IMAGINE1; My Future, Your Future, OUR FUTURE

My Future, Your Future, OUR FUTURE

When I sat down to think where I would be and what exactly I would be doing to help the worlds current situation in 2020. Lots of ideas popped into my head such as possibly a environmentalist or even a eco-consaultant. But after time I found my destiny.

In 2020 I will be heading one of the largest eco-villages (Ecovillages are urban or rural communities of people, who strive to integrate a supportive social environment with a low-impact way of life.) in the world. I will not only be in charge of the project but also the founder of the organization 'global greening'. My organization will tackle all the major problems that are influencing climate change. When Alchemy contacts me I we gladly offer my services and hope that I be able to use innovative whys to eliminate the problems. My village will be completely self sufficient and will run purely on wind and solar power. We will have our own eco-currency and all food will be organically cultivated.

Here or two videos that I found that will give you a better idea of what exactly an ecovillage is-

This is an ecovillage situated in in the Findhorn Bay of Moray (www.ecovillagefindhorn.org)

MY ECO-VILLAGE:

Characteristics of an Eco village:

The defining characteristics of an eco-village, according to Robert Gilman’s seminal 1991 article, “The Eco-Village Challenge,” include “human-scale, healthy and sustainable development, full-featured settlement, and the harmless integration of human activities into the natural world.” Gilman also said that eco-villages should limit their populations to 150 individuals, which is the maximum size for any working social network according to the teachings of sociology and anthropology.

This is my future ambition. I hope that it will all come together and that I will be able to leave my great legacy behind for the future generations to reap the full rewards that this amazing plant has to offer.
