We know we have "ideas whose times have come", because we see more and more people thinking like us; we are constantly editing and heightening the vision of this website, the call for an urgent programme of "Education for True Sustainability", and the call to what is effectively a "war effort".

We know you are lurking there because we see the numbers of visitors increasing.  Join the Forum to comment on the website, and we at least will pay attention. We believe that presently, some important and unique issues will emerge that enable the Forum to catch on locally and globally.

Be open to rethinking Reality. Deep challenges and changes. Simplification of lifestyle. Cut through the crap.
We are the problem... and we can be the solution...

There is no greater power than a community discovering what it cares about. Ask "What's possible?" not "What's wrong?" Keep asking. Notice what you care about. Assume that many others share your dreams. Be brave enough to start a conversation that matters. -- Margaret Wheatley (World Cafe) --

Forum: General Courtesy

Lurk first, hang about for a while and read the general style of posting that is accepted here, if you are not sure. Courtesy is very important in Internet forums where we do not see people face-to-face, and where experienced users are aware that, in addition to wilful misusers, we can all say inappropriate things at times. We need to handle human situations and extract ourselves so that "everyone wins".

If your reply is not a positive contribution to the topic, it may be removed. This can arise where contributors derail the original topic into a circular feud. But only wilful offenders will be permanently removed or blocked, after having received fair and courteous warning. Read the "Rules" about spam etc.

Sometimes people miss the finer points of good posting. But we hope this helps you start off with the best. And if a topic is important to you, speak up - we can only put in our suggestions for improvement when we have your post to reply to.
