Problems of the world

... are simply too great in number to list here and now. For you would be reading through the night or simply loosing interest. Therefore, I shan't.
What I will do, however, is list a couple of ideas and key speakers/authors I believe every person alive in this world (when old 'enough') should see or read.

Today, I feel sad; and honestly I don't know whether I should hope that humanity is just so insanely stupid or that it is just a part of a nice, big, world-wide conspiracy. Perhaps my feeling today is simply due to lack of oxigen in my system - should excercise my haemoglobin and muscles, I think.

A book explaining how we should redesign our world economy from the linear system

that it is now (producing waste, cutting forests, dividing wealth to the rich) into a circular economy, into a restorative society. And how it can be done: The Ecology of Commerce, by Paul Hawken. (Alternatively, if you are more of a visual type or would just like to see something positive for a change, see this inspiring video: Paul Hawken: Blessed Unrest, at Bioneers, 2006)
