Ideas Worth Spreading

Posted by Reginaldo Haslett-Marroquin on March 18, 2009

I receive information just as many of you in the thousands of gigabytes a day, but every once in a while, something so powerful that it becomes irresistible to share comes along. Below is a link to one of those things worth sharing widely.

By the way, don’t think of this as judging people who do things that to others think to be wrong, none of us have the right to judge others, but we all have a fundamental responsibility to think about the consequences of our actions and the impact of our choices in our ability to preserve the natural environment that sustains life.

Think of what each of us are doing and how much we know about the consequences of our daily actions, are we aware or do we just assume others will fix what we destroy in the process of living our lives. Why is it that we still see so much indifference in relationship to the consequences of our way of thinking and acting about development, global trade, consumption, etc. We have come far enough into a path of self-destruction that we have to change our ways, there is something so fundamental and far reaching to the consequences of not doing so that we really need make a move, specially in the area of economic development.
