"There is another
super power here on earth. It is an unnamed movement, it is far
different and bigger and more unique than anything we have ever seen. It flies under the radar of the media, by and large. It is
nonviolent, it is grassroots, no armies and no
helicopters. It has no central ideology. A male vertebrate is not in
charge. This unnamed movement is the most
diverse movement the world has ever seen. The very word "movement" I
think is too small to describe it. No one started this world view, no
one is in charge of it, there is no orthodoxy. It is global, classless,
unquenchable and tireless. The shared understanding is arising
spontaneously from different economic sectors, cultures, regions and
cohorts. It is growing and spreading worldwide with no exception. It has
many roots but primarily the origins are indigenous culture, the
environment and social justice movements, those three sectors. The
subsectors are intertwining, morphing, enlarging. This is no longer or
simply about resources or tractions or injustice. This is fundamentally a
civil rights movement, a human rights movement, It is the coming world." - Paul Hawken
