What achievements have you made in helping others?
I have recently created a consumer resource directory for people looking for Green & Sustainable Socially Responsible Mortgage Brokers (http://www.BetterWorldMortgage.com) and one also for people looking for Green, Sustainable and Socially Responsible Realtors (http://www.BetterWorldRealEstateAgents.com).
I am also a member of a company that produces green, vegan & organic foods, health care, nutritional and lifestyle products - and as part of our commitment to being socially responsible, we volunteer as a corporate group to help make a difference on important social issues (http://www.myforevergreen.org/579595/Kindness/DistStand.html).
And - we can all do more! :-)
What do you consider to be important traits in helping others?
Compassion, Kindness, Forgiveness, Positive Attitude, Caring, Happy, Open, Sharing, Non-Judgment, Allowing, Peaceful Mind, Love, and a Spiritual Orientation. In my experience, one need not have all of these, but a combination of these traits seems always to be present. Namaste! Jonathan
What do you consider to be today's greatest issue that is in need of attention?
(1) Slowing global population, (2) negotiating & conflict resolutions between fanatic Christians, fanatic Muslims and fanatic Jews; (3) creating a true sense of Global community to the understanding that we are all one and are all interconnected and inter-reliant, (4) saving biospheres - habitats and species; (5) moving off fossil fuels and onto Solar, Wind and Hydrogen fuel systems as fast as humanly possible; (6) Bringing Humanity into Sustainability; (7) Moving off Uber Capitalism & Consumerism to Capitalism 3.0; (8) Embracing human potential fully and working for social, political and economic justice world wide.
Would you like to contribute a possible solution to this issue? If yes, please explain.
Yes - I've got hundreds of ideas. What do you want to focus on? How can I help?
