Here is my article in response to the superb writing proposal of @ecoknowme (whose initiative I congratulate) on the theme "our ideas and solutions to solve the global stakes".

  • I will edit soon for the formatting / illustration, as well as for the addition of subjects so if I forget a subject do not hesitate to suggest, because I have ideas on everything but maybe just not thought of listing the theme.

  • From my presentation you know i'm a passionate thinker who loves to imagine and think solution to many problems, and the theme is exactly the reflections i personally have since many years so that will be really interesting to share with you ! Firstly i'd like to apologize if i do mistake with the english langage, but i'll do my best to be understood.

I look forward to reading your ideas and sharing with you !

Introduction

 

Think Global.jpg

  • First of all, I think the root of the problem comes from our low level of consciousness. Human beings should be encouraged to think in a global and less individualistic way: to take into account other human beings, other contexts, the plant and animal kingdoms, the planet, and the interactions between all of it.

  • Secondly, I believe that through the application of an informed, wise and democratic management and decision-making system we can create a framework that would allow the rapid and effective implementation of solutions to major problems without the powerful private interests dictating their rules for their own benefit to the detriment of the common / terrestrial interest.

  • For this we need to create a decentralized system, probably by the blockchain, which allows everyone to be connected to others in order to dialogue, exchange, serve, evoke a local or global problem, propose solutions, vote them, apply them , equitably distribute the resources, etc.

  • From this we can approach the solutions in themselves, although it is only my personal view of the matter and that according to my previous paragraph, it is all together and democratically that we should list the problems, think solutions, vote the most relevant, and apply them. So here are my ideas:

POLITICS

 

  • I think that we must recover the sovereignty of peoples in our respective countries, our leaders are most likely to be sold to corporations and the voting systems are full of weakness points that makes these leaders very often not representative of the will of the people, and of the issues to be solved. and war must be stopped, we can talk and educate ourselves !

ECONOMY

 

  • We should equitably distribute an unconditional basic income and allow decent living to everyone. While remunerating active people with a decent supplement, encouraging activity, without exceeding by a certain coefficient the unconditional income (example 3 to 5x maximum).

  • We should make this currency not cumulative beyond a certain threshold to maintain equity and social justice. This will reduce agressive and competitive attitude, selffishness and rivalry, societal isolation, stress-induced mental and physical illness. This will encourage initiative, enhance the self esteem and the creativity.

  • I think we should merge this type of distribution with the ressources based economy imaginated by (RIP) Jacques Fresco.

INDUSTRY

 

3d printing.jpg

  • We should make the poles of production a common resource by making them public. Everyone could order an object that would be designed (automated) and distributed almost free of charge, within the limit of a certain number of objects per type and per person. Past this limit the object could be returned, recycled (its raw materials reused for another thing thanks to a "bank of materials") and another object of the same ordered category.

  • Nowadays, it is accessible through automation, robotics and 3D printing which can print anything from nanometer materials to entire houses. This could not only stop the demential margins practiced by industrialists / corporations and drastically reduce the scheduled obsolescence, but also greatly reduce the impact of humans on the earth's resources that are increasingly lacking. The only cost once these poles of production created, would be their upkeep / update and the energy they use.

ENERGY

energy.jpg

  • We can create energy from wind, sun, waves, differences in height or temperature. We can store it in kinetic, hydrogen, electrical, caloric form and make it pass from one form to another.

  • We must rethink our way of producing energy by designing our buildings and infrastructures while taking into account the best energy production possible, by studying the place and adapting the form / materials to this production. For example, certain walls could be reflectives to optimize photovoltaic efficiency, to shape the terrain or buildings to direct and accelerate the wind towards wind-turbine. A south oriented greenhouse all along the house can store heat and distribute it, a north oriented storage for food and recovered water is a good way to harmonize temperatures. Our house have to be designed with all of our intelligence in order to optimise every aspect, with perfect synergy.

  • Secondly, we should ensure that each habitat is optimized to save and produce energy, use it and redistribute the overflow to all other habitats, and that those who have less can receive it. For example, a habitat producing hydrogen by recovering rainwater or desalination of seawater can redistribute its energy to a house oriented photovoltaic on days when there is not enough sun. The goal would be to store as little as possible but instead to ideally re-establish / produce it on demand, in a clean and respectful way, while recovering it wherever possible.

  • I think we should study free energy by learning (and supporting researchs) from Searl , Tesla, Leedskalning, Bedini, Meyer, Schauberger, Keely, Walter Russell and many other brilliant peoples.

HOUSES & BUILDINGS

  • We can build our homes in a respectful way using alternative methods such as super-adobe, stacking straw, hemp-based (much more profitable, quick to grow and profitable to the planet than wood, naturally antifungal And umputrecible), geodesic dome ...

  • But also from recovery elements such as maritime containers which are excellent habitable modules once they have been laid out. 3D habitats can also be printed in one piece by integrating clay, metal and insulation into the printer. They can also be thermoformed to produce modules that can be assembled in different ways and sit or bury in different contexts.

  • All of this allows for low-cost, high-efficiency, highly adaptable and quick-to-produce habitats to solve the housing crisis while satisfying the needs and desires of everyone in a respectful planet.

