To some extent we are all zombies. This is the way it is, since we live in a world where we at least wear clothes, use a mobile phone or consume food of which we don’t know how it came to being. Many of us live mindlessly in a world that is full of conveniences. It’s time to break this pattern and change from zombie to rebel. Climate change and the inability to combat climate change show us that we are doing the wrong thing. In my book I show whát we can do differently and hów we can do it differently. Not the obvious solutions of becoming vegetarian and stop flying, but critically overlook our society and the system that has taken over.

Whát can essentially be captured in the movement from money to people. Most of us want a society that is less focused on wealth and prosperity and more focused on happiness and pleasure. A society that puts people first and where people are allowed to be who they are with all their imperfections and peculiarities. Not a society in which we are seen as walking wallets.

Commercials are an example of whát we can do differently. Advertisements are an important link between companies, consumers and the high level of pollution. Advertisements surround us all the time in every place we are. If we do something about this, for example by introducing a tax on advertisements, we can drastically reduce the number of advertisements. This is one of my ideas to change the system that is aimed at high consumption.

We look to politics for the hów, while at the same time we have no faith in the same politics. Instead, let’s look at each other more, start a movement from below. An example of how we can do things differently is intelligence. Do we really want a society designed by the most intelligent people? The complexity of our society has become so high. We can choose to put more practical people at the controls.

We can organize the world in such a way we are human again and not walking wallets, we take responsibility for our devastating way of life, we prepare for a harsh future, we reverse climate change and, above all, we live more valuable lives. My question to you is: will you join us? Are you a zombie or a rebel?
