Nat'l Geographic asks us about Shell

The magazine wanted to know what we thought of their Shell Oil ads.

"In general my opinion of National Geographic is high, my opinion of all mainstream oil and energy companies is low.

I think we have not evolved the consciousness we need to be effective guardians of the planet as our dwelling place.

Since our destructiveness so far outpaces our consciousness through human history we need at this profound point not so much an evolution but a revolution of consciousness. That starts with clarity of information, a more dimensional understanding of life, passion for collective and individual ideas, and an open-ended search across all disciplines, arts and cultures for visions and other perspectives we have never known.

We ourselves and political leaders in Washington and elsewhere ignore the welfare of the planet and especially of other planetary species and lifeforms at the expense of human life and the human future."
