Global Warming, Peak Oil, Resource Depletion, and Sustainable Living

The international Awakening the Dreamer movement is, like Transition, an organized approach to allowing communities to re-invent themselves in an energy-efficient, planet-protecting, and sustainable manner of living.  Emphais is placed on spiritual and emotional change as well, and this is particular to the Awakening the Dreamer effort.

PlanetThoughts.org will be following up on a regular basis with more observations on this important topic.  From the Web site:

This is arguably the biggest story of our age; how tens of millions of people in millions of organisations around the world are recognizing that our current ways are dysfunctional. They are seeing sustainable, peaceful and just alternatives and standing up for their visions.  In many cases this means standing up to governments, corporations or the peer pressure that seeks to perpetuate our present worldview.

The movement embraces the work for human rights, for the protection of our environment, for access to education, healthcare, housing and even food and water. In another language these are: environmental sustainability, spiritual fulfillment and social justice.
