ad There are 4 future history endings to the 21st C. As my daughter is 9 year old: I find the
first three of these compound futures utterly unacceptable and invite you to mail me at
info@worldcitizen.tv if you do too: Dinosaur: means the whole human species will be as dead as the dodo. Tell us who's "death
of birth" story interests you most. I'm a fan of Chairman Ray Anderson, and
this video. In it, he explains not only how all corporations -as key systems in productive and demanding networks
of human relationships - can help humanity prevent the "dinosaur ending" but also how those corporations who
value human life will compound the most profits too. It's a myth that sustainability business investments don't do well by
doing good. But what is required is consistent investment through time as all entreprenurial
and economic systems are intended be, not exercises in how much can you reap or rape from the world every last quarter. All
the true economists have mapped how healthy societies beget strong economies, NOT vice versa. Shark: means that there will be a world of less than a billion people, most enslaved to the greediest
and nastiest men. It is not for nothing that the Spectre villains in James Bond films kept pet sharks. Sharks sense how to
make a human or financial killing at many miles - they literally are the best at smelling blood as well as having blood-thirsty
greeds. I am by no means claiming that most large organisational boardrooms are populated by sharks. But as a mathematician and investigator of Unseen Wealth research I am weary of hearing over 20 years of protests that we
are ignorant of the system law : if leadership only optimises how much money speculators take
out from the last quarter's spreadsheet, the organisation's purpose will be full of holes than
a pantomime dame's leaking bucket. Worse over time what you exclude from governing a system is what you compound the destruction
of. That's why any boardroom who does not want to see its business case transparently audited for sustainability henceforth
swims with the sharks or is blinded by butterflies. Butterflies tell
the wrong stories about system or network models of how to map the whole before getting boxed into parts. Butterflies making system
patterns sound complex or chaotic beyond human wit. Inconveniently, this gives the manager the perfect excuse to say
that sytsem transformation cannot be succesful. Their end consequence is also likely to end with less than a million
beings living, but this time survivors wll all be back in the cave age. As the world gets more interconnected,
what we need to map is exactly how do get interconnected in each other's most vital compound risks or joys. We do
need to prevent the next HIV from spreading virally beyond early cases especially if it is transmitted by contagious
birds. Grassroots in frastructures needed little more than a primitive mobile telephone network around Tsunami
coastlines to prevent deaths of thos who were 5 hours away from the wave even if those nearest the wave's origin could not
have ben alerted. We need to reduce online degrees of separation to zero when the information to be passed through us humans
is life critical in its flows. Conversely, there are many types of active learning that multiply value in use instead of gettin
g consumed up the way in dustrial things always were. The two great untruths told by the butterfly brigade: 1) that there is one primary way of thinking or doing systems- by definition systemic approaches interface and
integrate around molecular subsystems; one simple consequence of this organsiationally is a lot more interdisciplinary flows
are needed for the service economy organsiational
system to wholly empower trust and other entrepreneurial energies 2) that my life -or yours -
will be impacted on the other side of the world by a butterfly flapping its wing. This ludicrous insult to logic should not
however lead anyone to believe that we can lose all the world's rainforests and expect climate equilibrium to be sustained. Lion-Child - and I would delight in hearing of other identifications, since this is the truly important story of
the four and merits every type of cross-cultural rendering you
all can imagine - is about the collaboration characters we will need to flourish if 6+ billion humans are to
thrive. Quite a simple thing to achieve if we are as truly curious as a child, as courageous as a lioness in protecting her
young, and cherish the pride in community wellbeing as much as lions do. Ideas for 24 Goals for the 24 Days PowWow on will humanity invest in Sustainability in Time

gos of the year: 1 A network I am connected to in London has invested about 100000$ to take
discussions to a million people through a mix of virtula and idealist meetings modes. This will start at the end of next month.
We do hope that the top 5 issues we organise the debate round are both the most vital and the most empowering in the sense
of being one that only grassroots communities up can resolve. If anyone feels we have got
the wrong 5 or feels we may have the right 5 but believes they can see how to start up the conversation in different ways
than my style etc - we'd love to hear from you, or encourage you to just do it. chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk these come from knowing the deepest roots of your place; so if the deepest innovation to the world,
Bangladesh could make was banks for the poor, I'd love to debate with you what's your cities deepest change world knowhow
info@worldcitizen.tv - eg in London's
case possibilities include: what's best for world concept a public (world service) broadcaster could be; what relationship
permissions can (the largest) kindgom networked to a commonwealth ethically empower? ; Passports to Sustainability: given that Stern and Branson have advanced a 20 billion dollar
kitty for helping the world remedy climate crisis, how does London connect as the number 1 collaboration knowledge city on climate
crisis? There are reasons why we
intend to keep London number 1 flow space on climate crisis up to the olympics of 2012. These include closing the British
Broadcasting Corporation if it has not stepped up to the plate of sustainability debates by 2012 Mapping
the 5 new worlds of world citizens, taxpayers and wishmakers! Regarding the worldwide Climate
Crisis : Sir Nicholas Stern, supported by Her Majesty’s government and treasury has been famously reported as saying that
it is time to want a 1% tax on everything if we are committed to save 20% of economies. Our
invitation to a million people debate across cities, hemispheres and villages seeks to extend Sir Nicholas’s compass
to four other change worlds being debated by citizens around the world: *2*Why not invest 1%
to save the world’s poorest women from slave labour, prostitution, ill health and lack of just access to resources *3*Why not invest 1% to save the world’s poorest children
from death, malnutrition and lack of the rights to water, food, safety and education needed for a lifetime exponential to
blossom *4*Why not invest 1%
to celebrate in enjoying each other’s cultural co-creativity as well as a more enlightened tourism and innovative future
histories : to be the change abroad, instead of the yob; to support humanity deepest heroes not just fashionable beauties
or those who play a sporting game’s rules best *5*Why not invest 1%
so that the ever increasing connectedness of network technology turns out to develop better worlds for all our new generations,
rather than ones where people are ever more afraid of terror, plagues or other waves whose potential risks know no boundary 2 Convenient Truth: Wherever trust-flows, the futures which humanity wants most do not need to be taxing! If we can
simply see how to unite around goodwill wishes that resonate with world citizens, a tax quickly transforms into an investment
capable of sustaining freedom and happiness, as well as value multiplying economics. For example,
one of the above might quickly be saved by 1% off nations’ budgets allocated to defence. Four other wasted spends that
can be reduced by up to 10% of nations’ spends come from: *lowering healthcare costs; *reducing spends on the
dole or other social costs where previously a large of children have been brought up with no access to being productive; how many of the above 5 compasses matter to you? do you believe they will be resolved in time unless world citizens unite? if
you agree world citizens need to empower these change worlds, what maps and other tools do we need to interconnect around
to turn wish into fulfilment, and words into replicable project actions? Regarding the book of up200.tv

