I just completed this short environics survey and discovered that I belong to the tribe of the New Aquarians (follow the link for visuals or read below for more about my tribe).

Making it: I'd never do work I didn't believe in.
Spending it: When I must consume at all, I consume with conscience.
Saving it: I'm not saving much now, but when I do I'll call the shots.

  1. Ciao, Sven here in Belgrade. Apparently I'm a New Aquarian too, whaddaya know. Hard to the modern side of the modern/traditional axis, and halfway along the social vs. individual axis. Just about the ideal person, as my father Bantutu used to say as we kayaked down the Amazon with my sister Vandana.
