Abstract:
For many, the world appears in dire turmoil. Every day transformations in our lives due to U.S. and global actions and reactions appear. For many our current world doesn’t resemble the world we knew just weeks ago. We’re confounded, pondering what to do next—especially with our money. This article traces and responds to that, guiding how to beneficially move forward by redirecting our money into support for the areas we care about, and people we want to support. Regardless of political perspective, today’s social disruption largely results from current U.S. Executive Branch activities. According to former US Labor Secretary Robert Reich, we’re in a national emergency “to justify his wholesale leveling of significant portions of the federal government and civil service and his virulent attacks on the pillars of civil society — our universities, the media, science, law, and the arts”(2025) In response, “Move On” and other national organizations are pulling together people and providing guidance in large scale efforts through this turbulence, mobilizing people for better futures. Yet, large scale resistance and mobilization is only part of the story. Here, we will introduce the discipline of EcoSociology, and discuss how we can use it to plan our lives to support solutions of major world problems through managing expenses and directing our earnings in proactive and progressive ways. We will discuss the “EcoSocial Evolution”, operationalizing Bernard Phillips’ (2024) lead series article: “How to Save the World: Toward a New Social Movement—'Individual Evolution’.” echoing a Japanese proverb: ‘Vision without action is a daydream; action without vision is a nightmare’.” We’ll begin by summarizing Bernard Phillips’ lead article for this series, followed by highlighting the principles of EcoSociology and EcoSocial Planning, then illustrating those principles with conclusions, thereby presenting a practical guide for personal and collective transformation.
