>From my Inbox: Dear Earth reader,
The Nu-chaa-nulth (a very wise First Nations group in Coastal BC) say that "all things are inter-connected in our living world." Unfortunately, our Modern (or Post-modern if you wish) world-view tends towards 10 second sound bites, fractured and abstracted, limiting our awareness of the real inputs and outputs of consumer society. The Sacramento Bee has put together an excellent "special project" that walks the "internet surfer" through some of these inter-relations, demonstrating how consumerism is spoiling the Earth. If you have children between the ages of 10 and 18 then you might wish to visit this web site with them as a family learning experience. http://www.sacbee.com/static/live/news/projects/denial/c2_1.html Dr. Adrian Blunt (a world-classed educator) once explained to a friend of mine (who explained it to me), "All these problems are 'adult education' issues -- there is no other way to change the world." So with that in mind, I strongly endorse and recommend the Bee's project, entitled "A State of Denial." Cheers! -- Han Tacoma ~ Artificial Intelligence is better than none! ~ PS.
