world.
3.  Human Rights are necessary.  (But need to include rights of non-humans).
Declaration of human rights
An attempt to set down some basic rules for Utopia? Have you read them?

2.  Cars are shitty!

Yes I know I am a old VW Campervan nut but get this:  Cars ruin cities. Cars isolate us. Cars pollute regardless of fuel type. I’d like a car free world. This is a hub for the growing car free networks around the world.

Plant for the Planet has a mission to plant a trillion trees and they need all our help. 

avaaz
Just one of many petition based lobbying organisations. Don’t get cynical. Keep signing them. One large scale campaign from Avaaz is calling for huge areas of the planet to be returned to wildlife, to allow the biosphere to rejuvenate. Rewilding is close to my heart and is a big part of the solution to our problems.
