Car free cities show less obesitas and diabetes
With AiREAS we work together on healthy regioal development. This requires a huge transformation in our behavior. One of those changes is our mobility. Now studies reveal that slow mobility in town is good for our health. It also contributes to better air quality, less climate issues and a better economy.
Water needs in Africa
Drinking water is a core value for the continuity of life, including us, the human being.
Food (another core value) based communities in Africa struggle with local government corruption and the long periods of draught, longer than normal due to climate change. They try to get water from deep layers in the ground. For that investment is needed to dig the wells, install (and maintain) the pumps and store the water in basins or water towers. With this they can irrigate their plants and feed the local community of hundreds of people. These people subsequently receive education in an attempt to raise the local self sufficiency and resilience.
The lack of government support and extortion nature of such governance drives these groups into international crowdfunding for their financial needs. STIR has supported some of these projects financially and receives these photos as proof of the money being spend properly.
Even though we feel happy to be able to contribute, we also realize that we don’t solve the big issue if we do not also address the corruption of local government. Africa has great resources and with proper regional governance there could be sustainable wellness for all these people. Empowering the locals needs to go together with the international pressure on redefining our moral and ethical values to which we can hold officials responsable. Sustainocracy provides those values but also needs to have the support to exert pressure for change to accountability there where needed.
With this corruptions engrained in our (financial) systems and (self imposed) hierarchies we will never get to sustainable human progress or peace. Ideas are welcome, support too to strengthen those local communities.
International women’s day is not only about emanicipation, it represents a new moral evolutionary voyage for humankind
Humankind consists not only of the duality of a man and a woman for our evolution through the fusion of both to produce offspring. It also consists of the masculine and feminine energy that need to balance in moral interaction to produce sustainable human progress. These energies govern entire societies and define our wellness, level of self reflection, awareness, adaptiveness and moral guidance. Our current global society is fundamentally out of balance.
Feminine energy represents our moral justifications, our ethical reflections about what is good and bad, our creativity, the birth of renewal, our ability to adjust for the better, change and our evolutionary drive.
Masculine energy represents the organizational structures, systems of control, competition, expressions of power, conservatism, hierarchies, etc
These energetic forces are a yin-yang that need to balance themselves for sustainable progress. In our current society format the masculine energy is overwhelmingly dominant. Even emancipation movements tend to represent equal rights in the masculine field of activities rather than addressing the key ethical issues at hand while redefining those genuine feminine values that help us find progressive balans.
Especially now, in time of intense (masculine) conflicts in the world, hunger, poverty, destruction, growing imbalance, pollution, segragation, refugees, climate issues, etc, it is necessary more than ever to find again the (feminine) warmth of cohesion, togetherness, diplomacy, care, transformation, change and symbiose. This is where Sustainocracy positions itself, as a positive invitation for us all to work together and take responsability for peace, care for each other, care for our environment and sharing wellness and love among all.
