Life, Money and Illusion

Today's speaker was Mike Nickerson who presented some of his ideas contained in his new book, Life, Money and Illusion.

His premise is that the Human Species has now filled its habitat; that our forests, fossil fuels and environment are currently stretched to the limit. Mike stated that he believed that Life is not hard to maintain and that we should be able to live on earth as long as the sun is a viable star.

We must gain satisfaction in our lives so that our need to draw on material things is reduced. We must deal with our materialism and begin to manage our use of materials in cycles again. He posed the question, how do we make this change happen? It is time for us to take on this responsibility. 

Mike discussed how he felt that we must integrate a new value system, one that allows us to live lightly and manage our material world in order to respect our children and grandchildren.

A great transformation must take place soon. Live lightly, enjoy life and manage our resources.
