I love the Young Shelter Box idea, especially if you also put a Laptop in the box. I would call it the Shelter Box with Hope, with hope standing for ' Home Organized Personal Education '
Just think, a City of Modular Homes that is Fully Mobile. "Earthling Survival Pods or Yurt" Nomads Great for places that have major Flooding and Storms because now you can move away from danger and then return when the area is safe again. And of course RV's can be used to help mobilize people when needed.
"Be the change you wish to see in the world." (Mahatma Gandhi)
If you want things to improve in the world the first thing you have to do is make improvements in yourself, there is no other way. If you can’t be what you want the world to be you will never see improvements. Interpersonal intelligence
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. (Margaret Mead)
" The power of the people is much stronger than the people in power "
Some men see things as they are and say why? I dream of things that never were and say why not?
The time is out of joint: O cursed spite, That ever I was born to set it right! - Hamlet
Everything is ConnectedThe Tree of LifeCause and Effect For every action a human takes there is a reaction in the world. Most reactions are unnoticed because the impact is not so obvious or in some cases not totally in sync with the action of the human. So even doing nothing will still have an effect on the world. So it is only logical that every human understands these effects and understands their responsibilities to minimize negative effects and too maximize positive effects. All actions and inactions have a reaction. Gaia Hypothesis
There is literally 100's of important choices and decisions that we make everyday. Changes and Improvements will only come from being aware of the choices that we need to make everyday and not from the money we give to charities. Face it, Money will never solve our problems. Being aware of what choices we need to make everyday is the only sure way, and the only sustainable way, that we will ever have lasting changes and Improvements. And passing on this wisdom to people and future generations is the only way that we will ever free ourselves from making these same mistakes over and over again. A Charity that's Only asking for Money is not a Charity. A charity must have proven methods that clearly communicates the ways that people can really help without relying on money. Philanthropy should never have to depend on Volunteering. And the word Volunteer should never be used when describing what someone needs to do or what society needs to do. There is a huge difference between 'Work' and 'Life'. Doing what's right and doing what's good should never need a reason or should never need a word to describe it. GiftGenerosity Helping should just be a natural reaction that a human has when a human interacts with the world.
A Charity should mostly be about giving knowledge and Information and finding everyway possible to help people understand this knowledge and Information so that people can take action, make changes and make the right choices. Raising awareness is more important then raising money as long as the awareness can be translated into Action.
We must allow time for improvements and innovation. Autonomy Every business should give employees a half hour every workday, or at least a half hour every week, to work on a community project or a cause that will benefit people in some way. At the same time every school should give every teacher, administrator and student a half hour every school day or school week to work on a community project or a cause that will benefit people in some way.
Remember, ending poverty, ending hunger, providing healthcare, and even with all the greatest advances and improvements that we make in this world, non of these will mean nothing if we never increase the quality and quantity of our education. Give a person a fish you feed them for a day, teach that person how to fish and you feed them for a lifetime. Action
Learn & Learn again until Lambs become Lions
"More qualified teachers & increasing the quality of education will definitely help inspire change"
"Electric power is everywhere present in unlimited quantities and can drive the world's machinery without the need of coal, oil, gas, or any other fuels." (Nikola Tesla)
The Big 5 Testable Laws of Nature on Planet Earth: Things that we can Measure and Predict that can be Confirmed and Repeated in Tests using People, Time and Resources. The Big 5: What every human needs to live a sustainable, healthy and productive life without abuse or waste.
The Big 5 Needs of Humans: Water, Food, Shelter, Energy, Education W.F.S.E.E (WeFinallySee) Required amounts of Food & Water that are Necessary may vary depending on the location and region of the planet because of usable land and rainfall. (Free Trade)
Water: How much time, people and resources would it take to supply water for all necessary needs without waste and abuse?
Food: How much time, people and resources to feed yourself and others with the recommended daily nutritional requirements for optimum health?
Shelter: How much time, people and resources would it require to provide shelter that is sustainable, safe, healthy, energy efficient and low in maintenance?
Energy: How much time, people and resources would it require to provide you with all your energy needs without waste or abuse?
Education: How much time, people and resources would it take to educate yourself and others with the recommended Curriculum, Knowledge and Information that every human needs. Must fully understand each of the Big 5 as well as several other key categories.
The True Cost: Determined by the amount of people, time and resources that need to be used to provide the Big 5. (Environmental impacts, alternatives and choices)
People: The number of people it will take to perform any one of the Big 5 responsibilities.
Time: The time needed to complete the tasks in each category and subcategory of the Big 5.
Quantity needed will vary depending on required output.
Our society is defective. A system that depends on money and not people, and Poverty is the end result. The only true way to defend people against a flawed society is to teach essential knowledge and information to every human being on this planet.
First things that every Society needs to do.
First provide: Food, Water, Shelter, Energy and Education. All Five are equally important and all five are connected. Dichotomy Remove any one item and you will diminish life, create suffering and cause death. Being counter productive and making people vulnerable is not logical.
The first thing we teach is why the Big 5 is extremely important to every Human.
Each person will learn everything there is to know about growing and harvesting food including the importance of knowing nutritional needs. Human Food Energy RequirementsNutritionFarming
And then each person will learn everything there is to know about water. How to manage water supplies and how to keep water clean and plentiful without waste. Water Safety
And then each person will learn everything there is to know about education. How knowledge and information is acquired. How knowledge and information is shared. How knowledge and information is used to solve problems. How knowledge and information is used to acquire more knowledge and information. What knowledge and information is most important? Basic Knowledge 101
"In order for humans to enjoy the freedoms of being human in the physical world, and function with freedom of choice, humans must learn to do certain life preserving functions 'manually'. This is just a small inconvenience for freedom. We are still in control but we are also responsible for our negative effects." All countries should be Sustainable,Independent and capable of Self-Management so they can survive on their own without being dependent on other countries. Only trade what they can and only take in what they need because they cannot produce it themselves. Self-SufficiencySelf-ReliantSustainabilitySimplicitySelf Govern
