Criticize by Creating

Michelangelo, one of the great creators in Western history, said this.

What a beautiful and concise phrase! While clearly timeless, this is the perfect epithet for the kind of pragmatic, "just do it" experimental and creative activity and attitude I'm seeing within this movement with no name. That is, the Cambrian explosion of civil society entrepreneurs and developments around the world, all trying to shift our collective assumptions about what a more sustainable model for living on this planet might look like, which Paul Hawken spoke of in his Long Green talk that I blogged about yesterday.
