Redesigning the Planet

We have to balance the impacts of humanity with systems and cycles of the planet. We can do this by using global ecological design. And, we can incorporate many good ideas, from the breakdown of nations and sustainable welfare to rationing, tradable vouchers and taxing bad things. Let us try them all at once, together, in an immediately-responsive, self-renewing, mature pattern. We need to be preserving what is good and useful in human cultures and sciences, and reserving what is necessary for nature to keep regenerating itself, while addressing the cascading problems of our modern expansion and catastrophic development with an immediate emergency approach.

We could call this approach a Eutopias, a practical framework for allowing the creative anarchy of traditional-size cultures to be able to implement appropriate technology to deal with their resources and with other cultures through a revitalized and empowered international body that has the power of taxing global resources and properties for its own support, as well as the power to disarm and neutralize the unhealthy influences of large nations and corporations. Eutopias is a framework that limits human expansion to domestic and artificial areas, by specifying responsibilities and duties, while permitting the free operation of nature on the majority of the planet. It also saves neopoetic areas and reserves wilderness. It encourages respect for natural and cultural capital. It recommends recognizing limits and planning for them using an ecological perspective and a metaphorical approach-it is metaphor-based as well as science-based, and limits-based as well as culture-based.

We can revisualize security, reconstruct nations, demilitarize the planet, redesign our communities, and unleash the wild!

Join in by reading, discussing and contributing to our first efforts at redesigning the planet. It is going to take a some time from everyone to work.

Please participate. Everyone can, but it will not work without you!
