Re: [DE] what to do

To the DE action thread I saw. Please check-out www.sunship.org
to get a climpse of salvation from what I think can best be described as
the populous fossil-fuel century. As we pass the 6 billion mark for
planetary
population growth, change must come through work from the likes of global
thinkers like Peter Russell (_The Global Brain_). Now with the power of the
Internet, I think it can. And the DE list contributers should be outh there
leading the way.
If this sounds worthwhile to you, please write me with your ideas.
Strength through numbers.
