lines of communication were frozen for a time .Then the fairy godmother appeared, she exists for all, clearing the static allowing the true questions to emerge. In an age consummed by the need to communicate trivia, the commen stuff of life has it seems ,to be sensationalised in order for us to pull our eyes away from the ever spinning disco lights and reels of sound., reflective glass and self entrancement.Did our ancestors really walk the highroad in search of a better life, so that we could all become spoilt children.
I remember a conversation I had years ago, with some visionary in the built enviroment field.
So he said, we go for equality from this point forward, it will take some time, during that time, as all the peoples of the world aquire the object we take for granted, the avaiablity of the materials to make them will dwindle in size, so that just when everyone wants a car, central heating, air conditioning. The oil will run out.
The planet will have reached saturation point with pollution and anyway there is not enough iron ore in the world to make a car for every family.
That was in 1978.
The ensuing discussion arrived at the decision that only inequality, the giving up by the haves, of some of their advantages, the weight of research to go in to the development of sustainable projects, sustainable at a level of consumption lower then that 0f the then present, only that direction would lead to a more humain world .
and so we talked and went of into the world to spread the word .
30 years later here we are.
save the world
