Ervin Laszlo, system theorist and founder of the Club of Budapest, explains that the crux of the problem is that 'we have created a global world and we have a local mentality.' It is therefore time for a change in global consciousness, the next step in human evolution. It is up to all of us to make this change. Together we are more powerful than ever in our history to change the world system: 'Create the alternative. Be the emergent butterfly.'
