<p style="margin-bottom:0cm"><font face="Corbel, sans-serif"><font size="4">While
many of us are aware that the systems we are living with are not
serving the interests of the majority of humanity, and are actually
damaging the foundations of life on this planet, we can be
overwhelmed with feeling helpless to change direction. Our
dependency on these systems in providing our everyday needs, traps
us into supporting them. Lulled into a stupor by media, drugs and
shopping, we are complicit in our own destruction. </font></font>

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm"><font face="Corbel, sans-serif"><font size="4">With
increasing world-wide communication our collective concern for the
human family and the whole biosphere brings an awareness of ourselves
as integral to the web of life. This understanding sees, in the
current crises, the possibility of a new consciousness breaking
through old habits of thought and patterns of behaviour to produce a
more just and sustainable future.</font></font></p>
