Earth Democracy is the recognition that we are part of the earth and the
the recognition that we have shrunk our existence, our brains, our minds, our potential.
From first understanding the universe, we were shrinking our consciousness, forgetting the Earth and Gaia, forgetting other species, making it all anthropocentric. But as of that wasn't enough we kept on shrinking, forgetting the women, forgetting non-western cultures, forgetting all we know.
Today we assume that the only knowlegde is the knowledge that serves power rather than life.
(Vandana Shiva, Earth University)
