“We cannot change the significant problems we face in the world today with the same level of thinking that created them.” –Albert Einstein

Your Think-Tank In Action: a revolution in thought

Our generation has inherited a timely responsibility to turn the tide of AIDS, abject Poverty, and the rapid threat of Climate Change – and we must do so fast enough to assure a secure future for our children.

While myriad efforts are made to address single issues and their symptoms, who is looking at the big picture and addressing root causes?

While the stakes can’t get much higher, humanity seems stuck in an economic and social pattern based in the past 5000 years of conquest and tribalism, when migration to virgin lands seemed an endless possibility. However our physical reality has changed dramatically. Just since 1965, our population has doubled from 3.2 billion to 6.5+. Surviving and thriving through this demographic shift calls for conscious, collective action transcending politics, religion, or any other isms that divide us from achieving human security.

This is where the larger vision of EW- as a Think Tank-In-Action (committed to LEARNING WHILE DOING) comes into play. While ACTIVELY applying our knowledge to affect positive change now through innovative social and environmental security initiatives, we continue to assess global economic policies, human nature, what works, what doesn't - and why. Remaining focused on the big picture; through and beyond our Partners In Empowerment, EW expands global strategies that work into public policies and global action to benefit all earth’s species.

By modeling sustainable systems and new forms of partnership, EW goes beyond the status quo of fighting single issues and dedicates itself to shifting the entire global system from a power over, linear thinking paradigm (which is destroying us) to that of mutually supportive empowerment.

This may seem like an overwhelming task for some, but it calls upon many, and needs to be done sooner or later, so it might as well be now, and it might as well be us.

Together we can.
