Redesigning the Planet: Global Ecological Designs

Redesigning the planet is a conscious effort to correct the massive ‘unconscious redesign’—perhaps ‘unbalanced reordering’ is a more appropriate phrase—of local and global systems. The ‘unconscious redesign’ is an unconsidered effect of the activities of changing economic and political structures devoted to self-growth and private profit. This unbalanced reordering is rapidly changing the social and environmental orders that represent the natural capital of social and environmental evolution. The reordering is also constructing an accidental trap that leads to massive catastrophes, which will destroy that capital it needs as the basis for its renewal. Only an equally massive response of a conscious ecological design framework can lead to some form of balance.
