It’s over 18 months since we began our quest at Plan C to shift the focus of environmental debate from ‘what kind of world do we want?’ to ‘what kind of people do we have to become to make that world and then live in it sustainably, peacefully, intelligently and courageously?’
During that time our intuition that who we are being in relation to our cause, is equally as important as what we are doing, has only strengthened.
Our discussions - on this site and off - have taken us into deep territory. From the nature of beauty, via our responsibility not to see the earth as a victim, to the role of intuition in guiding us forward, we have begun to recognise certain themes, certain signposts, pointing the way for people who are also beginning to intuit that sustainable change is only possible from the inside out.
Proposing a fixed road map, a prescriptive formula for how to become the dynamic intersection for the political, economic and environmental transitions we need to make today, is not our objective at Plan C.
However, it seems wise to try and articulate the terrain we see. Make clear some of the path. Point out the pitfalls we've noticed that prevent us from being more effective in our collective quest to create a more sustainable and loving society.
Over the next few months, or however long it takes, we’ll be posting our Road Map to Creating Sustainable Change from the Inside Out, part by part. You are welcome to read these thoughts as a set of linear steps to follow, or, enjoy them as different facets of the same jewel.
We look forward to your comments and feedback.
