Big Pine Key, Florida.

As a long time activist I've always opposed an economic model based on growth and mindless consumption. There was this old Adbusters line that pushed it's readers to ask their leaders and to ask themselves...

"Is economic progress killing the planet?"

The answer has always been obvious if we kept going the way we were.

The news gets darker every day in terms of unemployment and loss of wealth. As it gets closer and closer to home I worry about my family and friends loosing their jobs. I worry that they haven't the slightest clue as to what is coming to them and their refusal to make lifestyle changes in preparation or precaution (even after I've talked to them and nearly begged them to watch the CrashCourse to no avail). I see tough times and uncomfortable changes ahead for many of us.

Despite my feelings I have to look at the bigger picture and when I do I see light at the end of the tunnel. And for once in my life I'm feeling like there is some true direction to my future and purpose.

The current economic crisis coupled with the recent mainstreaming of environmental values bring me nothing but long term optimism. I see this as an exhilarating time filled with opportunity.

Could this be what sparks a true paradigm shift?

Can the economic crisis save the planet?

I think so and I hope so. Things need to get worse before they get better. Like an addict sometimes needs to hit rock bottom to see they've got a problem.

Just felt the need to spew and hoping to share some optimism with those who are still at a different stage of awareness. Your thoughts are most welcome.

Visualize whirled peas!
