The Distance Project: Observing the Ecology of Change .

Start with a premise: the world we know is changing. Like it or not change is rippling through every facet of life. From energy production issues, to rising populations, to massive changes in global trade, what we have come to understand as the “Systems of the World” are shifting.

A new age is rising around us.

This is a hard concept to grasp. Many of us have grown up comfortably under the old rules. It is a scary thing to watch that crumble. Yet there are some who see only opportunity in the shift. They are looking forward to the new world.

But what exactly is the framework for this new world? What are the rules? Where there already examples of people, companies, governments exploiting the new realities?

These are the distances we need to cross.

We need transition strategies that work. Broad-based, solution-oriented, nonpartisan and progressive – hopefully the Distance Project is a way to find them, a way to participate – actively and persistently – in this ecology of change.

The distances are real. So is the potential, greater than ever before, to overcome them.

Let’s get started.
