“The system of technological production that we have today has been justified in terms of creating more goods to feed more people and to meet more needs. But it actually destroys more of the resources that we need in order to meet those multiple needs. If we shift to an ecological perception, a diversity perception, we realize that some of the instruments of which we are very proud are actually extremely primitive for dealing with nature. To me that is the great lesson of ecological awareness at the turn of the millennium.” PeopleIfsNeedsHas BeensTodayOrderTurnsTermRealizingAwarenessProudLessonsDiversityPerceptionCreatingResourcesInstrumentsProductionsGoodsPrimitiveMultipleTechnologicalJustifiedEcologicalMillennium Author:Vandana Shiva

“The struggle is inner: Chicano, indio, American Indian, mojado, mexicano, immigrant Latino, Anglo in power, working class Anglo, Black, Asian--our psyches resemble the bordertowns and are populated by the same people. The struggle has always been inner, and is played out in outer terrains. Awareness of our situation must come before inner changes, which in turn come before changes in society.

“We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another, unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made of layers, cells, constellations.” LoveLifeHeartMadeSometimesPastGrowsGrowthAwarenessHumilityDiversityCellsMaturityRealmsDimensionsMatureRelativeLayersConstellationsPast PresentPast Present And FutureMaturedMingling Author:Anais Nin
