Dear Wacco-
Based on the recognized need for a more sustainable economy and improved ecological balance, I have come up with some ideas. To initiate a dialog and invite others to share in my vision, I will write some down here. For context I will articulate my sentiments regarding our situation, as briefly as possible. There are many ways to look at it all so I’ll just make a list of issues that we need to deal with collectively sooner or later (preferably sooner): Climate Change, Peak Oil, Economic sustainability, Food Security, Water Security, Ecological Overshoot, Etc. all exacerbated by general ignorance, inertia, and myopia.
These are huge issues. I think we need to take a hard look at these so that we can come up with realistic solutions. We are responsible for creating the future we want. So, without further ado, I offer my input.
In general, I see that we could be much more intelligent collectively regarding our financial and resource flows. We could be working much more synergistically rather than destructively competitive the way we do by default in the standard capitalist model. We need to start articulating a new model and move toward it. Our dependence on foreign resources and unsustainable systems causes tremendous harm, not to mention insecurity.
So I am putting together a sustainability team. I am looking for people with mixed skills and experience in different fields. This includes anyone with experience or passion in areas such as gardening/propagation, animal husbandry/aquaculture, solar heating/cooling retrofit, alternative energy design and installation, water reclamation, etc. My goal is to offer full-range service to landowners, urban, rural and other, who want to improve their ecological footprint as well as increase food, water, and energy security. I also plan to offer ways to increase financial sovereignty and abundance with available resources.
I see a team of individuals, each specialized in a particular domain, who work together with homeowners to draft a plan based on the particular location and its inhabitants. I want to put together a company or collective who offers full-spectrum expert sustainability services. We will do fact-based analysis as well as offer creative input, draft a plan and implement. The range of possibilities is great, so I see the need for a diverse group to be able to offer a full-service to landowners that is convenient as well as excellent.
Please contact me if you are interested in what you are reading here.
