Dear colleagues, being out in the southwest, close to a wildness area and in the middle of the second reading, I find issues around climate change /disruption the most compelling. My immediate response is we need to be proactive in our BB&N Eco system and understand the ways we change bring about change and then move forward into understanding of larger issues. driving home this afternoon I listened to a journalist Robert Jensen, a professor of journalism. At the University of Texas. his talk was "A Call to Action" as he talked about how to transcend the high energy extractive model. Quote " glacial ice in the Peruvian Andes that took 1,600 years to form has melted in 25 years the latest indication in global temperatures has thrown the natural world out of balance."
his question below is one worth considering.
" how can we live our lives with integrity and contribute patiently to the slow work of making the world a better place."
Realize this is not on our reading list, however consider Bob Samples "Coming Home: Community, Creativity and Consciousness"
I would like to add that the questions at the end of the first chapter of Education for Global Competence will be useful for our community.
Peace and blessings
Libby Maclaren
