Sharon has arranged for Ken Pentel of the Ecological Democracy Network to join us and share some of his thoughts regarding creation of an ecology based economy and ideas on what we might need to do to get there, including the need for proportional representation in government and getting corporate money out of politics.
From the Ecological Democracy Network website (http://ecologydemocracynetwork.org/):
"We aim for transition from a human-centered
to an ecology-centered view of the world. From this altered perspective, as part
of the bioregion of Minnesota, each economic exchange, be it barter or a
traditional money transaction, inherently restores the water, air, soil, and
habitats to health and sustainability. Or, to put it another way, a balance
would be established by making Minnesota's economic health dependent on the
health of our natural resources."
See the Ecological Democracy Website above for more on former MN candidate for Governor Ken Pentel and his organization.
Hope to see you Monday.
