Mother: Caring for 7 Billion Page #7

poor and rich...

North and South.

I think the planet forces us

to define

new solidarity projects,

for the first time maybe

in our history.

Over population is a symptom

of domination systems

and if we want to change that...

we've got to change the system.

What is really the

kind of world

we want for our children?

It's about an education

that no longer idealizes

the kings and the queens

and the rulers

but that tells a story of

modern times

in terms of one challenge

after another.

One social movement

after another

challenging entrenched traditions

of domination.

All of these social movements,

including

the environmental movement,

are really what challenges man's

once hallowed conquest of nature.

So part of our job...

is to change the stories.

The story of our history

for the last 10,000 years

has been a story of domination.

But with women,

who have been nurturing...

all these years,

that are now stepping into these

new roles of public leadership,

all over the world...

we can create this

tidal wave of change

that's not only going

to ease

our population problem

but it's going to bring about

these policies

that will sustain a new attitude

towards our planet.

It's just us,

it's one human family...

and that we're connected

in our challenges...

but we're connected

in our solutions.
