Great post ! very inspiring and I admire you for working on this.
Do you or can you acquire any funding from arts or fim councils to part fund this? At this moment in time many grants are on hand for eco diversity and such.

At the moment in the UK towns are setting up sustainable communities, it is a start , consider 10 years ago how , difficult would it be to have books on earth building, workshops on how to make solar panels etc.. it is no longer "fringe" .

Look at people buying organic cottons, ethical clothing and goods. It is changing.

I do tend to think much tech is patent bought and hidden away, however we do have us and many young people to keep driving this along.

Apathy is a demon. ;]

Ecuador’s Historic Vote


Nature Gets Legal Rights

Approximately two-thirds of Ecuador’s population voted ‘yes’ this Autumn, in a historic, national referendum – a result that reflects the vast majority’s hopeful expectation of political change. By an overwhelming margin, the Ecuadorians backed their president, Rafael Correa, in voting for a new progressive constitution – the first in the world to grant Nature the same inalienable rights as human beings.




we work with local children in outside classrooms we teach rudolph steiner works to home ed children. Instead of the bogey man " global warming" we tend to let little ones leave nuts under a tree for the animals as a thank you for being there , listen to the wind etc.. it's an education not based on fear but respect. An education of the hearts, minds and soul


Thank you for this inspiring post.. it fills the heart and mind with joy..

do it keep going ;]

I agree with Skyfloating that this is perhaps the most intelligent and informative thread ever put together on ATS or anywhere, my compliments to you.

I might add though many if not most will disagree with me in saying this, that in your opening line regarding the Roman Senator wanting to place armbands around the slaves and the rest of the Senate illustrating to him what a bad idea that might be…

It is my humble opinion that Rome eventually took this one step further, and because there are so few Rulers and Masters in Rome, Rome has not ceased to exist but hidden itself completely.

Roman scripture, Roman law, and Roman Architecture dominate the Governmental Landscapes of all most every nation.

The United States Capitol City actually had the small creek running through it named the Tiber. The Capitol Rotunda, White House, and major and significant government buildings are all Roman edifices; the Roman Fasces grace the back drop of the Speakers podium in the House and the Senate.

You have done an exemplary and commendable job and illustrating a way forward, I believe though we first must fully identify just what is standing in our way forward and has long been standing in our way forward and while the groups and people and corporations all have many names, I truly believe that they all are governed secretly at the very top for the sake of it’s safety and control only one name Rome and Caesar which for the last 2,000 years has extorted that which is Caesars be rendered unto him.

I would like to move forward into the innovative and productive world you outline, and illustrate, I think there is but one thing that stands in our way, and has long stood in our way. Its name is Rome it is all around all of us, written and etched onto everything that governs and controls our lives. It must eventually be recognized and dealt with for any appreciable change for the better to ever occur.

Thanks for posting all the great information.

I agree wholeheartedly with a more compassionate aim to government.


It's not just government, it's people too. My film shows how everyone can do this, and it's NOT only up to government.


Unfortunately I believe that it is greed, and all of humanities thirst for power and wealth that prevents these things from becoming reality.


Only a small subsection are greedy for power, the rest of us are greedy for basic needs only. I have shown in my film it is not governments stopping us.

I do believe we are at a breaking point in society. When non essential items become less and less in demand, and people change their focus from getting ahead to helping their neighbors and communities get ahead, then reach out to other communities, we may see change.


Agreed, well said.


We can print money and give it to corporations to spend for themselves. Or we can print some money to revolutionize farming so that prices drop so drastically food is available for the world.


Agreed.


Problem is money in the hands of greedy people doesn't go as far as it should, and the impact of such monies falls short on the goal intended.


That's why we have to circumvent the debt system by introducing local currencies which are entirely legal and above board all over the world including in the U.S.


I would volunteer my time and energy in a nano second to a cause that wasn't based on greed but rather based on benefiting the community I am a part of.


There are plenty of tasks laid out by the film. Plenty of businesses you can start. If you're not bothered about business, just spread the ideas. I'm glad you're on board though. Wait till the film comes out.


The options are limited as too much is required for some small organization to revolutionize their community.


With respect, absolutely untrue. I have been at pains to point this out in the thread. Total misconception. 1 in a hundred people is all it takes.


Since it would mean lost jobs and income potential for investors in the long run.


Not true either, Sir. There is huge money to be made for the pioneers in Earth resurrection tech. I started a distro business for nothing.


Capitalism has fundamental flaws, when coupled with a monetary system that robs that wealth from hard working people. Couple this with bogus programs designed by government, and we are heading nowhere quickly.


Agreed, but we are complicit in it and the film shows the way out.

I appreciate your comments. They show me that I really need the long version out in a movie format.

Peace

Hi Gamma,
I didn't have space to post the whole transcript but in the main text I talk about individual wind turbines, and energy decentralisation.

Here's what I said:



Roughly 90 per cent of the world's photovoltaic systems are grid-tied systems. A self-powered home is thought to be an unrealistic, expensive dream. There is a common misconception that it costs about 20 to 30 thousand dollars to solarise a house, understandably beyond the reach of many families during an economic collapse. It is just not true that solarising or turbinising a home costs anywhere near so much. Enterprising individuals are taking advantage of public ignorance to make huge profit margins on simple technology. Who can blame them? With a bit of ingenuity and a couple of spare weekends, the price of providing minimal solar or wind is much much lower, closer to 1 or 2 hundred USD per panel.

In the developed world, solar or wind can only realistically provide ten to twenty per cent of the average household's needs. The average household consumption in the developing world is 800 to 1200 kilowatt hours per month, a wind turbine can only provide a tenth of this. However, this 10 or twenty per cent makes a critical difference in the geography of world power.
Imagine a world where a cloud of fear lifted because houses, hospitals and transport networks were no longer completely at the mercy of a power outage. In the event of a breakdown society can still continue. No-one needs to live the desperate scenarios of a thousand apocalyptic B movies. In the developing world, a solar panel or wind turbine can easily provide for a house's entire needs.


I have said a lot more but yr going to have to wait for the film! But yes, I agree, centralised wind is no better than centralised nuclear. Well spotted.

I should have prefaced my post with I was speaking on behalf of current belief structures. I agree with you 100%. I also believe that at least 10% of the world probably more has had some type of awakening at the very least realizing they create the reality they live in. I'm onboard with your thinking. I too am ready for a real change. I believe that self-sufficiency is key to economic prosperity but this takes a group effort. When all basic needs of humanity is nearly automated or just efficient that the cost is decreased and everything else becomes just a luxury item. This would revolutionize the way society is structured and those with the better ideas that contribute to humanity would be rewarded not like the current system that those that take the most from humanity benefit the most.
