The world is gripped in the embrace of multiple crisis including those of climate, energy, food, water, finance and economy. These are all intensified by the reign of speculation on a path of on ending growth based on the unspoken supposition that planetary space resources are elastic and inexhaustible. This vision of the world is built on the premise of profit before people and on the creed that nature must be commodified in order to have value and stand a chance of being protected and defended. There is an urgent call for actions in line with the realisation that planet earth is populated by interdependent beings and cycles. Massive contamination has already hit the environment. It is time for a global rejection of current energy consumption where environmental costs and social liabilities are externalised and rather invest in and build the eco-logic model where ecology, sovereignty and good living define relationships of production and consumption. We need to rebuild our collective environmental and social consciousness, moving away from a system that destroys society and nature through the destruction of knowledge and positive productive forces. We need a system with conscience. After decades of inaction to address the pains of the people, leaders now have to be led by the people. Governance structures require reinventing. Individuals and groups not only have the right to an adequate environment but also the duty to protect and improve the environment. This responsibility is not only towards other individuals or the community in which they live but towards mankind as a whole and even future generations
