Comments on: When governments meet in Copenhagen, where will the grown-ups be? http://www.conversationsforabetterworld.com/2009/11/womenclimate/ A shared Blog on Population, Gender and Health Sat, 24 Jul 2010 19:03:27 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: rumbleth http://www.conversationsforabetterworld.com/2009/11/womenclimate/comment-page-1/#comment-984 rumbleth Mon, 09 Nov 2009 16:31:31 +0000 http://www.conversationsforabetterworld.com/?p=1216#comment-984 Great post Alex, I whole heartedly agree that individuals, and small groups can indeed make a great impact. As Margaret Mead said: A small group of thoughtful people could change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has. Similarly are treatment of women in different parts of the world is symptomatic of how we treat our environment. I have spent quite a lot of time reflecting in the past few months on how to inspire individuals and communities of all sizes to act in the interest of the populous rather than individual needs and wants. I am curious to know if anyone has examples of communities where they are truly aligned in the interest of the common future, how/why it has been so successful?
