Principles exist so that you can see beyond yourself

“As we peer into society’s future, we-you and I, and our government-must avoid the impulse to live only for today, plundering, for our own ease and convenience, the precious resources of tomorrow. We cannot mortgage the material assets of our grandchildren without risking the loss of their political and spiritual heritage.”
President Dwight D. Eisenhower

In ‘That used to be US’ - Thomas Friedman and Michael Mandelbaum

…That is the bet that China has made in its twelfth 5 year plan, authorized in March 2011, which stresses that development of renewable energy will be the key to China’s energy security for the next decade…Moreover, renewable energy depends on new technology…”Chinese solar panel manufacturers accounted for slightly over half the world’s production last year..In addition to solar energy, China just surpassed the US as the world’s largest builder and installer of wind turbines.”…China has become the world’s leading builder of more efficient, less polluting coal power plants.

It is human nature to remember and latch on to things that confirm your world view and ignore and discount those things that don’t. It is called ‘confirmation bias’

obon:

The GreenBox looks like a normal pizza box however the top of the box is perforated on the inside and splits into four sections that serve as plates.  The remaining bottom part of the box also folds up into a smaller profile box for storing leftovers.

GreenBox is made from recycled corrugated cardboard and is made by Evovention based in New York.

I want to be free. I’m not asking for superficial freedom, the freedom to travel, to leave this house (even though that would be unimaginably blissful). I’d rather feel free inside—to choose my own path, never to waver, not to follow the swarm. I hate this community spirit they go on and on about. The Germans, the French, the Gaullists, they all agree on one thing: you have to love, think, live with other people, as part of a state, a country, a political party. Oh, my God! I don’t want to! I’m just a poor useless woman; I don’t know anything but I want to be free! Slaves, she continued thinking. We’re becoming slaves; the war scatters us in all directions, takes away everything we own, snatches the bread from out of our mouths; let me at least retain the right to decide my own destiny, to laugh at it, defy it, escape it if I can. A slave? Better to be a slave than a dog who thinks he’s free as he trots along behind his master.

We still think too narrowly and too closely about ourselves as individuals and as a species and too little about the consequences of our actions.
