For 3D, sustainability is an ideal, meaning: to live in harmony with nature, ourselves, and one another.
Sustainability is an ideal. like: every child has a right to the finest education.
It's pretty idyllic stuff.
And each one of us represents a unique origin for how sustainability comes into being.
Here’s something interesting
about people who lived right here in Berkeley thousands of years ago:
“Ohlone culture …a world in which the people had a close physical and psychological bond to the environment and to the customs of a small society. For some village members, their entire existence might be spent within a radius of ten to fifteen miles of their natal village. Each rock, spring, tree, and creek was known intimately. A heritage of thousands of years lay under the Ohlones' feet as most of the major villages contained deep deposits, built from the debris of daily life, that sealed the remains of the Ohlone past.”*
Do you know the name of the tree closest to your home?
Does it matter? Ask someone. Then, ask someone else.
It’s time to be surprised at different answers. It’s time to be together.
Today, 3D Commends the Following Heroes for Sheer Inspiration:
Nature/Orion Magazine
The Northwest Earth Institute
And
Alice Waters
There’s A Whole Lot More To Come.
3D is about making connections.
