Of course, that does not mean that everyone on the lists turned off their main power supply for the hour, but I hope that enough did so to send a message to our political leaders, who (except for the Green Party) still don't get it. > > > > As people who care about nature and the future, we need to inform ourselves as much as possible about the threats to both from continuing to accept the mantra of that great Ponzi scheme known as conventional economics that "growth is good". As long as we continue to grow the use of the capital of the earth's resources (through consumption and degradation) to make money for investors, we are getting ever closer to disaster, as some thinking people have realized, at least since Limits to Growth was published by the Club of Rome in the 1972. We must try to get the message to politicians by all methods. and work to get those elected who really care. End of sermon. > > > > > > Wayne P.
