# Earth Stewardship/Blackbelt
## Environmental Awareness

Purpose - Curiosity
* Precept 1: Adopt a ’set to break sets’: Think different, get people that think different, take different perspective, different different different
* Precept 2: Explore the ‘givens’: Context is important for a problem. Maybe the context was wrong. Use Assumption surfacing or Reversals to get behind it. Get a fresh view on it. Try being very clear about your environment, trying to notice things you take for granted.
* Precept 3: Broad picture, local detail: You can store an enormous amount of information, but only very few items at a time. Use mind maps or similar techniques to go broad and deep at the same time or rather one after the other.

Purpose - Forgiveness
* Precept 4: Value play: Play is central to learning, just think about being a kid. You learn by trial and error. It loosens things up if you can just play with a problem. For this you need to create a special settings, choose team members that trust each other and you can simply use such techniques as a way to build a team.
* Precept 5: Build up, don’t knock down: Go from ‘Yes, but…’ to ‘Yes, and…’. Value people.
* Precept 6: Live with Looseness: Things will be confusing, uncertain, contradictory, sceptical and more. Especially in whicked problems you need to live with it and let go to have a map built over time.
