Sacred Economics traces the history of money from ancient gift economies to modern capitalism, revealing how the money system has contributed to alienation, competition, and scarcity, destroyed community, and necessitated endless growth.

Today, these trends have reached their extreme - but in the wake of their collapse, we may find great opportunity to transition to a more connected, ecological, and sustainable way of being.

A great insight holding true to my personal perspective on delivering a sustainable future in considering fundamental value change. While it might be futile as a collective norm as it overlooks self interest, it rightfully challenges mainstream solutions that build on the system that has caused global environmental degradation.

Having looked at some of the commentary around KONY 2012, it seems that this best sums up the dialogue going on. Yes, its important to be critical about campaigns such as this and how they are isolating a single issue amongst a complexity of perhaps bigger ones. However, it is an issue and cause worth attending to and we not all guilty of not fully understanding the bigger picture. It seems our hands are blood red to?!

Brazilian artist Nele Azevedo, Berlin, Germany 1,000 ice sculptures melted under the Berlin sun as symbols of the effects of climate change, drawing attention to a new WWF report on risks of Arctic warming.

Awesome perspective.

A portion of nuts that squirrels bury for winter never get recovered. If they did, there would be no nuts to bring up the next generation trees and woods. Maybe this is where  humans sometimes go wrong. Is it always about efficiency? Claims are made that we can be more sustainable if we are more efficient, maybe there is some truth in this but it might not be the only or the best game in town.
