From the Age of Economy to the Age of Ecology

Satish Kumar discusses the limits to growth and the potential for the transformation of human society to be positive rather than entropic, with the aid of active hope and optimism. He asserts that the great movement of transformation has already become.
Aged 85, Satish is an extraordinarily positive role model for lifelong activism. He describes what nourishes him and offers insights into what and who have inspired him, like Bertram Russell and Martin Luther King (who he both met). He also speaks of non-attachment to outcomes, our small daily actions for change and the tipping points that will come to seed a better world.
Satish Kumar is an author, an ambassador for Resurgence Trust and Schumacher College, and a lifelong activist for peace.

'Small, simple and humble is powerful!' Thank you for these wise words.

I think we can solve all the physical converging planetary problems by relearning to play (not work) with productive environments. Perhaps a physical problem like we are witnessing can only be resolved with action, which also means we need the guru's to bring us back. I thank you both for your efforts.

Ecology needs to offer options and solutions not regulate and require. The world would follow willingly.

Permaculture offers all the solutions if only people would listen

I think people are looking for less chemicals in our food and household daily use products! Other countries don't use all these chemicals on their people as the USA does. It's killing us slowly.
