Walking The Walk....to a better, Sustainable Future

Thanks to SickLiberal for doing Most of the walking done to produce this video.

Music gratefully taken from Primus, Pelican, Mogwai, and Modest Mouse

This is a cooperational video by all kinds of people from the US, Canada, Bosnia, Finland, Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands, the UK, Mexico and Uruguay. And we, I'm sure, are not even a tip of the iceberg. We want to break the marginalisation and the right-left, Republican-Democrat, conservative-progressive, and narrow interest polarisation of the subject of sustainability. It's in everyone's interest to have a rational and open minded discussion, informed by science and research in alternatives. Because the time for action to restore harmony with nature is now. And the rational debate, so far, has been in backrooms at universtities, in NGO's, and in small innovative businesses, not in the public media.
Now the consumption of oil is already higher than the production for two years, and the oil and food price is exploding, there's an unstable financial system, and war rages in the Middle East stretching from Sudan to China. To top it off our governments now have less and less concern for human rights. Citizens of a democracy should speak up, and there's some time to catch up for.
With this video we announce and open the 'WalkingTheWalk' channel, where we will adress this topic in full detail and from different perspectives. We welcome all who share the sense of urgency and interest in this topic to join in. Share information, points of view, and inspiration!

Is this what you believe also? Do you agree with this quote.

"In order to stabilize world population, we must eliminate 350,000 people per day. It is a horrible thing to say, but it is just as bad not to say it."

- Jacques Cousteau, 1991 UNESCO courier

When ever I listen to videos of this type it makes me think that the Indigenous people of America had it right and that their system was the better system when compared to the European system that was brought to America with Columbus in 1492. The culture and life style of the Indigenous people of the America was very sustainable, and they lived in harmony with the planet and their surroundings. If you think of it, it is the utopia that I think you are trying to create. Let's go build tipis.

We have been talking about sustainability since at least 1798, when Thomas Malthus published An Essay on the Principle of Population, describing his theory of quantitative development of human populations. Why can't we just live happy heathly lives and not preach this same fear that the world is going to end which has been preached for over 200 years. Imagine somebody buying into this theory in 1798 and figuratively living in fear for the last 212 years......that would not have been fun.

@kenfla2 True. If one does not take action, their philosophy is merely a hobby. How can someone take another's philosophy seriously, if the person preaching it does not take it seriously? Granted that the way society is structured creates an entry barrier to living sustainably. For example; land costs and building codes make it highly impractical for someone to construct a home using natural building methods.

I see this video and i hear these people yelling at me and not one of them are living in a staw house. All of them has stuff around them that is contributing to the problem that they are preaching againest including that girl who said her family health problems came from the enviroment. I think the best thing for use to do is what the dervaes and gardengirl are doing. So now wtw or STFU

[isolationeitheror]
