The world is the
way it is today

because of the stories we have
communicated to each other.

Every culture has
a mythology that

answers the basic
questions-- who are you?

What is a human being?

What's important in life?

How does change
happen in the world?

Where do we come from?

Where are we going?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

One of the problems
with the old story

within Western
culture is that it's

perpetuated a
sense of separation

between humans and the planet.

We are putting so much
pressure on the environment,

so much pressure on
poor people, so much

pressure on the atmosphere.

Never before has a mass
industrial civilization

run on the principles
of interconnectedness.

We need the perspectives of
different cultures in order

to weave the story for
humanity of the future,

not try to reach a single
story, but figure out--

what are our common values?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

The Western world is
discovering its role

on the co-creation of a
new world on this planet.

It's for real change.

Not just the small
changes but major changes,

systemic changes.

We have the
collective intelligence

to create all the
solutions we might need.

It's not just
solutions out there.

It's solutions in here.

We're not going to get out
of this environmental mess

by science and policy alone.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

We need to build a movement
that connects ecology,

social justice, and cosmology
using the power of dream,

the power of story, the power
of art, and the power of action.

Anything that anybody
does that is for life

automatically makes you a
revolutionary for our species.
