We have a choice -- It is wise to have a beginner's mind -- Everything is defined by relationships -- All relationships have consequences -- Composition, structure, and function are intertwined -- Context affects relationships -- We see the world through our own lens -- Sustainability and change are continuous processes -- Cumulative effects, lag periods, and thresholds are key -- All change is to some extent irreversible -- We live in the invisible present -- Our actions have consequences -- Consider the long-term consequences first -- There's always a trade-off -- Reinvest in systems as if they're big business -- Our "house" is a global commons -- The world is a living trust -- Self-reinforcement : the secret of stable systems -- Sustainability : it's about effectiveness, not efficiency -- "Simple" doesn't always equal "better" -- Democracy nurtures sustainability -- We always have choices -- We become what we oppose when we react instead of responding -- Acceptance is the key -- A wise response depends on reflection -- You can always start today -- Shared vision is a necessity -- Epilogue. Teaching kids to change the world--from vision to reality.
