If we spend all our time discussing problems, eventually the discussion becomes more important than the problem. Words by themselves do not create a sustainable future Money cannot buy a sustainable future Votes by themselves do not build a sustainable future Eventually we have to live it, and then it happens. Goals are important, but it is the journey that dominates our life. Sustainability isn't totally in the hands of others. Sustainability doesn't depend upon our science. We don't need a perfect vision for the future. Assuming we will fail does not make our life better. We don't need to fight battles or force others to change. What we can do is look for simple positive actions. Small actions are the only component of change, even big change. >> Thank you, I really enjoyed the above, and I've passed it along to some friends. It's nice to be reminded as we're on our journey, that WE still can make a difference, and we're NOT doomed. Mary
