I see now that you were not trying to use your observations as justifications to do things against the will of other peaceful people. I made some big edits above and put notes in what and modified. There first part of your post had declarations that suggested that you understood factual information about what a problem is and that something needed to change (I still see it that way), but you seemed to address that need to change without trying to force things on other people... so that is cool with me. I generally see factual claims about sources of a social problem as a precursor for acting against other people (including environmental regulation), but it does not apply to this post, so I was hasty in my original post.

I did leave a note about the "sustainable change is critical" statement. I was referring to the distinction between (a) a subjective preference for a certain kind of sustainability and (b) a declaration that it is some kind of fact that compels others to do things. You seemed to be making a statement that it is an objective fact that sustainability is critical, but you do NOT seem to try to force that idea on others.

I think overall, you are applying your insights to a personal ethic, which exactly is the kind of solution that I would try to pursue in any conflict.

thx for you patience
