Hi Mark, (Steve H mentioned) As Blake said "A green an pleasant land"
I have no doubt MoQ provides that consistent view that we are all part of one co-evolved biosphere (one co-evolved cosmos in fact). If you look at almost any "interest group" forum I think you will find the topics of the day are sustainability, and turning away from consumerism and "unfair" global trading as the main source of so many other issues, and education in one form or another as a major issue underlying all of these. Of course many scientists believe we've already blown the sustainability option from our terrestrial perspective, and see the major priority to find alternative habitable worlds - but that may just be a plea for space-project funding ;-) Steve Hannon, pricked our pomposity by suggesting we don't take ourselves too seriously, but I say we should be asking ourselves what, other than tending our own garden, making personal choices to "turn away" from consumerism; what should we be doing specifically with the MoQ itself.
