We have a common topic for discussion that is based on a natural system. 30 years ago Polio was regarded as disease that we had to accept. Today the number of wild polio diagnosis is down to a handful, the last advice I had is 10. It took a lot of talking and it has happened.
Climate has been changing since the dawn of being. The recent (last 300 years) changes have been accelerated by human activity. Yes humankind will change, adapt and will seek more sustainable ways of living. Now I’d the best time to discuss how we may adapt, the things that we can change and the systems that support sustainable living. Robert Menzies a long searing prime minister of Australia, leader of the conservative Liberal Party is reported as saying something like “enterprise without regulation is chaos”. The model of “winner take all and be dammed to the hindmost” as represented by many Western countries is not sustainable. Neither is the rule by force in many dictatorships where the very few have riches beyond understanding and the many are so poor they barely have enough to survive. We know chaos is the breading ground of ideas for change, conversation is the tool to build the process and Open Space technology is and ideal process to get the best out of every conversation for all who participate. Let us talk on, let us share our skills and be an active part of the conversations about change and our sustainability. The next generations are seeking ways and means let us do what we can. In our own space. When the time is right the people will come!