How are World Citizen Travel Guides Born? 2.0
We aim to microfinance, seed and open source one worldwide travel guide per crisis area as a starter from which local networks
can pick and choose what they like worldwide and what connecting local guides they trust most. A local world citizen network
might produce virtual guides (eg a pdf) or leaflets or publish its own collection 2.1
Our guides are distributed free through places world citizen networks meet – for example intercity hubs or spaces where
youth are creating new learning. For example, the basic interview questions that are popular with world changers are childsplay: What was your life changing moment? What’s the wish you want communities to help you make true? Specifically what help do you most need in the next year? 2.2 Before our children or other journalists reach out for a particular star interviewee,
we discuss and summarise why we love a particular world citizen hero. As we focus on these characters, we play jigsaw games-
how could a cluster of characters connect their networks on issues we value – eg empowerment of children. We ask for
nominations on 200 potential star interviewees at http://up200.tv and http://universityofstars.tv 2.3 Our guides carry free action ads. Footnoted are a
few ad examples that are being pilot tested brac.tv If 11 year children from every nation were invited to convene an open space on their most
urgent concerns for the world, what would be their most urgent questions to the world -note parallel conversations for other

007
mails: January I am very excited about the idea of learning games which can change the world. Hitherto, I have primarily
been interested in the roundtable games that small or large community meetings can play (in the case of large meetings eg
500 people you just increase the tables and have discussion periods across all tables). Cataloguing what are the 10 most vital
meeting formats for world citizen networks being a key are of 007 research at http://worldcitizen.tv
and our WorldEconomist affiliate nets -eg join an African motivated catalogue
connecting the year's most impactful grassroots rising events at http://www.omidyar.net/group/economics/news/27/ One
of the serious social designers in the learning board-game arena is designed in London by democs team at New Economics Forum,
and can be downloaded in 5 topic areas at http://www.playdecide.org I also believe
that fantasy game models can likely turn wishes into reality - surely a no brainer for the Yunus
wish to see a social business enterprise stockmarket born http://futurestocks.tv It's
great that you are helping to take us beyond this to the video game arena which is so vast that I would love to be guided
to a few more examples of the deepest social video games ou there. By wonderful coincidence your mention of http://secondlife.com/
is the 2nd time I've been told about this new to me space in the last 24 hours; its also a prominent reference in the pre-briefing
stage of the World Economic Forum that is convened in Davos this week We want to learn more about games; so this will
be one of the first tasks of a newly created web http://changemakers.info the
idea being to follow up some projects that appear at changemakers.net but which seem to open doors beyond one competition
theme to whole new worlds of exploration. Give me some time to try and mock up some stuff at .info ; meanwhile if other
project hosts believe their project involves whole new interaction waves, I would particularly like to hear from them at info@worldcitizen.tv please tell us your citizens greatest events ahead
of time so we can map with you who you most want to interconnect PASSPORTS
TO SUSTAINABILITY This is a 5-year world series of collaboration citizen meetings, volunteer connected by http://worldcitizen.tv , http://passports.jp and open
affiliates We seek to share every great question, or grassroots up experiment on climate crisis and its connections
with clean flows such as water, energy, food, air, health Your citizens event can register to be co-branded as one of
the series. There are no mutual charges either way. However, those cities or network leaders who have already registered their
event have a right of veto simply to ensure that there is no chnace of a meeting in the series accidentally representing old
vested interests. We search to map truth information on the wholly new 1% of economies' compass that Sir
Nicholas Stern estimates will be needed to save 20% of the world economy or people. Passports will kick off in London
in Spring 2007 with some spectacular events that include a 24 day virtual hotline debate and the greenest building ever built
- on the South Bank currently going up on the terrace of the Queen Elizabeth Concert Hall.
If you want more details or to connect events, look at our webs or email info@worldcitizen.tv Passports
will end in London in the Spring of London's Olympics year 2012, by which time we all hope to celebrate the peoples
heroes of climate crisis being as well known as the most famous sports stars. Londoners have already been asked by other world
citizen networks: will the BBC come out and investigate the climate crisis? This is an example of a collaboration question
we need help with continuously asking until aunty listens to the people who fund her. Best

peoples sides. Others may know that 2005's make poverty history and africa commissions were taken over this summer by Africa
