Update May 8 2021

This “Brainstorming Zero Carbon ASAP” Project has been put on temporary hold, while Stefan Pasti [founder and resource coordinator for The Community Peacebuilding and Cultural Sustainability (CPCS) Initiative] compiled, arranged, and edited the paper “Do We Have Moral Compasses We Can Rely On? (13 page Table of Contents is a kind of Executive Summary)--and shared this resource on Twitter.

“Injustice and suffering had to be faced up to, he said, and the power dynamics of resource and technology distribution, reckoned with.”

… there are many so-called “social and environmental externalities”
which should figure in our reassessments.

Achieving Zero Carbon Resilience and Sustainable BioDiversity--and resolving many other unprecedented challenges which could easily cripple our best efforts on those two--
[see Section C in “Do We Have Moral Compasses We Can Rely On” (the 13 page Table of Contents
can also be a kind of Executive Summary)--links in Twitter profile and accessible on homepage of The
Community Peacebuilding and Cultural Sustainability (CPCS) Initiative at www.cpcsi.org ]
--will require unprecedented cultural transformations in communities around the world.

We have an urgent need to very carefully re-examine what ways of earning a living we need--and what our work makes of us, and the world we live in.
Fortunately, there are now many online engagement software providers, and such online engagement can help maximize citizen and resident participation in localized brainstorming about challenges and solutions (Ex: engagementhub.com.au/software-features ).

We as a people need to have
the kind of moral constitution which faces the truth,
and takes on the kind of work that really need to be done

--until we again have a Planet which isn’t trying to get rid of us.

Many of us may not like the conclusions that we ourselves arrive at
from such engagement with unredacted assessments of the challenges of our times

--such as downsizing our sense of what we are entitled to
--living very lightly to reduce energy requirements
--and re-establishing truly circular local and regional economies
(see Section C in the “Moral Compasses” paper, above)

--but until we face reliable analyses and assessments of where we are and where we need to be going, there will be people everywhere who are not sufficiently informed about critical issues, and who are investing their time, energy, and money--voting--all the time.

We as a people need to have the kind of moral constitution which faces the truth, and takes on the kind of work that really need to be done--until we again have a Planet which isn’t trying to get rid of us.
