As we engage this new year, this is a great video (3 minutes long) to watch and ask ourselves, what's changed in the past year. We've known what we know for decades, and these very companies were some of the first to sound the alarm. Now, what are we doing about it?

1029 #ClimateSolutions #CircularEconomy #HowTo

Our ‘grab-and-take’ economy HAS to change ! ‘We’ [the rich] can no longer afford to exploit the planet for our greed and luxuries. ‘We’ can no longer shove our problems over to somewhere else. ‘We’ are causing life threatening conditions on people that bear no responsibility for ‘our problems.
It has to be circular. What we make has to going back into the system [of life] not just thrown away, discarded.
Note: important links at the end of this ‘toot’ and in the description of the video.

On my journey to discovering how to make a difference, I found myself drawn to frameworks and methodologies like:

- #TheoryU
- #OpenSpaceTechnology #ost
- #LiberatingStructures
- #DevelopmentalModelOfInterculturalSensitivity #dmis

Yet when I search for these on #Mastodon, they don't show up as often as I expected in a self-professed progressive space that clamours for #SystemsChange.

Anyone with similar interests, do you have any insight into why this might be?

We’re living through a cadence of normalization. Our line between crisis and baseline shifts ever-faster. Let that be our cue to interrogate not just the headlines but the structural velocity beneath them.

After 13 yrs on Twitter, @bikemonterey stopped posting on that platform in Nov 2022.
We are also no longer posting on Meta platforms; we do have a @bikemonterey Instagram account, but it refers people to this Mastodon account.
Although we set up a @bikemonterey BlueSky acct, it likewise refers to this Mastodon acct.

When we did some updates today to Summer Bike Buzz https://bikemonterey.org/bike-buzz-summer-2025-news-from-bicycling-monterey.html, we pointed out what a chief information officer of a Monterey County transportation agency posted on Mastodon on July 6, 2025:
“Change isn’t easy. And transformational change requires perseverance and dedication. It doesn’t have to be fanatical. Honestly medium-level relentless will do.” https://mastodon.world/@NoRomBasic/114808599939418491

We talk of innovation as if it’s always about tech. But some of the boldest innovations today are social, ecological, and moral. Reimagining how we live, consume, and relate to nature—that’s the real frontier. #ClimateJustice #SystemsChange #Regen
