Love that this video asks "what  kind of change-maker are you?" But many people don't consider themselves change-makers at all. Maybe the question should be 'what would it take to make you a change-maker?'

Finland also can do this because they have a social democratic plan based on oil resources. Try to operate the same in a country that has significantly more landmass. Just the transportation alone across Canada or USA for food and resources use up a lot of resources. You're essentially saying any island nation that doesn't have oil resources are worthless. And then what happens with tourism? Is that a resource?

You guys are awesome for educating people.

The things are a little bit more complicated than this! 1st. is necessary for each and everyone of us to realize and understand all these three components that you are pointing out necessary for the change. 2nd. in order the "1st" to happen, each and everyone of us has to make an effort to learn and know ourselves. Without the "Know Thyself" nothing is going to happen. Knowing yourself is knowing the big, deep psychological process that is happening inside of us and shaping us as individuals. Of course, this shaping starts from the moment we are born and influenced by environment(family, community, school, etc.). To make the first steps toward knowing yourself, one should abandon all the institutional values that are imposed on us, next: to start observing him/her self and take note how they react (instead of only, maybe just respond) or are affected by situations, relationships with other people, next: all the previously mentioned staff can be done through a very thoroughly done internal, psychological inventory. All this of course is a great challenge and enormous task.
This system is obsolete because it is unsustainable, it is degrading for the individual and the planet as a whole.
Knowing Himself.

To change is easy, start with small things and try to improve in the right direction.

Thanks for the videos and the commitment, you are great persons.

The first step is a real and thorough education, discussion and debate on the hard realities of this world. Not the dog-and-pony shows we get from the mainstream media. People can't take action unless they truly know that they are ready to act. When you ask for action of a person whose education is stunted, you're going to have people who go out and lose sight of what they had set out to do in the first place. More education is needed. We're not ready for this adversary quite yet.

This is so fabulous! Thanks so much! I hope this goes viral because it does say just what we need - citizen engagement. And it can be in a variety of ways -there's room for everyone. And it can be fun. Love how you can put complex ideas together into a simple and empowering message.

Action is always better than words. We support organic, grow more trees and plants. Let`s better grow food rather the weeds. Save the world from the Junkers, who exploit our land for their greedy instead of the need.

I did google it. And regardless of that, an economy dependent on natural resources can still be exploited where there will be major issues. And it will be to maintain a certain lifestyle.

This is not about shopping, it is about working for systemic change.

Well Done! I want to participate in change by focusing on UNITY. I agree that WE can work together and take big action. We can not wait for those who prefer DISUNITY as they are clouded in their fear of change, prejudice or apathy. What makes those of us that want change is that we will gladly accept help from those fearful, negative people who eventually see the benefits.
