Daniel Taylor on Change

Change doesn't happen because of how we invest our money. Change happens because of how we invest our human energy, and it always has since we came down from the trees. Everyone's got a margin of discretionary energy -- ten percent, twenty percent -- that isn't used up making their way in the world. That's the energy that's available for social change.

Taylor runs a non-profit called Future Generations, which I read about in Deep Economy, where it says that the crucial document in their development programs isn't a budget, or a plan of what they are going to achieve in the next five years, but a work plan that details what the next project the community is going to tackle, and the steps required to make it happen.
