"In a few decades, the relationship between the environment, resources and conflict may seem almost as obvious as the connection we see today between human rights, democracy and peace." Wangari Maathai, founder of The Green Belt Movement
Description of a Thriving Planet: When the harmonious interdependence
of all forms of life is the standard by which all manmade inputs and outputs are determined; when humanity - so central to this drama -
is humbled by its reliance on
other forms
of life,
whether visible or
invisible
to the human eye.
Description of Freedom: When all
people
throughout the globe, awed by
the
gift of life,
live
in peace with
one another and
in
harmony
with nature.
Description of Peace: When greed no longer
rules, fear is put to rest and gratitude is the common currency of people throughout the world.
"The many crises facing us should be seen...not as threats,
but
as chances to remake the future so it serves all beings."
L. Hunter Lovins & Amory B. Lovins
