Lessons from Haiti
Disaster struck in Haiti. Limited infrastructure severely damaged, thousands dead or missing. Someone interviewing a tired doctor who has no help since all medical staff are trying to save of find family. She asked: “How do you cope, yourself?”. His answer: “I have changed mentality a long time ago. In material worlds success is measured in percentages. Here we are happy for every single person we can help. More I cannot do.”
The world is in transition from % counting to true serving. Business and politics are about to change dramatically.
Climate top? Politicians go for a sustainable past not future
The climate top in Copenhagen is run by politicians. Politicians don’t have a mission with the future. They are being democratically elected just to maintain the past. Copenhagen is hence a waste of time. Just think about how many billions were spent in WEEKs to keep up the failing banks and how many problems they all make to spend a significant lesser amount in DECADES on the consequenses of climate change. If it were up to politics, in 50 years humanity sits on pile of money, probably fighting those who are left over, and without food, water, hapiness, health or vitality. Al Gore became a true activist when he lost his political ambitions. Climate top? Anything but politics. Let them go home and try to get re-elected.
A true climate top should be helt among entrepreneurs who are trained to deal with the future and learn now that 4 x profit, customer/social/ecological and entrepreneurial benefits in balans = sustainable business. This top is not necessary because it is already happening, often (temporarily) blocked by politics.
Who cares?
According Dr. Lovelock we will count a human population of only one billion on earth in 50 years time. Right now we are 6.7 billion and growin. What killed such magnitude of people in such sort period of time?
Wars among people for basic resources s.a. water and food
Natural dissasters caused by climat changes, influenced by the humans
But who cares? This is something to deal with for our kids. All we need to deal with is to assure they get a material herritage and that we never have finacial shortage. But this herritage we pass on is actually lethal for our kids.
About time we start to care, really!
