Hello bloggers,
I read more of the Gaia Readings and hers the link www.gaiaeducation.org/docs/Beyond%20You%20&%20Me%20Ebook.pdf
For this assignment I had to look at a incredible range and wide spectrum of Ecovillage effects that are rippling through societies worldwide. The sheer magnitude I had no idea was on a scope of that magnitude. The articles talk about local and community effects and benefits in all forms. Nationally the Ecovillage movement is growing and truly impressive in size. I had never considered that it would be organized on a scope of the entire planet, but had know that the main goal is to make the planet sustainable and healthy to promote better living and growth for humanity. The ability to become intertwined into politics and world view are to me a truly great view of potential for this lifestyle and choice of living to become a standard and base model for living worldwide for a infinite growth potential for humanity being sustainable societies of tomorrow. I also learned about the problems with particular views of our society and perceptions of our culture in other peoples perspectives. I think it's a difficult thing to get people to see America for what it is truly without being confused in translation for others. The idea we never work or have machines do everything for us is nice to hear but totally insane! People are taking what the article talked about that's called Reality Tours which are tours designed to take people from underdeveloped countries and show them more developed nations and how they have neg/pos aspects of their societies as well and that people are similar and also have problems. Utopian society would be nice but the reality is that we are far from there as of currently and more people are needed to help repair, relearn, rethink and reinvent our current world to a sustainable world for tomorrow for our kids and community members of our global village. The political views are interesting to knowing that they are concerned with quality of life for outcomes of votes and backing for their goals of creating a healthier and more sustainable earth and community for everyone to benefit from. This reading was a little slow but interesting none the less and especially about their global movement and communication diffusion through global societies. The unique perspective they drive outward to change our world is amazing and I had never know about really any of it until this reading. The idea of never worrying about life sustainability would be amazing to have no rent, no food bill, no utility bills and not worry about these life stresses we all experience on some level in our lives. Go Green or Go HOME! Lol
