Some Ideas

- We need to exchange the industrial revolution for the restoration revolution (What are we restoring? Human and natural communities and systems)

- We need to invest in those entities that will enhance our lives in the future (e.g., renewable energy, water and waste water systems, localized agriculture) and stop dumping money into entities that jeopardize our survival (e.g., stock market, consolidated banking, auto makers, etc.)

- We need to understand or relearn that the best things in life are not things.

- We need to take back our political system from monied special interests and those who are associated with them.

- We need to reconnect with our neighbors and rebuild the fabric of our communities.

- We need to be educated and aware.

- We need to slow down and understand that it is OK to think and be thoughtful.
