One asks if we can have global sustainable development if we cannot see for ourselves how we are destroying the planet in the present. Surely we have to learn about our internal motives before we can take intelligent external action..
Below is a copy of a web form sent to the United Nations 5th October 2013 in response to their request for global sustainable development goals.
Global education that includes being able to understand ourselves as well as gain external skills. This could be in the form of introductory talks on self awareness.
Programs to enlighten all people the need for sustainable consumption and production, especially in the west where we have simply too much of most things and there is a need to downsize and not keep going for growth.
Nations should not be set against one another anymore than individual should be set against one another. Religions of the world too could learn something from global co-operation rather than the situation we are in now where individual, nation and religion separates itself from one another. Encouraging co-operation through practical programs
at all levels will help an understanding of our interdependence and relationship.
Wellbeing is the personal state that is able to live in any part of the world without fear of abuse and violation, and without fear of aggression toward the individual and freedom from fear of the lack of food, shelter, movement and expression.
