Participant or Observer - what are you?
When I think about the role we (humans) have on this planet, I notice we have two kinds of people. Participants and Observers. There are probably many more than this, but for the sake of this discussion, I'll keep it a short list.
Participants, are actors who are involved in forming, shaping, managing, and affecting our world. In contrast, Observers, are the actors who do not form, shape, manage, or otherwise affect our world (with exception to consuming from it).
It seems there are many more observers than participants, and I want to encourage a shift in this ballance. I'm doing something by writing and moderating this blog and encouraging others to read, think and act. I work in an environmentally responsible "green" company, and encourage considerate thought in my children, friends, family and readers.
What are you doing to be a participant in your world?
