We can change the rules of the game, after-all that is all that law is, rules of the game of life. Instead of placing profit without consequence first we can put people and planet first. How can we do that, you ask? We create a new law that supersedes all other laws - we create an international law - a law that prohibits investment, policy and business that arises out of mass damage and destruction.

A New Cultural Literacy (version 2.3) We bring with us into the future many ideas from the past about how to build the world, how to relate with each other, how to think, how to create, how to share.

Snippet:
"Always on a quest for untapped sources of used books, Xavier soon made a discovery that changed the business model – and the environment – in a major way. Every year thousands of libraries had millions of excess books as they made room for new editions. Some books sat in storage, and others were given away. But some were simply thrown out. Tossed. Abandoned to the landfills for all eternity.
Convinced that something could be done to rescue these discarded books and help the planet a bit in the process, the founders set about partnering with librarians all across the country. Not only could they rescue books from landfills, they could also sell those books and raise money for the libraries themselves. Environmental and social impact all in the same story."
