Back to Better


I am an author and artist. I am not a full-time politician or government official. I have no easy-fix solutions... but wouldn't it be lovely if the 'economy' simply collapsed and became nonviable, so we were forced to find another way of coexisting based on mutual care and respect for each other and all aspects of our natural environment?

We created money, and the resulting economy was a way of helping society run smoothly. It was there to serve us, but now it seems we are its slaves, expected to make sacrifices that risk our lives and even 'life on Earth' in order to save the unsustainable 'economy'. This makes no sound sense.

One step away from such economic slavery would be to introduce a functional guaranteed basic income, as a first step in disassembling our money-driven economy and replacing it with a creative human-driven 'green' economy. As the nations of the world consider global recovery, we all need to re-think our priorities. Now would seem an ideal time to 're-boot' and do this.

Environmental recovery is essential.

Never 'Back to Normal' 
Only 'Back to Better' is acceptable 


#BackToBetter 
to build a future for all life on Earth
