Why is air so important to us?
This question I got from people whom we addressed to participate in the AiREAS, healthy city and regional development initiative. We see a healthy, unpolluted environment as a shared responsibility that involves everyone. Since recently we also involve the educational system, from primary schools to universities, to create overall awareness about the importance of unpolluted air. In our current societal functioning the aspect of human values, such as health and healthy air, have often disappeared from our list of priorities. Building awareness helps us to restore this share responsibility and develop our sustainable wellness accordingly.
Refugee community in Uganda starts own food production
Food is known as a community builder. At the side of food preparation and consumption the kitchen has traditionally been the family place to meet, talk, interact, help or simply be. In many cultures the food related activities take many hours and are the kernel of family or community life. In Uganda, the people in the Nakivale refugee settlement, asked their government for a few fields in which to develop their own food. The local government granted them the use of nearby fields for a period of 10 years including the option to buy them as property. Gradually local people started to get motivated to join the cultivation team. International foundations, such as STIR, try to help with small amounts of money, acquired through GoFund (link here), to allow the community to purchase materials, seeds and even water. We also provide online advice, as FRE2SH, on how to develop a local economy, providing recognition and fair sharing methods for those that invest time and energy in the cultivation process. We are pleased to see how many people are gathering and developing the food community.
Global co-creation of the Laws of Nature Manifesto
With the involvement of experts from the Netherlands, Germany, India, USA, Belgium, Singapore, Indonesia, Nigeria and Ireland, the Laws of Nature Manifesto was established. The idea behind this mission is that serious changes need to be made in our decision making, at all levels and in all silos of society. The thinking and proven handling of Sustainocracy has been used as source of inspiration, both in establishing the list of natural values, as in one of the videos showing the practical way of taking shared responsibility (AiREAS). The entire movement was initiated and guided by Eugen Oetringer.
The Manifesto represents a positive invitation to all leaders in society to join this way of thinking and take personal and collective benefit as well as recognition for the choice.
