[00:00] They wanted to change people's behaviors about how much stuff we bought and used. In June of 1992, the central planners got together for something called the Earth Summit. This is where 178 governments agreed to a document called Agenda 21.

[00:14] They wanted to change people's behaviors about how much stuff we bought and used. There were chapters on agriculture, energy, water, forests. It was essentially a blueprint for how humanity should live according to them.

[00:26] This was a plan for almost everything. The first section covered the social and economic side, like poverty, health, population, how people consume, and where they live. The second part of it covers the plant's resources, like land, water, forests, oceans, farming, energy.

[00:41] And the third part is about who should carry it out, like governments, businesses, local authorities, even farmers, workers, and young people. And then the fourth section is how they would pay for it to put it into practice. For the first time in history, almost every government in the world agreed on this one big plan for how humanity should live, what it should make, what it should eat, and who should be in charge of making this happen.

[01:04] Now, technically, Agenda 21 was not a legal agreement. There was no contract, so no country was legally forced to follow it. But for some reason, the policies all around the world have sort of become visible.
