As rosanne rosannadanna used to say, its always somethin. Escaped into the wilds of the pacific northwest to pick chantrelle mushrooms with doctor bugaboo and creepy claude. The topic was deep ecology and living systems, with the philosophy of Fritjof Capra being poked and prodded for discussion. The triage of form, process and matter require creative genius to bring it together in an adaptive system that works for all contributors. Cooperators have to see immediate benefit potential, which can be realized on demand. But the key is to allow the investment to grow, to leave the pot ripe for development and spin out the most productive aspects to generate employment opportunities. True environmental advocates are not necessarily tree-hugging fruit loops, some of the best enviros are the farmers, ranchers, loggers and woodlot owners that run the day-to-day operations of managing land. Start wearing different hats, seeing thru different eyes and thinking with curiosity. If you want to really learn, show up at a public meeting and ask pertinent questions. You might be surprised at how you get answers.
