“Activism has a long and arguably successful history of focusing on particular problems. Indeed, many fights have been won by focusing on single issues – the history of human rights struggles as well as that of the environmental movement is full of these wins. And even today, a case can be made for focusing on single issues, for example the gay rights movement has had tremendous successes in recent years.
But given the systemic and complex nature of today’s problems, issue- by-issue responses are often inadequate. One consequence of focusing on single issues is that we tend to fix symptoms rather than tackle root causes. Another is that we focus on developing great expertise on issues rather than deepening our understanding of the
systemic connections between issues.
It is often directly the institutional donors or the organisational fundraising departments pushing to focus on narrow short-term issue oriented outputs rather than engaging with
the complex long-term big picture.
To what extent are you focusing on problems and single issues rather than tackling root causes?
What role are your donors and fundraisers playing in this?”
“For some, the vision of such a transition seems utopian and it might well be. Nobody knows if the Great Transition can be achieved, but it is the only possibility we have to truly create a peaceful, just and sustainable world.”

English below. 小さい頃は裏山で遊ぼうなんて当たり前で田園風景ばかりだったけど。かつての裏山は新興住宅地になって、秘密基地はどうなったんだろう。 今のウェリントンの家は歩いて20分で山遊びができて、こんなに綺麗な滝が見られるし、これは、彼らにとっては犬の散歩道。熊もいないし、そしてここは首都だってことに東京やニューヨークじゃ考えられない。衣食住すべて良いところはオールミックスした都市開発やらせてくれないかい?安倍さん。 でも、とにかく日本食は恋しい、そんな今日は祝日です。 You know when we were a child playing a hill behind of my house such conduct quite usual for everyone live in pastoral landscape. erstwhile that hill or mountains were to be instead of new residential area. where is our favorite secret base. Now i can enjoy mountaineer from my house to 20 min walk and the waterfall where the road for them is favorite dog walking trail. there is no grizzly bear and here is the the capital. could i handle urban and rural development that all mix up take in good part for living life prime ministers? Anyway Japanese food is the best in this world🌾😂 (Wellington, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/BthICYLHMo8/?igshid=sosliib2lnaz
Japanese Below. One of my list has done on this weekend. it was amazing experience in my new life. I came here for a while was stressful in a new environment. but i decided backpack travel to go by myself as well as 10 years ago it noticed again good travel that it is not a place that it is by the people. Everything is karma what you’ve done is what you want. and i got a lots of new learning in garden international session about sustainability,earth warming,the wall and brain... From now on rethink it for next generation that all the things even a people should back in the place to be. Anyway thanks for this opportunity especially hiking mates! Luckily girl and wise man! いい旅は場所じゃない、人だ。 久しぶりの海外生活とニュージーランドの英語訛りが呪文みたいに聞こえてものすごいストレスだったけど、山に行って釣りしたらとてもスッキリしました。 和をもって尊しとなす。そんなゲストハウスでの青空教室がとても刺激的で考え直すことばかり。 明日からまた月曜日、残りの期間、自分にできることをしっかりと。 🇩🇰🇩🇪🇩🇪🇫🇷🇳🇿🇯🇵 (Tongariro Alpine Crossing) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtbSI-BHNAl/?igshid=18tbhkw0g0prn
