Once we settle on our common goal and the set of shared values that can help us realize it, we must articulate and start building the alternative. The details of this are more than can be covered in a single article. But for now it's sufficient to realize that the basics of this alternative consists of reconnecting with nature and relocalizing our communities--both of which can be supported by implementing steady-state economic principles and basing our governance on an Earth jurisprudence.
This provides a vision for a progressive future. It provides a foundation for an economy that works for life. The unanswered question seems to be whether or not progressive leaders and organizations are willing to come together themselves to support a framework that focuses on putting the arsonist out of commission so that we're not constantly battling more single-issue fires and our organizing can focus on more than just trying to get more volunteer firemen.
