The evolution of a city
The STIR foundation was born as a critical alternative to the mainstream reality that was showing so many inhumane, destructive situations around the world. Contact with people in Italy brought the insight that “this is not a revolution, it is evolution!”. Such change in position of what was being referred to as the City of Tomorrow brought a totally new approach to engaging with our surroundings. Now, 15 years later, we see the effects as the town Eindhoven in the Netherlands, its participating leadership and citizenship, gradually develops signs of phase 4 decision making and behavioral change. It is still at a level of certain tension with phase 3 but evolving. This short video tries to provide some understanding of this intense and inspiring 800 years of evolution. We are curious if you see similar development in your own environment. If so, please elaborate in the comments.
How the reduction of our global energy dependence can improve our sustainable wellness.
We often wonder why we, with Sustainocracy, did not deep dive into the energy transition? We did make some attempts with EQoL (Energy and Quality of Life) but this did not develop at all. The world of energy is a competitive and highly demanding one. And let´s be honest, we at Sustainocracy have a totally different approach. Everything we do, being with AiREAS in de the field of air quality and health, or FRE2SH and its local food resilience communities, is related to reducing our need for energy resources.
Taking off the pressure of our needs for energy also reduces the need to find alternative sources while keeping that part that we save for real needs. Let us have a look at our short video message about this subject and its positive outcome if we take the message at heart.
How our changing perception of reality helps human evolution
We all may know that our perception of the reality around us is a personal interpretation, not necessarily an absolute precise representation. What if we open up to looking at reality in new ways? What would it do to us and maybe even to society? In this video we try to explain how we can contribute to human evolution by experimenting with our perception of realities.
