This last week with the climate meeting at the U.N. and Greta Thunberg’s passionate speech, there’s a feeling among those of us who care about climate change that we really need to act and act quickly.
As usual, however, I’m left with the same question: how do I make it better? The answer I keep hearing is “pressure the government to do something” or “protest.”
I think those are worthwhile efforts, but I can’t see how they’re going to harness enough creative and effective energy to make the kinds of changes we need in the timeframe we need.
Governments and corporations are not the problem-solvers. Individuals and small groups are the ones who solve the problems; governments and corporations can play a role later and help scale the solution if that’s needed.
What we need to encourage is what Buckminster Fuller called the Design Science Revolution. It’s a peaceful revolution where individuals and groups work together to create fundamental change. It doesn’t depend on government to act; it depends on all individuals acting on their best innovation.
I can’t see any better way for me to support the Design Science Revolution than to help you strengthen your personal universe, think more comprehensively, and find your innovation.
That’s why I’m here.
By the way, there’s a new webinar scheduled for next Thursday: “Finding Truth in the Clutter”. You can sign up for it now if you’re interested. Attend live, or watch the recording when you have time.
