I think another thing is to return to a micro barter system. This
involves people trading goods and services to hammer out deals. The best
way to make sure that this goes through is to have a micro common use
contract for people to use. Amounts and quality must be listed. This way
people can have a easy way to negotiate for goods and services without
money if they choose so.

I think that micro-finanse loans as seen here (
http://www.buildanest.com/aboutus.asp) could be a start. I also think that capital restriction would be another good point to look at. If I give a person money for school should they be able to spend the excess money on video games? The answer should be no. So why don't loans come with the same restriction. We can have loans for specific needs and the ability for goods not to be bought with…

I find myself in a position where I don't really know what to do that would be a big event. To me the big event thing is a problem because it follows a flash in the pan philosophy of change and impact. I think what would be a good idea is for people to hand out refrigerator magnets that display how much it cost per gallon of water to process after it turns into waste water. There is something daily people need to think about in their daily lives instead of big events that just bring nostalgic…

Here is a link to a simple rain water harvester.
http://www.wikihow.com/Build-a-Rainwater-Collection-SystemI think that trying to make big waves is a bad idea because it requires vested info-structure to do so. Simple ways to reduce water waste would be beneficial first. The next thing that could be done is have trucks like trash trucks, collect rain water for some purpose. I'm still up in the air on…

I am celebrating Christmas. The Christmas tree is gone. The is a return to candles recognizing Jesus as the light of the world. Some people are having a hard time focusing on the spiritual nature of the holiday due to the reduction of and energy. Sadly to many are focusing on the past and the bright images of 20 years ago.

We down't need big windmills we can generate more then enough energy using micro trubines. I think that we are better off with this option then the windmill option because it kills birds and bats.

I would combine the algae used for bio-diseal and apply it to micro generators around a city. Instead of a core generator we would have multiple generators powering a city. Not only that we would have mandatory solar panels for all government buildings. Due to the demand and mass production of solar panels it would lower cost and allow for the country to get off a nuclear dependence.

A young boy sits down with his parents. They are middle class Americans living in what 10 years ago would be considered an urban slum. The young boys birthday is coming up and he asks for somethign special. The boy asks for sloppy joes. The parents look at him and say, "Wouldn' you prefer a party we can get baloons and a clown. I think clowns come to this part of town." The boy interupted, "No I want sloopy joes." The mother looks at her son and says "Honey you know we can't afford beef.…

- What I have done is that I gotten to know my neighbors better. We all have defferent needs. I'm unemployed and one of my neigbors helps me out with food. So we share food. One goes to the food banks while I help out. What we will have to do is make it economical and advantagious for people to choose to resource share. Not only that I would setup up a system in which people have a limit on how much fast food they can eat a week.

Hopefully in 2020 i'm still alive. Not only that I hope I would have a church to preach at or have a consulting firm in place. I desire to have a wife and a least 1 child by then as well. If not oh well.

I choose Ravi Zacharius from RZIM.ORG. I think the biggest issues in our future are not technological but philosphical/theological. The biggest point is that he promotes reflective thought on the ways of theology and philosphy and is honest about the up and downsides of a thought proccess.

Still learning this system. The parts that stand out is the point of "Don’t fight culture." I think that we fail to realize that our biggest problem is that we have a value and worldview conflict. A westerner in south Africa has a very different morals and worldviews then the natives.…
