"Global
2000 Revisited is both thunder and lightning across the landscape!
Thunder of terror if we continue as of the present! Lightning

Hey..
Lets Build an
Eco Economy !
Do we have the collective will to put healing the ozone layer
at the forefront, to educate ourselves, educate others, to check
products on sale locally, to question local business and industries
as to their use of these chemicals, to enact local restrictive
legislation as needed, to demand national restrictive legislation
and compliance from industry and the military; to demand the
necessary aid for Third World countries to get their CFCs, HCFCs
and halon under control? Earth-Policy.org

What
is Global Governance?
Organizations
and information focused on the creation of worldwide methods
and structures of governance and problem normalization and harmonization
(not necessarily government) to tackle the urgent problems facing
the globe, be they poverty, environmental degradation, economic
policy, food, human rights violations and so on. Topics include
United Nations, Globalization issues and Human Rights. Global
Governance includes NGO's Non Governmental Organizations, Civil
Society, and Third World countries. Other areas include globalization
and its effects, positive and negative, social justice and multinational
corporations, as well as anti globalization and non-governmental
organizations. Plus the effects of globalization, economic globalization
and global issues. Topics may include arms race, militarism,
civil society, policy harmonization, third world debt and more.
We
desperately need to recognize that we are the guests not the masters
of nature and adopt a new paradigm for development, based on the costs
and benefits to all people, and bound by the limits of nature herself
rather than the limits of technology and consumerism."
"Mikhail Gorbachev
Chairman of the Board,
Green Cross International"
Realizing a better world--a new higher reality--involves understanding
and actualizing concepts and practices which reflect the timeless
perennial wisdoms. That which is lasting, wisdom, beauty and
the universal truths of natural science and higher philosophy.
These perennial
truths and practices define our higher human nature, right
human relations and right relations between human beings
and the natural world.

Thomas Berry, Books The
Great Work We are about the Great Work. We all have
our particular work--some of us are teachers, some
of us are healers, some of us in various professions,
some of us are farming. We have a variety of occupations.
But beside the particular work we do and the particular
lives we lead, we have a Great Work that everyone
is involved in and no one is exempt from. That is
the work of moving on from a terminal Cenozoic to
an emerging Ecozoic Era in the story of the
planet Earth...; which is the Great Work. - Thomas

As
opposed to just forging ahead in ideologies that do
not serve the whole of life and humanity on this small
fragile delicate planet we are all totally dependent
on for our support. It appears that global society
is beginning to seriously consider the structural
changes in our civilization that are being recommended
by environmental, social, economic, political and
spiritual experts that is based on life long assessment
and observations. -State of

An
ethical approach to globalization can mean nothing
less than a rights-based approach to development. -

Now..
Does Anyone Really Know What Time it is..the end of
the old world or the beginning of a new world..
The
World is at the Crossroads We are at a critical juncture in
history, a "decision-window" where we face both the danger of
global collapse and the opportunity of worldwide renewal. We
have, at most, 7 years to head off unsustainable trends that
would lead to a "tipping point" beyond which there is no turning
back. By 2012 we either evolve to a safer, more sustainable
world, or the social, economic, and ecological systems that
frame our life will break down. "The World Future

"Anyone
who thinks that an economy can be expanded forever, within
the confines of a finite planet, is either a madman or an
economist." ~ Economist Kenneth Boulding ~
We
are in the Time of the Deciding Moment
Civilization has
made a lot of progress in the last 100 years.
We are just now beginning to see that our institutional, economic,
energy, environmental and social support systems are not in
the best shape to handle the pressures that unregulated and
uncharted development has on the systems we all count on every
day. The current structures of global and regional civilization
currently do not have the experience, mechanisms and structures
in place to efficiently handle, prepare and confront the increasingly
complex ecological, political, social, cultural and economic
problems of current and future global challenges and scenarios.
Reality is now hitting the planet and human civilization
very hard. The misconceptions of our institutional, economic,
environmental and social policy processes are becoming increasingly
very clear to everyone. The good news is that millions of people,
institutions, celebrities, societies and many leaders are beginning
to engage a new world cooperative view. This is based on the
communities of life and humanity, a commitment to the collective
development of reason and civilization and an open process of
communication and dialog. A world view that the web of life
and the environmental ecosystems must be protected under global
governance as the foundation of global development is emerging.
We have spent the last 100 years building global hierarchies
for a handful of institutions and people. Through this process
we have reached the current point of global civilization very
quickly. We now must spend the next 20 years organizing network
communities of civilization, reason, ingenuity and sharing to
create a sustainable future for all of humanity and restore
the ecological web of life. This web site is about bringing
to you the visionary leaders and groups who have the models
and the answers to bring forth solutions to the next stage of
a more functional cooperative sustainable civilization. Welcome. Through the expression of great ideas
and great ideals, humanity is beginning to awaken to the
possibilities ahead of us. A Brilliant Peaceful Global Society is just ahead of us
