Are you being farmed?This is a fictional story about how the taxes you pay are being managed. If you are happy with the way your Government manages your taxes this story is not for you! If not read on. After years of observing the management of Governments in different parts of the world, the fictional characters of Barney and his wife Susie returned to the island of their birth to live out their retirement. In which ever country they lived, they observed a consistency in the poor quality of service provided by Government Departments. How could this be, when those who managed and worked for government held the most secure jobs available to any worker. Why were they tardy in the delivery of services? Why were they not motivated? Was it laziness? Was it lack of accountability? Was it absence of responsibleness? Was it lack of direction? Was it bad management? Living out their retirement in the fictional island of their dreams, they thought they had left all that behind them. Fate intervened and soon they discovered they too were caught in the trap of bureaucracy. Events led to they and their neighbors' forming a community group called WeToo to tackle several issues of mismanagement in their community. The group railed at the wider implications of this for society at large and the excessive increasing cost to taxpayers of mismanagement. They identified symptoms of the problem; analyzed and then came up with solutions to fix the problem. They engaged with themselves and the authorities in order to resolve issues, but to no avail. Respecting the democratic system they lived in, they established action groups in each specific area of concern with the aim of at least starting a conversation about mismanagement. Wheels spun; voices were heard but they soon learned how hard it was to "fight city hall"!

We Think We Own It! A Journey Towards Sustainability, is a thought-provoking and progressive book, with scientific, philosophical, spiritual and theological roots, where people are encouraged to use their hearts and minds to seek a new strategy to bring about healing within humanity. Healing which will hopefully lead to improvements in these challenging global environmental times. All age groups will benefit from the clear explanations of the issues that the author believes are causing global warming and the inspirational strategic plan he suggests as to how these issues may be overcome. In this important book on global warming, you will learn through the lens of science, philosophy, spirituality and theology:The science behind global warming, carbon emissions, and climate change, and how, in spite of renewable energy research and development, humanity is far from resolving the problem. How humanity must have a change of heart (metanoia), and a change in attitude, where we strive to reduce our personal carbon footprint... this may in fact have to involve a reduction in our personal standard of living, where we consume less energy. How inspiration for this change in our life style may be obtained through Christian prayer, (friendship with God), other world religions/beliefs, spirituality and the philosophy of Rousseau. That we should get back to the basics of living a wholesome community life (mentioned in the mythology of Eden, before Satan appeared), where we show kindness towards each other, where we live in harmony and love together, banishing any delusional thought that we may have regarding ownership of the planet, and finally letting go of the potential to mislead others in our quest for wealth and property.How this change in how we live our lives will hopefully return this planet to a sustainable form, as perfect as the original Garden of Eden. I would like all who read this book, to be hopeful for the future of humanity on this planet. Hopeful that very good human nature (mentioned in Genesis), will prevail in the end. Where humanity inspired by genuine love, truth, and honesty, will take the necessary actions to make the planet sustainable once again, as sustainable as the original mythological Garden of Eden. Finally, I would like all who read this book to do something positive in their lives to help make this planet sustainable in the years to come. Tommy Treacy
