Bill Clinton dubbed Paul Hawken’s book Natural Capitalism one of the ten most important books in the world. It also inspired Ray Anderson, CEO of Interface, to turn his entire business around and go green. Waylon lured Paul into one of Boulder’s many leafy, natural spots to discuss everything from hard nose business to the possibility of hope in a bleak environmental landscape.

Totally agreed.
I think people know what needs doing but we lack the organization(s) to do it. We can say to buy local but we dont have the infrastructure or political capital in most places to get it done. I think local co-ops for energy and food are a logical first step. People buy shares at some nominal rate and are allowed to share and vote online regarding its operations. Decentralizing will take work but be worthwhile and its the only logical way to side step this globalism bull****.
Is there an alliance of grassroots energy coops in the USA and Canada? If not..then why not?
Holla back on this board to bounce ideas and take action.
Peace

Great interview. Paul is a massive influence in the world. I liked the aspects of this talk that focused on radical hope and mass intention. The insight on the “once you knew” is so true, it will be great once civilization comes to this new consciousness.
