I wanted to open a forum for people to post comments on concerns and ideas for revolution of a new sustainable culture that can arise from anywhere, hopefully multiple pockets from all over the world. I live in San Francisco and I hope that Both SF and Auburn (my home town), can both take part in this revolution of the people gaining their power back to be cultural dreamers instead of consumers of bullshit. I am not a pessimist these days. I truly believe that the future holds more promise then our past, for we have come from so many ugly ways of business and life practices, we have so much room to grow. Here are some ideas that Gabe has shared with me that should be expanded upon:
Pockets of 150 people (or less) communities that work to be self sufficient and any outside product is produced from conscious efforts to make the world a better place. SF Land Trust is an idea that creates money for the public (communities) to buy blocks of land and create low income housing. With the low income housing, efforts to improve health through basic ideas of consuming Quality Food, and educating everyone on what is quality and how to find health through our daily life practices. Education, Health Care, and direction of communities should all be discussed in the following months. So far through "non-profit" status, health care is a possibility at a cheap price if an entire community goes under the umbrella of the non-profit (which is what the community would be). Education can also be worked out with the public system by creating a 'home-schooling' that incorporates all the children of the community so that there is good interaction for learning between all.
I'm writing this real fast just to start the process - I pray that people add in comments, and ask questions, and start making not only myself, but everyone interested and ready to make a different lifestyle in the coming year. Now is the time and I'm pumped! Vamos!
