About Us

As discussed in the previous version of "about us", we do think that without "Global Mind Change" (to use Willis Harmon's term) this civilization is toast, period. As anyone relatively awake can notice, the phenomena is indeed already taking place. However, the process is still far too slow, and too few appear to perceive that much of the "green" agenda is now way behind schedule -- and (well intended or not) is doomed to join, in real effectiveness, what in popular terminology is referred to as "greenwash"...

Recently, after a lengthy debate with a friend from Quebec on the merits versus the seeming futility of contemporary activism, he sent us a little story which aptly expresses what this website is "about"; in fact that is the only reason it came to be....and so we pass it herewith further along:

The Hummingbird's Share

One day, a huge fire started in a forest that was home to several animal species. All of them were terrified and aghast, watching the disaster helplessly. "What's going to happen to us? What will become of us?"
During this pandemonium, only one tiny hummingbird was busy, going to get a few drops of water in its beak to throw on the fire. He flew back and forth non-stop from the river to the blaze.
After a while, the armadillo, irritated by the hummingbird's pathetic efforts, said: "Are you a fool! You don't believe that with these drops of water you're going to put out the fire?!" The hummingbird responded: "I know I won't, but I'm doing my share."
Every animal was affected by this reply and got to work. Each one did its part and they succeeded in saving the forest.

When you see a hummingbird, think of its determination. We each have a responsibility to the world. Regardless of what happens, if we put our minds to it, we all have some power.

Much like the hummingbird, we do know that our little contribution won't put out "the fire", or to put it more aptly, ignite enough fires of awareness. But, in spite of this recognition (and now -- after a decade of trying -- somewhat worn out) we are still here, more or less...
