To restore balance to the planet, we must choose to change our behavior. To change our behavior, we must change how we approach the issues that we face. To paraphrase Einstein, one cannot repeat the same actions and expect different results.

Where balance exists, cultures move in harmony, systems evolve and continue to move effortlessly through time. For example, the many cultures of Nature have lived harmoniously for millions of years, in cooperation with one another, creating ecosystems, evolving and adapting to the shifting environment.
