Paradigm

I feel as though the paradigm needs to be changed because people the vision that people create for the world is too perfect. The world is damaged, so we need to create realistic ideas about how to impact the environment positively. This is a complex idea, but it will take several good ideas to come up with one realistic paradigm. Changing our current environmental situation is going to be difficult enough, but having a plan that is possible needs to be the first step.
The environmental policies and the political and economic demographic of the United States is grossly unsustainable compared to other countries around the world. That does not go to say that the rest of the world is safe, they are not by any means acceptably sustainable either. Focus on economic growth needs to come to a screeching hault around the globe. Given history of human nature, this will not happen until something extremely dramatic, and probably terrible happend to the human race. Once everyone's eyes are open to the real problems we face our paradigm will shift to saving the Earth by becoming more sustainable in everyway.People now are ignoring concrete scientific facts and evidence that we are in way over our heads, we need a rude awakening as a species, and only when that happens will we start moving in a direction of hope for humanity.
