3. Yes! I have been saying these things for years, the logic is undeniable.

"We need a new paradigm to respond to the fragmentation caused by various forms of fundamentalism. We need a new movement, which allows us to move from the dominant and pervasive culture of violence, destruction and death to a culture of non-violence, creative peace and life. That is why in India, Navdanya started the Earth democracy movement, which provides an alternative worldview in which humans are embedded in the Earth Family, we are connected to each other through love, compassion, not hatred and violence and ecological responsibility and economic justice replaces greed, consumerism and competition as objectives of human life."

"Seed Laws and Patent Laws that seek to make sharing and saving of seed a crime by making seed the “Property” of companies like Monsanto,forcing us to pay royalties for what is our collective heritage."

The tools are already available, simply embrace that change we need. Support movements like Earth Democracy.
Search; Degrowth, Permaculture, Slow Money, Relocalize, etc.

4. How do we get from here to there?

To the utopian society that we crave. Do we all sell off all our worldly belongings and go
somewhere to start over? And where would that be? I've been an environmentalist my
whole life. And I have accomplished nothing. How do we stop the megacorporations from destroying our planet? So far the score is MC 1000 and us 0.

5. If I were able to implement three changes I think I would start here:

I would reward those who promote organic farming practices.


I would reward those who promoted cooperation in our schools, domestic and foreign policies, health care and banking..


I would promote alternative energy for homes, facilities, transportation.
