Good Afternoon from Philadelphia!

I often feel that sometimes people focus on the welfare of their family members to the extent that it becomes selfish, and to the exclusion of immigrants, and people who don’t share the same religion, skin color, or cultural heritage of their family.

Tracy Johnson KCMO I agree

I agree

ecologically sound

economically viable

That's a terrific set of criteria for sustainability.

socially just

humane

What ever happened to us hitting the Sustainability tipping point back in 2007- that came with some decision from Wal-Mart of all places

^Echoing Lee, asking: is Wal-Mart still controlling 42 or more percent of U.S. agriculture?

ethics and values = part of humanity / sustainability

I love to hear Terry define sustainability so elegantly

That's amazing to hear about Wal-Mart! And the impact on their competitors...

there are severe limitations on what these retailers consider sustainability. mono culture is still primarily grown, and can be considered organic.

farmed salmon can be sunsafe

unsafe

post a link to doc in chat?

I am sorry, but it is very difficult to read while you are talking. No disrespect intended

I have finished. :) Thank you for the time

I don’t think Obama would make that statement today

Curious as to why only (with the exception of Buddha) Islamic-Judeo-Christian religious figures are quoted in the declaration? Scientists? Humanists? Other world thinkers...

Just a suggestion .. in the future , attachment of the link or documents in the registration for the webinar.

I was referring to the preamble text

Here it is: http://afors.org/declaration-of-co-creation-and-interdependence/

Okay sorry I missed it. LOL

aspirational for sure.

to your point.

https://rethinkingschools.org/articles/the-pandemic-is-a-portal/

Historically, pandemics have forced humans to break with the past and imagine their world anew. This one is no different. It is a portal, a gateway between one world and the next.

We can choose to walk through it, dragging the carcasses of our prejudice and hatred, our avarice, our data banks and dead ideas, our dead rivers and smoky skies behind us. Or we can walk through lightly, with little luggage, ready to imagine another world. And ready to fight for it.

beautifully said

^Thank you, David!

it’s aurendati Roy, not me. see above

very nicely said!

Is there an online link to preamble so I can enlarge to see, please?

http://afors.org/declaration-of-co-creation-and-interdependence/

love this

This is inspiring!

I like the preamble the best

Love it

Thanks Everyone!

i want to be a part of this!

Thanks, I did not realize I read this with the declaration. It is flows well.

Very inspirational!

The Preamble I could relate too!

green washing, you don’t change your polluting behavior, but give money to some organization that is planting trees, or setting up a mutual fund that says it is investing in good stuff

actually I have heard this so many times. I wanted to see the rest before calling the preamble helpful.

Yes! Declare it!

Is this webinar also available for Spanish speakers?? I'm impressed with all this information but definitely would be amazing to share all this with my community and some of it feel more comfortable in Spanish. Thank you!!!

nice prose

Let’s begin the daily living up to these ideals, please ’n thank you.

actually, acceptance should play a part in this

THANK YOU
