Most of us seem to know that human society is unsustainable. There many threats, which seem impossible to solve. (See for example, “The 12 Threats to Human Civilization, Ranked.”)
But "We" haven't started thinking yet! ...at least collectively
To solve society's BIGGEST problems "We" need to think together globally, creatively and collaboratively as “We the People”, face these problems, co-create win/win solutions and provide responsible leadership to our institutions and our people. This, by the way, is a new system of governance and economics where “We the People" are ultimately in charge. We call this new system "ToBe-ism".
Does this sound like over-the-top idealism? … It’s not. “The Wisdom Council Process” is proven to work. And it's accessible.. It's a holistic way we (a few of us) can (with enough resources) FACILITATE this into being. (See the handout )

"The ToBe Project"
See “The ToBe Project: How we can facilitate a global ‘We the People.” With enough resources we can set this in motion.
