Before we get Green we Need to get Stable

Days of reading about sovereign debt crises, and the near apocalyptic impact that a Greek default will have on the global markets, leaves you in a sombre mood.

As we look forward to sustainability as a nice "Green" necessity there is a crying urge to create stability in financial markets. This needs to be focused on longevity and a new future not a return to short term profiteering.

This again raises the question, what does the future look like? Policy and politics needs a rethink. Think long term. The future is beyond the next political cycle. It is beyond the next economic cycle, but creating a stable global economy for all. Forget poverty and wealth, lets look at social values. What matters to people.

For too long we have forgotten people. The power and strength of the individual.
