13:28:09 From  Michèle Pasture (freelance)  to  Everyone : Hi everyone. 
Michèle (Bruxelles)

13:40:03 From  Ted Manning  to  Everyone : Please post your questions here.

13:40:03 From  Michèle Pasture (freelance)  to  Everyone : evening in Belgium

14:01:51 From  Michèle Pasture (freelance)  to  Everyone : Wood tension already occuring.  Price are getting high.

14:06:10 From  Ted Manning  to  Everyone : Upcoming conference on organics next week in Brussels called Soil 
Protection and Building Up Organic Matter (Humus) and European section of Club of Rome is involved.

14:13:01 From  Michèle Pasture (freelance)  to  Everyone : Brussels also 30 km / h limit. YES.

14:13:40 From  John Meyer  to  Everyone : I have a general observation and question on Norman Alcock and progress.

14:15:11 From  Thorhaug Anitra  to  Everyone : I have a question about his views, which I would appreciate being 
called on to ask Derek. 

14:15:18 From  Dave Dougherty  to  Everyone : I have a question about universal basic income, employment, and 
automation.

14:15:57 From  Adele Buckley  to  Everyone : If we need government-owned banks, could the mandate of the Bank of 
Canada be expanded?

14:19:56 From  Rick Carpenter  to  Everyone : Much of what you have covered in such clear and persuasive style 
Derek was missing from the education of our contemporaries.  How do we get these ideas into the schools of our 
succeeding generations?

14:21:18 From  Julia Morton-Marr  to  Everyone : Rick, I agree.

14:22:23 From  Christine  to  Everyone : Thank you so much for allowing me to join in this.

14:22:48 From  Ted Manning  to  Everyone : How do we convince the majority that they really want to change,
particularly regarding material consumption?

14:23:07 From  Sorpong  to  Everyone : Very interesting. How do we know for sure that this vision for a better 
world would be one as expected? Does this require the creation of world government? The questions have much to 
do with collective-action problems.

14:27:18 From  Joy Kennedy  to  Everyone : Perceptions matter. Recent polling indicates that about 70% of Canadians 
want and believe Canada is doing a good job on climate policies and actions, but we have never yet made our targets 
in reducing emissions. Communications matter to correct misunderstandings.

14:27:53 From  Joy Kennedy  to  Everyone : So we need accountability.

14:31:02 From  Julia Morton-Marr  to  Everyone : Why are you all using trees writing books?

14:32:16 From  Julia Morton-Marr  to  Everyone : We need 'Positive News" media.

14:32:34 From  Dave Dougherty  to  Everyone : I have a question about limitation of advertizing (as with ads to 
kids and ads for cigarettes).

14:33:09 From  Julia Morton-Marr  to  Everyone : Derek's book is now digital and it is beautiful.

14:33:28 From  Julia Morton-Marr  to  Everyone : I agree, Dave.

14:34:30 From  Steve Kurtz  to  Everyone : Ted asks about convincing the majority about change, which I take means 
reduction. The vast majority (6.5 B out of 7.8) on earth are in Asia, Africa, and the Latin-Caribbean. Most are 
consuming at a far lower level than Europeans, N. Americans, and UK/AU/NZ.  Thus the majority aren't overconsuming 
on average, and they're striving to increase their throughput. 
 
14:36:19 From  Dave Dougherty  to  Everyone : On books, mine is an e-book.  Never even printed a draft.

14:38:18 From  Julia Morton-Marr  to  Everyone : Good Dave, what is the name of your book?

14:41:48 From  Pat Canavan  to  Everyone : Has anyone seen the latest David Attenborough doc called the Year the Earth 
Changed. It was about the recovery of the environment when humans remained at home. It is an astonishing practical 
example of what is required for us to be balanced with the planet.

14:45:15 From  Julia Morton-Marr  to  Everyone : Another film is 'Seaspiracy.'

14:47:21 From  Julia Morton-Marr  to  Everyone : I think Singapore has been doing this for years.

14:54:20 From  John Meyer  to  Everyone : Definition of full employment: where everyone is working at a level which 
makes the most of their potential and at the intensity that allows them to achieve a very high level of life 
satisfaction.

15:07:02 From  Steve Kurtz  to  Everyone : I had no question! I answered Ted's question.

15:21:10 From  Dave Dougherty  to  Everyone : Julia asked about my book: The Odd One: Reminiscences from the Great 
Disruption.

15:22:54 From  Dave Dougherty  to  Everyone : As Julia raised it, I highly recommend the movie Seaspiracy.  It is 
on Netlfix, perhaps other platforms.  Like anything it has critics, but it is quite enlightening.

15:39:49 From  Ted Manning  to  Everyone : Wonderful presentation and discussion.
