[Sust-mar] Living on Earth as if we want to stay; Maritimes discussions Sept 21 - Oct 6

[Peter Watson]

Living on Earth as if we want to stay; 
Talks and discussions around the Maritimes.
September 21 - October 6
 
The problems unfolding around us are located at our cultural foundations.  While there is a role for technology in the transformation, it is the goal that we are trying to accomplish that will determine our fate.  As long as our cultural story calls for perpetual expansion, we will progress toward overshoot and collapse.  When we acknowledge that we are stretching planetary limits and set our goal to living within those limits, we have the knowledge and ingenuity needed to secure the future.  It is a Question of Direction.

We face a crisis of maturity. Physical growth is good for children; it is not good for adults. The human family is now grown up. Mike Nickerson will detail the challenge of accepting our maturity as a species and the opportunities that await when we make that choice. Life did not end for us as individuals when we became adults. In the same way there are great possibilities awaiting our societies when we accept the responsibility that comes with physical maturity.
 
Discussion will follow where time allows.
