Paul Hawken, Blessed Unrest and WiserEarth

This is a video talk by environmentalist, entrepreneur, journalist, and author Paul Hawken about his latest book Blessed Unrest: How the Largest Movement in the World Came into Being and Why No One Saw It Coming. And you don't even hear about it on the media. About 6 minutes long.

WE also strongly recommend this hour-long talk about the same worldwide movement, by Paul Hawken, in the Authors@Google section of YouTube.

Authors@Google: Paul Hawken

He's pointing out that there are about 1-2 million grassroots organizations in the world, focused on a huge variety of ways of stopping harm to the environment and people, and fostering/implementing new ways of relating to our world and one another. This movement is non-ideological, has no leader, is composed of 100-200 million ordinary people, and is decentralized, he says. There has never been anything like it in history before.

Highly recommended for both optimists and pessimists about the future of humans and the earth.
