They're too close to the trees to see the forest.
People in California or New York understand that Alaska is not so big.
They live in places where the wilderness once seemed limitless,
but they know it disappears.

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?

Coherence Tools
Being coherently aligned while radiating compassion and care increases focus and effectiveness. However, any genuine care and compassion you radiate benefits the planet, whether or not you are in total coherence. You can radiate care and compassion for the planet while riding down the road, exercising, working in the yard, standing in a grocery line or at any time you can squeeze it in.

WE ARE THE ONES WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR
When I first heard of Thomas Banyanca, a beloved Hopi Elder, I was attracted to his name. Years later I heard him speak to a small group in the mountain town where I lived. He sat on a folding chair with us gathered around him, looking as though he had just stepped out of a corn field in the Hopi Nation. His jeans, flannel shirt, old boots, and rough hands together showed us how closely he worked with the Earth. He spoke in a robust, friendly…

....that leverages consumer power to make the most socially-responsible business practices also the most profitable choices. Businesses compete with one another to see who can do the most good, and then a big mob of consumers buys products in order to reward whichever business made the strongest commitment to improve the world. It’s the opposite of a boycott.
