Hey, all:

Hey, Amanda:  In other words 'how in hell did we get HERE?'  Heh heh.....   A big part of the total environmental issue for me is the advent/combination of psychology, sociology, religion, and marketing in business and economics.    Tricking consumers to be so dissatisfied with their selves and their lives, through psychology, sociology, demographics, and religion in Western marketing campaigns, so they will buy anything at all--vastly beyond their means--that they believe will improve their existence,  is one of the biggest reasons for environmental problems. This is one big reason for egregious overconsumption of resources.  Your "social problems and behaviors" is another major aspect of these problems.   This also reveals our dualistic, anthropocentric mentality--humans on one hand, and nature on the other.

Most of what I have seen or heard is 'how-to' guides to achieve the above (or its results) rather than how to reverse and resist these efforts, and repair the tremendous damage and prevent future damage.  As an AoF, here in WE or Earth Charter, I am not sure if such has been suggested, but it certainly is interesting.   Setting it up is one step toward learning how to undo it, individually and globally.

Good Idea--Good Success!
