If you’re bothering to read this site, then I hope you’ll take the next step in joining us to BUILD a sustainable future for our kids.

I hope you can get past the “war of mass distraction” that is looks like our current reality. In your gut I hope you feel with me the truth that this ephemeral manifestation of “the way things are” is built on illusory premises and passing values.

There is a truth about our biologic reality and connectivity to the living systems that comprise our world that impels us to confront the destructive forces at play in our times.

My dad asked me last week “why don’t people care?” about this war, this destruction, this consumption and greed. I think people do care, but that fundamentally, we know that to act meaningfully in these times requires a level of action and conviction that is well beyond the scope of current rhetoric.

When you dare to envision a truly sustainable culture, you have to be willing to go beyond this new “green” fashion. Sustainability is not a product, it’s a radical notion.

Do we love ourselves, our children and each other enough to say what needs to be said and have the conviction to propose and act on that proposition that needs to be made?

Are we willing to put the rights of nature, which support our lives, on par with our own? Are we willing to literally fight those interests which WILL oppose this?

We are not in a position to even name what needs to be named and subsequently map out a plan to enable it, but we do know where we need to start. We need to start by doing the things we can do — every single one of those things. And do them together. And build relationships through that action that lead us to a new level of engagement that doesn’t yet exist, but that will become the platform for the next level of action, and the next and the next.

So what do you have to say to that?!?

Your friend in action,
Randy
