Probably all ShiftInActionites will be interested and happy to know what ABC-TV is doing to help facilitate 'The Shift'. Prefaced with, "To change our future, first we must imagine it," ABC announced an unprecedented television and internet event. It is asking us to help answer what we know is probably the most important earthly question of our time — What will our world be like over the next one hundred years if we don’t act now to save our troubled planet?

On their site www.Earth2100.TV they say, "The world’s brightest minds agree that the “perfect storm” of population growth, resource depletion and climate change could converge with catastrophic results. We need you to bring this story to life — to use your imagination to create short videos about what it would be like to live through the next century if we stay on our current path. Using predictions from top experts, we will feed you detailed briefings from the years 2015, 2050, 2070 and 2100 — and you will report back about the dangers that are unfolding before your eyes.

"Your videos will be combined with the projections of top scientists, historians, and economists to form a powerful web–based narrative about the perils of our future. We will also select the most compelling reports to form the backbone of our two–hour primetime ABC News broadcast: Earth 2100, airing this fall."

Yours toward mutual empathy, understanding, and integral health . . . individually, socially, and ecosystemically,

Bob

Bob, I see extreme climate change happening before my very eyes. I am very worried about the food supplies for the world in the future.
I'm not seeing all as worry, some I'm seeing as a unique uniting of the world to help each other survive past these changes.

Thank you, Catherine, for sharing your insight. I too foresee a probable uniting of our world to help each other healthfully survive the dramatic changes taking place. Let's hope and trust it will take place soon enough. Best wishes, Bob

Nice post Bob.

Now if we could just take snap-shots of the pictures in our minds ... and post them at ABC and along the highways .... like the old days.

And here I thought I was the only SIA blogger old enough to remember the Burma Shave signs. Will wonders ever cease?! Good to hear from you again Larry. Sounds like you've fully recovered. Warmly, Bob
