Bill Twist said there is something very interesting going on in Ecuador that is a forecast of what is going in the world. A potential reformation of the constitution based on values is the basis for change. The kind of dialogue that is going on in the country is consistent with the elements of the symposium…creating a system for sustainable and socially just reform.
The country is a blank slate for creating a model for economic abundance led by people in power as a model of what can happen for other countries in the future. In Ecuador, indigenous peoples have become more empowered, leaders of an oil rich country are now looking to leave the oil in the bed of the forest, and there is currently no national currency. It is ripe to create a new model starting with a constitution that addresses getting the corporations involved in the rewriting of the constitution so they are responsible to socially just and sustainable values.
There are 3 initiatives supported by Pachamama in Ecuador:
1) Creating legal rights for the environment.
2) Changing the currency system…exploring alternative models.
3) Limiting legal rights for non natural persons (corporations).
Wow! Amazing! What do you think?
