'People closest to their challenges have the imagination to solve their issues – they lack time, resources and space to dream' sorry for paraphrasing @ImmyKaur rather ineloquently but this is so important to understand before designing 'services' and add more sticking plasters.

From Imandeep Kaur – Transitioning Together: Building Community
Kate Raworth, of Doughnut Economics fame,
How can we escape outdated ideas? The ones that harm us because they disconnect us from each other and from the rest of the living world.
…
I was taught that the shape of progress is an ever-rising line of growth. No matter how rich a nation already is, no matter how destabilised the climate, no matter how degraded the land, no matter how unequal the people, the answer always given is yet more growth.
If we are to learn to belong again in the community of life on this delicately balanced living planet, we need to escape that shape, and come to find something that enables us to thrive. And here’s how we could get started…
The current rise of populism challenges the way we think about people’s relationship to the economy.We seem to be entering an era of populism, in which leadership in a democracy is based on preferences of the population which do not seem entirely rational nor serving their longer interests. ...
The server will be getting hardware changes this evening starting at 10pm NZDT.
The site will be off line for some hours.
Good topic. Have to spend the day teaching grafting apple trees, or I'd join the discussion. Looking forward to reviewing it tonight 🙂
A worthy way to spend the day. I'm outside mostly today too, garden, river…
Kate Raworth said something about making sure we have fun with the changes 👍
Brilliant! First, we envisage, then we channel energy toward what we have imagined, lastly, we fabricate.
(I did baulk at singing though, so guess I'll never hear the end of her Ted talk 🙂
30 people came to learn to graft at Te Anau. A great deal of talking occurred. No one suffered a cut. Slightly sunburned now, but happy as!
helping build a small island of coherence on the shores of Lake Te Anau.
Don't think you missed much with the singing, although she does have a nice voice.
I'll put up another post at some point, I'd like to know how people see NZ living inside the doughnut. Probably need a different name. Living inside the Shrewsbury biscuit perhaps, but let's find something more Pacific flavoured.
Great post, thanks for the dose of positivity!
My takeaway was that individual actions CAN indeed make a difference (something I'd been doubting since one of Monbiot's articles). They won't solve crises, but can inspire mass change.
I didn't quite get the singing either, bit I did get the bit about play and fun being useful.
it's the mass change I'm counting on. We've never had more choice for action than now, it's how to get people involved that seems the sticking point.
