Time Scale

Join in Transforming Our World for the Better

“You Can Make a Fortune… …Saving the Planet”

Michael Porter (Harvard) – We need to rewrite Economics Textbooks to recognize the new reality. Paul Polman (Unilever CEO & WBCSD Chair) – “Double the company size while reducing the environmental footprint and increasing social impact.” Ray Anderson (Interface) “The truth is, you can no longer afford not to act responsibly. Eating our own seed corn… is unsustainable.”

Prime Directive for Each Nation is:

• Protect Its Citizens

• Promote a Prosperous and

Sustainable Future

• Cooperative Internationally for

Managing the Earth’s Resources

Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983)

"With the Geoscope humanity would be able to recognize

formerly invisible patterns and thereby to forecast and

plan in vastly greater magnitude than heretofore. The

consequences of various world plans could be computed

and projected, using the accumulated history.“ – 1940

"Geoscope" was a tool for planning and stewardship

Spaceship Earth’ - 1963
