<div dir="ltr" style="font-family:Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;">I found myself thinking: These days, there is a whole "industry" of social change -- movements, counter movements, initiatives, approaches, studies, projections, global and local -- and a flowing stream of media, websites, articles and books on change and transformation and lessons learned.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-family:Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;">At the same time, we seem caught up in a kind of "trench warfare" -- heroic efforts, small gains, dire/hopeful and hopeful/dire reports and predictions in the midst of what often seems to be slow progress.</div>

<div dir="ltr" style="font-family:Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;">This question came up for me again, in May of this year, studying CHOOSING EARTH with a number of you. The author talks about a coming "Great Transition" as we move through the multiple challenges we face using the term "lift" to describe what is needed. Hence (again) the question: <span><b style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:verdana, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:medium;text-align:center;white-space:pre-line;">What will it take . . .</b></span> </div>

<div dir="ltr" style="font-family:Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;">1. First, of course, and simplest, is make your own list of answers and share them. Brainstorm 15-18 answers to the question on a piece of paper or on a note in your favorite device. I am most interested in your intuitions, based on your life experience, of what it will take. Pick the 8-10 from the list that you think are your best answers and send them to me in an email or <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" shape="rect" class="yiv3421192261ydp1d87bdb2enhancr_card_4102544268" target="_blank" href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/F8YQCMM">use this link</a> to share your answers.</div>
