Default Re: *Warning: final phase of the downward spiral.

Humanity seems to be at a crossroads where if we carry on as we are we're doomed. I hope the economic "crisis" will force more individuals to question their activities/material desires and embark on the path of putting people and the planet's well being before excessive economic gain or profit?

Idealistic perhaps but I find the following quote by Margaret Mead, an anthropologist, hugely inspiring. 'Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed people can change the world; indeed, it is the only thing that ever has'.
