    1. we've learned the  hard way, actually, over the past 50 years, that we don't solve sustainability  problems by only raising awareness. It's not enough. Yeah. You also need some  some, some top down influence on what I call keystone actors to get key players in  the economy or, key decision makers to move.

      for - climate crisis - raising awareness alone - is not enough - need to also influence top down keystone actors

      climate crisis - raising awareness alone - is not enough - need to also influence top down keystone actors - This is only part of the story, the other part is developing a coherent, unified, bottom up movement - While statistics show a majority of people of must countries now take climate change seriously, it's not translating into TIMELY and APPROPRIATE ACTION and BEHAVIOUR CHANGE - The common person is still captured by the pathological economic system - (S)he still prioritised increasingly more precarious survival over all other concerns, including environmental - Ths is because most survival activity is still intimately tied to ecological degradation - The common person is not sufficiently educated about the threat level. - And even if they were, there does not yet exist any process to unify these collective concerns to trigger the appropriate leverage point of bottom up collective action
