I. "The old story that gets in our way is that of disempowerment and disconnection. Because people feel small and disconnected and that their acts don't matter, they lose connection to the immense power and wisdom of nature which can guide and heal so effectively and richly. By living from and relating to a whole person, whole planet paradigm, our potential is limitless.

Life has shifted as we have redeveloped local skills, use locally and regionally appropriate materials to meet our needs and have turned a monstrous waste stream into an elegant and creative culture of creative reuse. People more often choose to turn their lights and life down as we gracefully and ethically descend peak everything. And there you sit under the soft-glowing beeswax drip of another hive gift, bathed in the light of a well-lived, well-luved and well-designed life."

II. "When I think of particular colors, icons and symbols for sustainability, I imagine colors like the greens of fresh grass, the deep sea and fir trees, warm natural hemp and tobacco colors, a little dash of earthy brown and some pale robin's egg blue. The typical icons include trees, plants and leaves, hands holding hands or 3 arrows bent into a circular form – like the recycling symbol, but I also see something like an interconnected network – like a mind map where each element is connected to many other ones, making up a web of complexity.
