ELDERLY WISDOM!
Bearers Of Wisdom
The Elderly
In tribal cultures, the elderly play an important role. They are the keepers of the tribe's memories and the holders of wisdom. As such, the elderly are honored and respected members of tribes. In many modern cultures, however, this is often not the case. Many elderly people say that they feel ignored, left out, and disrespected. This is a sad commentary on modernization, but it doesn't have to be this way. We can change this situation by taking the time… Continue

OJAI NEEDS A RESILIANCE PLAN!
By 2020, Ojai will have a stable resilience plan. There are now organic farms where country clubs, parks, or housing development used to be. The food from these farms is sold at the four farmers' markets that have been started around Ojai. Two hospitals have been set up on either end of town making them easily accessible to everyone. There is also three new emergency housing sites that can provide any displaced families shelter until they can safely move back into their homes.…

Here for more info! For decades, California has epitomized America's economic strengths: technological excellence, artistic creativity, agricultural fecundity and an intrepid entrepreneurial spirit. Yet lately California has projected a grimmer vision of a politically divided, economically stagnant state. Last week its legislature cut a deal to close its $42 billion budget deficit, but its larger problems… Continue

New Currency in Ojai!
A new currency by the name of "Nordoffs" has been created in Ojai, California! The currency only works in the area, and therefore can only be used in the area, keeping the wealth in, and the corporations out! The reason for this is Ojai is too expensive for many of it's citizens. At the same time, though, it get's a lot of tourists. One Nordoff is the equivalent of $1.50 dollars. Therefore, when tourists trade in at the bank, it does not seem like much of a financial gain for Ojai, but all… Continue

MOM BUCKS!!!
My mother has a system called Mom-bucks. The process goes as follows:
When I do a chore/favor/ect.- I get paid in mom bucks.
I can buy privelages (staying out later, hang out sessions)- by paying my mother the mom-bucks.
Doing this keeps the "economy" (a.k.a. interaction) between us constant.…

Helping Water Conservation in My Dormitory
I go to the Oak Grove School in Ojai, California. I stay at the one dormitory, or "house," that the school has. Before I got to Besant House, although Oak Grove is green, the students were pretty wasteful about their resources. I worked with the dormparents to create the following rules:
1.) You can only do your laundry if you have a full load, if not and you need it done, buddy up with a friend's load.
2.) Make sure all faucets are fully off.
3.) Do not take showers longer than… Continue

Teach me WHAT IS MONEY?! And who's AT THE BANK?!
A profligate person. You think they've been taught how to manage their bucks? Think they've been guided!?? High schools need to make a required Life class, where students like myself learn how to manage money, write checks, have a bank account, pay taxes, and so on! Because I have no idea!! And I am almost 18!! Once one has a bank account, bank's should have employees called "Guides," people who will work with each individual to plan their spending and make sure they obide the future laws of,… Continue

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