  • I'm personnaly working on this : Designing economical, ecological, autonomous (energy + organic food) houses, using sacred geometry (1.618 and feng shui) and giving these design freely for everyone (except comercial companies) and particularly for humanitarian groups, eco-villages, autonomy oriented groups...

FOOD / AGRICULTURE

 

permaculture.jpg

  • The best and healthiest method of cultivation is permaculture. In this method, plants are brought together in inter-utility families: Some will bring shade, others have deep roots to help up the nutrients, others will decompose to enrich the soil with elements , others will attract useful insects, others cause the pests to move away. By associating these families of plants with human intelligence and placing them in the right environment, we obtain a production superior to monoculture, without human labor, in total respect for nature, with a soil that is naturally enriched by With minimal cost (no machinery, no fertilizers or herbicides or insecticides).

  • Permaculture sites can be created where everyone can go to harvest what they need, with groups that reap the rewards to redistribute to those who have not been able to move. And such spaces in smaller area spread in the cities. The green spaces can also be arranged with plants that produce fruit that is palatable and that remove pests.

  • All this would be shared, the costs shared and distributed so that chaucn finds its account. And of course eradicating the ogm, infertile hybrid seeds, etc. Nature is preserved, the soil purified, the human feeded everywhereand whatever its resources, the health improved.

WATER

 

  • In order to make the link with the agricultural sector, we have to reduce our meat consumption, because this is what consumes most of our vegetable and water resources (16,000 liters of water to produce 1kg of beef) without being useful to us in any way (every amino acids, iron we need are in vegetable in better quantity and much better assimilated by our body), it is a simple habit that sooner or later will pass us, when our consciousness will evolveg.

  • Otherwise for the water itself it can be recovered from rainwater / worn and then purified by different means of filtration / phyto-purification, reverse osmosis, dynamization. We can re-use used water (from dish and shower) for the toilet flush. It can also be recovered from hydrogen-powered appliances, after the combustion step the water vapor is pure, it is sufficient to remineralize if necessary by passing it through sediments / rocks. It can also be recovered from the sea by desalination while producing hydrogen. Finally, it can also be condensed from the humidity of the air with stretched nets.

CLEANING EARTH ENVIRONMENT

 

  • We should replant trees wherever we cut them, ourselves and using automated drones to help us. We must recreate the three plant levels: trees, shrubs and soil plants that together will renew the ecosystem, micro climates and will shelter life again for a return to a healthy balance.

  • To clean the soil we can use the intelligence of nature combined with ours. Fungi in some forms, can eat plastic and even nuclear waste and reject the healthy organic mane, they spread in expansive circles which allows them to be placed judiciously to optimize the cleaning.

  • To clean the sea we can use this invention : Link

  • To clean the air we have just to evolve our industries and transportations, stop nuclear test and chemtrail spreading. Theen i think we should depolute the electromagnetics in our environnment because it is really bad for our health and for nature, we can evolve our communication ways (by light, or tesla towers using safe frequencies, or in the future : quantic intrication).

  • To Finish we have to clean the space by taking all our old satellites and recycle them (or make a big ball with it and send it to the sun).

TO CONCLUDE

I think the solutions are already at hand, the ideas are there, the technology is there, all that is missing is our desire to break our habits and our chains, to unite around a A common goal: a better world (call me the utopian, I assume) and move our ass to apply them. It may take only a few years and I think it's time for the human to assume his name, his role and his actions.

Wow, awesome article! I was actually thinking about participating in the challenge, but you've mentioned so many things that I would have touched on, that I don't know what else to add... :-)

Thank you for your appreciation ! Yeah i've seen your steemit blog and i found we've the same ideas and adeals, i think it is why our thoughts of solutions are so similar

Informative post @mercuriel, here are some interesting options I've heard about. Food; hydroponics. Japan unveiled a hydroponic farm that can grow 20,000 lettuce per day (soon to be 50,000) organically using much less water than traditional methods in the city center (reducing transport emissions too). Link here https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/feb/01/japanese-firm-to-open-worlds-first-robot-run-farm

Water; Singaporean NEWater, this is potable water produced from sewage water. Please see http://edition.cnn.com/2014/09/23/living/newater-singapore/index.html
There are also many, many desalination plants world wide (converting sea water into potable water). Although they are energy intensive, renewable sources can help mitigate this.

I hope one of the above taught you something new. Good post, upvoted and followed. If you have time to constructively criticize my latest post that would be great :)

Thanks a lot for all these links and ideas ! really interesting and perfectly in my "mindway" !

Add some more images too, i think they have a nice appeal

Thank you very much ! Yes I add them today, because when I wrote this article it was 00:00 and I was exhausted, I rescheduling the layout and illustrations. I wish you a good day.

Nice article, have an upvote.

Thanks a lot !

Wowza! That's a lot of ideas. I really liked how you started out speaking of about needing to raise everyone's consciousness.
I think Politics and Economy are the two that would have the most difficulty changing people's minds about. Some people are very passionate about one way while others are very passionate about a different way. So I think finding a balance so that both yin and yang are happy would be the largest challenge when trying to get people to find common ground on these 2 issues.
Thanks for the post!
