"Rewrite our story." In a powerful address to leaders gathered at #COP26, David Attenborough called on countries to turn "tragedy into triumph." #ClimateChange #ParisAgreement #ClimateAction
rewriting our history, the history of men is neither inventing new concepts, nor resizing our space, nor regulating the birth or death rate, but quite simply returning to the source and reviving the Cartesian values of the relationships that exist between man and nature. Moliere once said: should we eat to live or live to eat. only the human species invented the need for storage which today created these drifts that we experience today. others have become a threat ... because we live to eat. we have descended lower than the animal. we must dare to rewrite our history or we will all perish! !

The climate change's speechs are easy to write and read when one flies private jet to COP to sell the ' green practices.' UN Climate Change since COP 20, how much positive and direct investments has the COP members invested in the countries and populations that are supposed to maintain the forests? One simple example the Democratic Republic of Congo is home to ± 60% of the Congo basin forest ? How are the most empoverished populations benefiting from all the pledges that are being made by the biggest polluters on the planet ? #YouthEmpowerment #Education #InvestInDRC_Human_Resources #Infrastructures #Agriculture #FoodSecurity

Lots of words and not enough action
We support the deforestation initiative at #COP26 and hope that in addition to restricting supply (forest) - there will be reduction in demand. The most obvious idea that everybody seems to ignore: reduce the NEED for paper. For example if documents and presentation were not dumbed down PDFs -- people/organization would not need to print them and kill forests in the first place. There is some analysis here https://relayto.com/relayto/relayto-for-green-617c0ab67ed23/oAZ4OlGo1 And we are happy to help any environmentally-focused charity or corporate impact team to reduce its "paper" footprint

The Journey of Tragedy to Triumph may not happen by mere coincidence, unless you PLAN for it! The Sustainability is Journey, does not stop by NetZero that needs to go towards Net Positive output neutrality patterns - that needs affirmative Life Style Consumer Changes. The affirmative Nature Based Lifestyle can drive more employment, economic prosperity and positive production-consumption patterns and Process Maturity (CMM-H). The ideals of "Design With Nature" needs to be at its core of Human Habitat. http://www.Nexis.Space
I feel like progress is only made in small steps, rather than leaps and bounds, and never for the right reasons of propelling humanity forward as a collective whole, but in short strategic moves like a chess game, crafting the best path for profit and greed lead by the very people we entrusted with that power. Only at the precipice do we change, while the world may not end tomorrow I do see small pockets of hope with investments in a better future, but for them to really succeed, there needs to be economic security, and there lies the greatest challenge.
We need a mass sign out of the money economy. Humans are not smarter or dumber, fitter or weaker, competitive or incompetent, except relatively inside a frame of reference. The economy is an artificially created frame of reference, not a natural one. In a natural frame of reference, there can be no value creation, just as no energy can be created, it's a physical impossibility. For value creation, in the money economy, for money to change hands, a differential needs to be created. Fear, greed, shame are some emotions exploited to sell us more stuff, obviously without which there's no way for surplus value to be created and siphoned off. Love is our default exchange mechanism, not money.
