BetterSolutionsNOW!

Human life is constantly filled with needs and wishes. They change over time and so do the sets of solutions we find. Many solutions create new needs and wishes and remind us of other needs and wishes.

In general we need to work from the ambition of BetterSolutionsNOW! Sustainable development is a concept borrowed from biology, but part of nature we call Law of the Jungle. One of the main reasons behind the Gro Harlem Brundtland’s promotion of sustainable development is, that the national states are unable to create change and transformation with the speed and scope the human race needs right now. We need the destructive force of private enterprise to do that. This does not mean sustainable development is without an ethical dimension. Ethics is always about a fight between one good thing and other good things. The good things are needed and wished for by someone. Many of them are left out in the decision making processes that lead to the set of solutions that change their lives.

BetterSolutionsNOW! will demand all of us to learn this approach to change:

• everyone need to recognize they have a shared responsiblity for finding and using solutions that takes good care of limited resources and harm other people as little as possible
• everyone need to recognize they live in symbiotic (mutual beneficial) partnerships with the rest of humanity
• everyone need to recognize they have to engage in dialogues with their symbiotic partners in order to find sustainable set of useful solutions
• everyone need to know how to create  and engage in the necessary dialogue with their symbiotic partners

This can only be done by individuals and organizations that know how to handle diversity and know how to be flexible.
