Despite all the environmentaltalk and action of 15 years,

nothing has improved.

Unless we change direction, we are liable to end up where we are headed.

All we have to do to ensure the devastation of all life

on earth is nothing.

The Economic Context

Selfish Capitalism in English speaking countries, (US, Canada, UK, OZ, NZ) was more competitive and successful economically, until the 2008 crisis.Inclusive Capitalism in the rest of Europe has produced slower economic growth. However…Stress and Distress in the former runs at 23% with higher childhood obesity, educational failures, social breakdown. Stress and Distress in the latter stands at 11%. Oliver James

“For millennia we lived on our income, ie what

we grew each year, until the Industrial

Revolution.

Then we discovered coal and oil. Thereafter

we metaphorically raided the bank and

extracted millions of years of irreplaceable

stored solar energy.

In our greed, we stole it from future

generations, and are polluting our own to the

point of extinction.”
