Where can we go?

Where do we want to go?

“How will it affect the land, water, air, animals, birds, plants and the future for our children

seven generations into the future?

Seven generations principleTo live by this principle, one would ask,

prior to any undertaking:

Using this principle, and mobilizing our knowledges , do we …

… convert more streets …

… into walk & bike lanes?

More parking lots …

… into playgrounds …

… and sports fields?

Children prefer that, too. [MDI data]

And they would maybe sleep better.

Turn more back lanes …

… into community gardens?

Provide clean (lead-free) water and…

… local pesticide–free organic food?

Label plastics and chemicals …

… and % DV (daily value) for sugar …

120%

… and introduce …

… a sugar tax…

… to possibly reduce fetal sugar spectrum disorder

(Davis, 2010)?

Because ‘it doesn’t have to be the way it is’
