Gus Speth writes: “I used to think that top environmental problems were biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and climate change. I thought that thirty years of science could address these problems. I was wrong. The top environmental problems are selfishness, greed and apathy, and to deal with these we need a cultural and spiritual transformation.”
Hey Gus – We worked together in the 1980’s. I want to add another point of view: To solve most environmental problems the world faces today, just add more women to the decision-making process. How many? Enough to make a difference. The female brain is hardwired by evolutionary biology with exactly the skill sets needed to manage the complexities of today’s complex, interconnected, volatile world. The US State Dept has policies in place to enforce this in other countries. Voters can mobilize to create this paradigm shift at the BALLOT box.
Alexia Parks is a virtual mentor with the United Nations, Newsweek’s ”One of 50 people who matter most on the Internet,” and founder of the 10 TRAITS Leadership Academy. It is the only science-based leadership training program in the world that uses the New Science of the female brain to engage and mobilize a new generation of leaders. Her book: 10 TRAITS of Women of Power and Courage describes the science behind women’s evolutionary rise to leadership in the 21st Century.
