Public Environmental Network

The World is a Complex & Harmonious Network

In business, networking helps us co-operate with others whose co-operation we might need at another time. It gives us opportunities for advancement in our field and creates a system in which business and individuals can help another succeed.

In Nature, all of life is one big network. Each species helps the others. Every part of the systembenefits form and contributes to the whole. If one member of this network has a serious problem or makes a major mistake, the others are affected and the network breaks down. As the species with the gifts of consciousness and choice, we are responsible for holding up our part of the system, for keeping the network intact. with this responsibility in mind, we can learn to live harmoniously within the network, contribute our share, and receive its abundant benefits.
