Edición en Inglés
To create a sustainable future, we must first envision it.
Are you worried about the future (things like climate change, plastics, and Wall Street's relentless demand for growth) but don't know what to do? Do you wish you had a stronger community and a clearer sense of what you can do to address the world's pressing problems?Read this compelling father-daughter story to discover what you and your community can do to create a more sustainable, just and resilient future. Dragonfly's Question is an antidote to gloom, doom and despair.
Tess hasn't talked to her money-focused father in years, so she is horrified when he tells her he already has his flights to visit her in Portland, Oregon, what he has pejoratively referred to as Ecotopia. The visit changes both their life paths as they discover how they can make a bigger difference in the world.
Dragonfly's Question is an entertaining crash course in sustainability, resilience and restorative practices, packaged as a sweet father-daughter story set several years in the future. Woven throughout the story are powerful practices like local currencies, green streets, tool lending libraries, green banks and sustainable investing. The book includes a discussion guide and a glossary of over 50 innovations, most of which are drawn from real world examples and a few from the author's imagination. The story enables readers to witness how these practices can be woven together to create a stronger community and fund emerging solutions.
If you, like Tess and her father, want to find your calling, Dragonfly's Question should inspire you to action.
This is a release of the 2008 edition with a new sequel.
