‘What can I do? I am just one person’, said 7 billion* people. (Kelly Piquet)

*Now 8 billion – details

We are not, for once, the idea of a committee or a think-tank or an international organisation. Greeneralia began from one person’s observation that there seem to be a plethora of groups involved in preventing global catastrophe without apparently getting anywhere very far or very fast. COP succeeds COP, but the pace of change is glacial.

Are you living in an ‘I’ world or a ‘We’ world?

 On your answer may depend the very survival of human beings and our environment in this 21st century.

Greeneralia believes that each and every person on this planet needs to be engaged. We are not only dependent on each other, but on every other Animal, Plant, Fungi, Protista, Eubacteria and Archaebacteria:

Only connect! That was the whole of her sermon.
Only connect the prose and the passion, and both will be exalted,
And human love will be seen at its height.
Live in fragments no longer.
Only connect…”

–E.M. Forster, Howards End
