Hello, Today I'd like to share with you about the launch of a beautiful new initiative, namely our EARTHwise Constitution for a Planetary Civilization, designed to help us co-create thrivable worlds and futures, and mature as a species. This initiative has been years in the making and is the culmination of my decades of research, visioning, and exploration for how we can apply the wisdom of living systems for developing and evolving our lives, societies, and future potentials. Constitutions are not just made by humans, they form part of the informational architecture of the Universe itself! We too are nature, and if we are to solve the root causes of our sustainability crisis, we'll have to learn how to become healthy living systems. For those of you who have read The Quest of Rose or Return of the Avatars from our Future Humans Trilogy, which I co-authored with my dear friend Dr. Jean Houston, you may recognize how Rose (the main character), was exploring this Constitution with her mother. In particular to explore how such a Constitution could form part of her Cosmic Compass game, which she was developing with her nephew Olaf (role-modelled after my son Manu). You'll be able to learn about this exciting new development in book 3 (coming in 2023)! The EARTHwise Constitution is designed as a Cosmic Compass for guiding how we can actualize our purpose and potentials with the cosmological architecture and evolutionary dynamics of living systems. Every coordinate on the Cosmic Compass is an Article in the Constitution. Visit our website to learn about the many ways in which you can work with this Constitution, including for movement building. Several people from the Regenerative Renaissance Movement have already reached out to me to explore how they can work with this Constitution, for the making of their own Constitution. And that's precisely why I've made the EARTHwise Constitution freely available and accessible, so that we can all work with these architectural wisdoms for what is ours to contribute to the big shifts that are happening. The EARTHwise Constitution is our gift to humanity for this tipping point time! To help accelerate the necessary changes for regenerating our planet, and building our worlds from systems that are thrivable by design. The Constitution also includes the 5 Future Archetypes that feature in The Quest of Rose, as well as the 16 Commitments of the Future Humans Quest for shifting and upgrading how we play the game of life on planet Earth. We need to stand boldly and united for what is required, to stop the 'giants of domination' and take our next evolutionary step as a future ancestor of a planetary civilization. If we don't, the power grabs of so many narcissistic economic and political leaders will worsen. We are the people who can profoundly make the difference, and now is the time. As my dear friend Jean Houston so often reminds us. Below is a visual overview of our 13 Living Systems Protocols, which feature in Article 6 of the Constitution, and can be read in detail in the online version. If any terms are not clear to you, you can read the glossary at the end. By signing-up on the Constitution website, it serves as an endorsement so we'll know how many people support this Constitution (like a petition). By signing-up you'll also be able to download the PDF version of the Constitution, so you can work with it freely and explore how to apply this to your life and work. If you'd like to work with and adapt this Constitution for your own initiatives and movement building, just reach out to me. We are currently developing our EARTHwise Futures DAO with our own tokens, through the amazing Hypha DAO tools (where I serve as a Steward). All this to make it easier for us work together, collaborate, and build the meta-movements through the roles of the 5 Future Archetypes. More about this soon... | 
To uncover the cities that are more accommodating to dogs and their owners, we analyzed data for 97 of the largest U.S. cities across topics reflective of dog-friendliness and livability. For details on our data sources and how we put all the information together to create our final rankings, read the Data and Methodology section below.
