$A Taoist Perspective on Trump - The Opportunity for Grassroots Action Some thoughts on how Trumps Victory can provide a window of opportunity, if those concerned about the future take a more taoist and ecological systems approach to our activism, education efforts and use of social media. This year our planet hit 1.5 degrees warming, and CO2 levels keep rising. I believe this is because very few people understand the complex nature of this problem, or how to take creative and meaningful action. In my opinion, Donald Trumps victory provides us with an opportunity to bring people together, to educate each other (especially Gen Z activists) about creative solutions which require deeper wisdom, community action and understanding. Our global economy needs to be redesigned at the grassroots level. And very few of our political and business leaders seem to understand that, or want that. In the video I mentioned how former president Obama lectured his own daughters and Gen Z activists, saying there is not much we can do to stop climate change. Here is that video, along with a clip of him bragging to oil industry executives how he increased gas drilling and fracking during his administration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgopX2V7ZL0 Economic localization, regenerative agriculture and a circular economy are examples of solutions that already exist, but need to be implemented at local levels, by communities and small businesses. Realize, that we cannot trust our so called leaders to solve these problems with electric cars or carbon capture machines. Where will the energy and materials come from for these technologies? Trump threw out the Paris Agreements, but the Net Zero 2050 solution adopted by corporate leaders after that is a disastrous approach. This New York Times Opinion piece does a good job explaining why: We Debunk the Latest Corporate Climate Lie | NYT Opinion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RilwnjDwTOc What few people realize is that we can solve current problems if millions and billions of humans stop supporting the global economic machine (dominated by multinational corporations) and shift to more local economics, learning to think more like Nature, ecologically and creatively. Which has not happened until now. Thanks for considering these ideas.
