Transition to a Post-Industrial age
As the month of May is fast approaching, I worry about what i would submit as an Evokation. As of the moment, I'm thinking of focusing on the Transition to a Post-Industrial age.
In this transition, a lot of things are being done. The culture of fast food and large scale monocultures of meat and palm oil is being converted to permaculture farms and food forests wherein there is a diverse output of produce. Communities are then starting to live… Continue

IMAGINE1: Campaign against garbage
One of the biggest problems we are facing today in our country (Philippines) is the tremendous amounts of garbage.

LEARN1: Skills in numbers
From Amy Smith
Provide skills, not just finished technologies.
The current revolution in design for developing countries is the notion
of co-creation, of teaching the skills necessary to create the solution,
rather than simply providing the solution. By involving the community
throughout the design process, you can help equip people to innovate and
contribute to the evolution of the product. Furthermore, they acquire

In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out.

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
