We're not in an environmental mess because we don't have better, smarter, safer options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We've been building technology solutions for over a century. Solar panels have been around since the 1880s and EVs were already on the market in the early 1900s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Powerful systems solutions and smarter implementation practices have been developing for decades - at least since the publication of The Limits to Growth<\/em> in 1972.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The underlying reason we're in an environmental mess is that the self-protecting human systems we call \u201cbusiness\u201d and \u201cthe economy\u201d have been stuck in 19th century design thinking for way too long. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The same evolutionary biological forces that make mature forests stable ecosystems also impact human behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We don\u2019t have time to upgrade the global human psyche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And we don't have to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Instead, if we leverage the leading edge of the expanding \u201csoft tech\u201d revolution, we can make the improvements we need to make with the human race we currently have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Following quietly behind the Information Revolution is a whole new world of human understanding. Some examples include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n When we acknowledge what the human race is (and especially what it ISN'T) - then we can get on with the job, applying the wealth of solutions we already have. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It's time to take a good dose of Radical Acceptance, then get to work applying the best solutions from fields as disparate as Systems Thinking and Generative Innovation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Within multiple disciplines - old and new - the tools exist that can help us make the human systems changes that will regenerate the ecosystems we need to survive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You win anyway, regardless of how the future develops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The skills that will shift us more rapidly to a smarter, safer, fairer Regenerative Economy will also enhance your relationships, your career and your working life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because the overall ability to get things done in human groups will help you thrive in any environment - from corporate jungle to rural outpost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I've been building a library of resources on both Regenerative Business <\/a>solutions and Innovation Delivery<\/a> skills for years, and now I'm building this blog - An Inconvenient Species<\/em><\/strong> - to explore the human in the global warming equation further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you'd like to be part of making a world where our Inconvenient Species thrives along with the rest of nature, then sign up for updates to get ideas in your inbox.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The real inconvenient truth is...
