The earth runs on solar power. Green plants, and only green plants,
convert light energy into food: photosynthesis is a miracle that makes possible every living, breathing
creature that exists. There are aspects of the earth system/environment that are closed—for example,
the water cycle. But the earth itself is not a closed system (it is solar powered), and moreover, it is not just
a "sustainable" system, it is a regenerative system: it produces energy in excess of what it consumes,
and the result is an abundance and a variety of life. It has the highest albedo (index of reflected light) of any
planet in our solar system: we are the "bright planet." What would happen if we looked at our
human systems (body, self, culture, family/social systems) from the perspective of "regenerative?"
