We're looking to upturn the old industrial paradigm and create a new, creative economy. Hackerspaces are one half of the endeavor to form an epicenter to a more balanced economy and political system.
Here are the items we'll be transforming* and putting together to create the new paradigm:
- Food Sovereignty: growing your own food, saving enough for the land
- Water Stewardship: having liquid essentials and keeping them available for animals
- Education: teaching and learning
- Health and Healing: how to be healthy without artifice
- Right Livelihood : living without trampling on others or creating more karma
- Shelter: simpler, eco-friendly housing options
- Transportation: getting around without destroying community and planet
- Communications Freedom: being able to reach the masses and stay connected
The page focusses on the Earth Dream. Not mentioned will be to gain skills to support a space-port for Earth and ultimately a Space-faring race for Civilization's Dream.
See Permaculture for the standard in which to measure success. If you want a visual for what we can achieve here, watch the movie Avatar.
