"In a culture of the 'runaway more,' richer, thinner, smarter, better, there is no way to be satisfied. We have lost the meaning of 'enough' - from businesses, societies and communities, to the dinner table. The 'more is better' mentality is becoming the nightmare that is killing the planet. We need a new relationship with 'enough.' In the culture of scarcity that is generated in our consumer culture, there is no moment of sufficiency. We have to help people reclaim that." -Lynne Twist Exquisite Safaris Philanthropic Travel has raised over 1 million dollars since 2008. 100% has been donated to high impact NGO's (non-government organizations) in destinations in the USA and around the world. `` Take a good hard look at you.. Stand up. Look around and then scale that down too. Stand up. Look around and then scale that down too. I believe in a revolution And I believe it is at hand I believe in its thick hands that strength daily on demand See I am blacksmith both of metal and words And a sheep that's pitch black too And in this life spun short in the span of things I believe there is a bit more we ought to think through Cause 500 years ago When these trees were more dense And the colors pristine so the chaos made sense There was no knowing of the loss of a whole mountain Of a mountain that I call home And these same hills rolled on and on Without mention of vanishing or with whom to belong And these same mountains echoed peace Long before the noose And now that too is nearly gone. So what have we done as a civilization To destroy in our own wake That very metaphorical hand that feeds us We are trashing our own birthday cake. And I consider myself a skeptic But an optimist in soul. And we are getting force fed And hauled along like the bull He's huge and rage-full Yet somehow subdued And hauled by those thick rings So don't you too get stuck outside The sticky nasty truth of things Get the heck out your car Walk its good for you Stop consuming blindly And get by on that that you do have to possess And then scale that too Take a hard look at you It starts there Everyone has a lot to say about everybody else But it's our transgression that always tends to melt Away and fade into that critique of who's fault who's blame who's wrong But each and everyone of us is doing something too hard too fast too long And there's none but ourselves to make this thing last. Yes there's none but ourselves to make this thing last. So it starts there Take a long hard look at you. Stand up look around and then scale that down too It starts there Take a long hard look at you. Stand up look around and then scale that down too. -Leah & Chloe -Rising Appalachia `` Understanding Philanthropic Journeys Transform Responsible Green Understand Philanthropic FAQ Journal Engage Team Make an appointment with an expert.
