Every human being is a unique manifestation of living nature. We consist of clustered molecules and a delicate ecosystem of millions of interacting microscopic entities that are our symbiotic life support. When we pollute our environment, we pollute ourselves, with all kinds of nasty consequences. Equally, disconnecting ourselves from our natural core values and corresponding responsibilities, produces all kinds of mental disorders. Mental disorders that produce all the problems in the human world today (competition, aggression, hunger, refugees, narcissism, suicides, negative stress, excessive consumerism, greed, social segregation, discrimination, etc).

To overcome this we need to:

• Acknowledge our shared (inter-human and institutional) responsibility for our core natural human values: integral health (physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, environmental), safety (including respect for each other and our natural environment), awareness (learning together), shared responsibility (seeing our sustainable existence as a co-creation, not a cost or financial liability) and fulfillment of our basic needs (water, air, food, warmth).
• Create prioritized local, interdisciplinary communities to address these core natural human values together.
• If none of the local silos takes the initiative, ask STIR for help. We can help set things up.
