As civilization becomes simultaneously more knowledgeable and more regressive, we see an imminent threat to ourselves and our planet in peril. Yet there are solutions now. Humanity and Mother Nature need to work hand in hand in order to survive and thrive. We need to work with the energies of the earth, the sea, and humanity, not against them; embracing racial and gender equality, humane health practices, sustainable technologies and new paradigms in energy, governance, architecture, planning, engineering, land use, zoning, code, marine ecology, preservation of species, and all human activity. Through adaptation of the systems inherent in the universe we inhabit, we can ensure the health and continuity of all life forms, including ourselves. -Tina Spiro
