Be The Change - Key Words And Concepts
Sharing Our Own Experience With Paradigm Shift Is One Of Our Most Effective Assets
Be the change and advocate paradigm shift.
The transformation of our society from consumer culture to sustainability will need a lot of encouragement, learning and participation. As described in the chapter, Aspects Of Paradigm Shift, a fundamental action of paradigm shift is dramatically reducing our eco footprints to a "sustainable" condition - from personal to society wide. Sustainability is critical to paradigm shift and starts in the privacy of our own homes. But we also need untold advocates of paradigm shift in every realm of public interaction - schools, work, civic administration, faith, public interest organizations, neighborhood meetings and much more.
Advocates for sustainability and uplift are most empowered and effective when they can share the experience of transforming their own lifestyles and when they also gain the broader knowledge or paradigm shift - why, how and the benefits.
The goal of Be The Change, is to provide useful new content for people already educating for sustainability and to encourage new participants and advocates of paradigm shift.
There are three parts to Be The Change.
1] Be the Change in one's own lifestyle
2] Advocate the Change to the wider world
3] Stories of people who do both
Be The Change Lifestyle
One of the first actions of Be The Change is to move significantly towards a sustainable lifestyle. That means reducing our own eco footprints - housing, food choices, transportation, what we buy and throw away, recreation, involvements in the community and much more.
Advocate The Change To the Wider World
Be The Change can also mean advocating paradigm shift. A core part of advocating paradigm shift comes from our own experience with a small eco footprint lifestyle. Our own experience means credibility. Advocating paradigm shift calls for sharing our experience with others and also for learning more about the broad and expansive realm of sustainability.
Stories
And then, there are people who do both lifestyle and advocacy. These are great stories of people bringing the ideas and practices of paradigm shift to the wider world. If you have a great story of your own paradigm shift lifestyle and advocacy or know someone who does likewise, please tell me. Thanks!
