Nature and the highest part of our own human nature need to breathe. How do we take greater consideration in our \u201cglobal economies\u201d for our future?\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0Learning to better listen to, not only, our own voices within, but also the rising \u201ccollective consciousness\u201d is a task for us all.\u00a0 To live in consideration of the bigger picture that we are interconnected, and each of our choices matter, as everything changes.<\/p>\n<p>World Team Now has focused on demonstrating solutions, but we have been a small handful of people that planted the seeds around the world: a possible \u201cvision\u201d for the future that might have more in balance with nature.\u00a0 Our <a href=\"https:\/\/worldteamnow.org\/blog\/technology-services\/ev-adoption\/ev-evinfra\/\">public electric vehicle chargers in California<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/worldteamnow.org\/blog\/technology-services\/policy\/#netmeter\">solar net meters in New York<\/a>, were a small start.

We propose to rise even above what we \u201cown\u201d whether that be a possession, our own creed, which has carried us through this life journey.\u00a0 We are being asked to remember or envision what indeed is the inspiration for a deep breath.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-11875\" src=\"https:\/\/worldteamnow.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_2338-2-300x205.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/worldteamnow.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_2338-2-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/worldteamnow.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_2338-2-676x462.jpg 676w, https:\/\/worldteamnow.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_2338-2-24x16.jpg 24w, https:\/\/worldteamnow.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_2338-2-36x25.jpg 36w, https:\/\/worldteamnow.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_2338-2-48x33.jpg 48w, https:\/\/worldteamnow.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_2338-2.jpg 758w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>World Team Now\u2019s stand is to demonstrate <a href=\"https:\/\/worldteamnow.org\/blog\/2018\/07\/26\/our-mangrove-day\/\">solutions that are nature-based<\/a>, and we are quite enthusiastic about what has grown during this public health pandemic in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/worldteamnow.org\/blog\/2020\/04\/16\/home-in-a-dolphins-breath\/\">relation to what we have organic encounters with<\/a> now; the Ocean (an educational curriculum emerged) and more campaigns on the blue, the green and the biodiversity in between with dolphins; turtles, mangroves, and islands.
