The Global Oneness Project is a web-based video initiative exploring how the simple notion of oneness can be lived in our increasingly complex world.

We’re traveling the globe interviewing creative and courageous people who base their lives and work on the fundamental understanding that we are all connected and thus bear great responsibility for each other and our shared world. Our living library of films is available for free from our website or on DVD for events and educational use.

We are committed to documenting what is being born during this time of planetwide transformation. While we are confronted with unmistakable signs that our current way of life is no longer sustainable, inspiring and innovative people and programs are blossoming in all areas of our collective society. From a pay-it-forward café in Ahmedabad, to a youth program that brings African wisdom to Los Angeles, from the General Secretary of the Andean Nations, to the spiritual guardian of Ayers Rock, our film subjects live and work with many of the following values, attitudes, and beliefs:

* We are responsible to each other, the earth, and future generations.
* There are enough resources for us all, if we share.
* Free exchanges of information allow for greater, collective creative potential.
* Love, care and compassion have the power to transform the fabric of society.

We hope that by showing the diverse ways oneness is expressed—in the fields of sustainability, conflict resolution, spirituality, art, economics, indigenous culture, and social justice—others will be inspired to create solutions to personal and community challenges from their own lived understanding of oneness.

This is definitely worth publishing in both laguages, so here we go again.

The following text is the conclusion of the Oilreport done by Energy Watch Group in October 2007:

The major result from this analysis is that world oil production has peaked in 2006. Production will start to decline at a rate of several percent per year. By 2020, and even more by 2030, global oil supply will be dramatically lower. This will create a supply gap which can hardly be closed by growing contributions from other fossil, nuclear or alternative energy sources in this time frame.
The world is at the beginning of a structural change of its economic system. This change will be triggered by declining fossil fuel supplies and will influence almost all aspects of our daily life.
Climate change will also force humankind to change energy consumption patterns by reducing significantly the burning of fossil fuels. Global warming is a very serious problem. However, the focus of this paper is on the aspects of resource depletion as these are much less transparent to the public.

Der folgende Text ist das Fazit des Erdölreport der Energy Watch Group vom Oktober 2007:

Das Hauptergebnis der vorliegenden Analyse besteht in dem Befund, dass die Weltölförderung 2006 ihr Maximum erreicht hat und zukünftig mit einer Rate von mehreren Prozent jährlich zurückgehen wird. Bis 2020 und umso mehr bis 2030 ist ein dramatischer Rückgang der Ölförderung zu erwarten. Dadurch wird eine Versorgungslücke entstehen, die innerhalb dieses Zeitrahmens kaum durch die wachsenden Beiträge anderer fossiler, nuklearer oder alternativer Energiequellen geschlossen werden kann.
Die Weltwirtschaft steht am Anfang eines tiefen Strukturwandels. Dieser Wandel wird durch den Rückgang der Versorgung mit fossilen Brennstoffen ausgelöst, und er wird beinahe jeden Aspekt unseres Alltagslebens beeinflussen.
Ebenso wird der Klimawandel die Menschheit zwingen, ihre Energieverbrauchsmuster durch eine drastische Reduzierung der Verbrennung von fossilen Brennstoffen zu ändern. Die globale Erwärmung ist ein sehr ernstes Problem. Der Schwerpunkt der vorliegenden Studie liegt allerdings auf der Erschöpfung der Rohstoffvorräte mit allen zugehörigen Aspekten, da diese für die Öffentlichkeit wesentlich weniger transparent sind.
