RESOURCES "This we know: all things are connected like the blood which unites one family. All things are connected. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth. Man did not weave the web of life. He is merely a strand of it. Whatever he does to the web he does to himself." Chief Seattle DOCUMENTARIES SITES Dan Barlett. Dan's "writings primarily deal with individual and global problems, they follow a logical diagnosis. First of all, we can look at what is happening, and then the reasons for it happening. We then move on to how this is happening, and finally what can we do to stop it happening. Most attempts to correct the worlds problems fail because they immediately jump to the last question without any consideration of the first three. This results in an attempt to "correct" symptoms, instead of an informed attempt to understand causes." Culture Change.
