Got Courage?

The quote above is going to stay until we get off the present path. We CAN get off it, you know. It requires a decision to no longer live in denial, to, in my father's no mincing words, "get your head out of your ass."

Plan B 4.0 is an eminently doable, profoundly sensible, plan that restores hope to a world and its people that desperately need it. If you want to feel good about something, feel good about getting behind it. It is a turn away from the irrational road of doom we're on, and one toward a brighter future. We've got a lot of problems; if you want this civilization to have the opportunity to work on those problems, to have a chance, it needs this as a basis. Your children will thank you for working, really working, toward a definably brighter and sustainable future. You've been wanting to do that for a long time, haven't you? You'll feel good about it too.

Because that will mean a whole helluva lot more to you than any amount of material wealth or comfort or entertainment.

Plan B 4.0. Buy it. Read it. Talk about it with people, including YOUR local, state, and national leaders.

Because spectating on this one is a vote for the end of our civilization. The closing paragraph of the book states it inescapably:

“The choice is ours—yours and mine. We can stay with business as usual and preside over an economy that continues to destroy its natural support systems until it destroys itself, or we can adopt Plan B and be the generation that changes direction, moving the world onto a path of sustained progress. The choice will be made by our generation, but it will affect life on earth for all generations to come.”
