Journey to the Future: A Better World is PossibleGuy Dauncey
This slideshow accompanies the presentation about my new book. In contrast to the many dismal dystopian visions of our future, Journey to the Future is a positive ecotopian vision set in a future that shows how much we can achieve, if we use our efforts and imagination to build a better world.
In this blockbuster ecotopian novel, young protagonist Patrick Wu visits a future Vancouver in the year 2032 that is brimming with innovation and hope, where the climate crisis is being tackled, the solar revolution is underway and a new cooperative economy is taking shape. But enormous danger still lurks.

Striving for Equality: How Solar Can Uplift Disadvantaged CommunitiesGrid Freedom Inc.
The document discusses how solar installations can help uplift disadvantaged communities by lowering energy bills. It describes how community solar projects and solar installations on multi-family housing can help many low-income households at once. Small businesses are also struggling with high energy bills, but solar can significantly reduce their costs and help them operate or expand their business. Partnering with a solar marketing company can help solar contractors generate more leads and grow their business.
The document presents a vision for building a sustainable world over the next 500 years through developing renewable energy and clean technology infrastructure, implementing sustainable systems and values, and transitioning to an "electron economy" powered by renewable sources like solar and wind. Key aspects of the vision include developing renewable energy generation and storage, electric vehicles and transportation, green building standards, water recycling, and aligning economic models with environmental and social sustainability.
This document outlines solutions to barriers to increasing urban green spaces by 2020 that were identified through a consultation tour. Over 500 green space experts across Australia identified over 3,000 potential solutions, which were grouped and refined into 28 draft solutions. The draft solutions were then reviewed by the network to incorporate feedback. The solutions address funding, policy, knowledge, climate/environment, and culture barriers. Some solutions cut across multiple barriers. The document also discusses universal solutions and challenges in the consultation process.

3. Upload the distribution files to PAUSE after testing and following the checklist.
The document discusses several theories of motivation in management and organizational behavior, including:
1) Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory which proposes that people are motivated to fulfill basic needs before moving to higher level needs such as esteem and self-actualization.
2) Herzberg's two-factor theory which distinguishes between motivator factors and hygiene factors in the workplace.
3) McGregor's Theory X and Theory Y regarding assumptions about employee motivation.
4) McClelland's theory of achievement, power, and affiliation needs.
5) Alderfer's ERG theory which groups needs into existence, relatedness, and growth categories.
This document discusses how information technology systems can be made smarter to fully realize the potential of a smarter planet. Currently, IT systems are in need of an intelligence makeover as they are not configured efficiently. The emergence of smart things generating huge amounts of data highlights the need to process and make sense of data in real time. New smarter computing models like cloud computing, virtualization, and service-oriented software can make IT systems more efficient, dynamic, flexible and cost-effective. This will help unleash the power of a smarter planet connected by intelligent, optimized IT infrastructure.
Ecological economics differs from mainstream economics in several key ways:
1) It views the economy as a subsystem of larger ecological systems, not separate from the environment.
2) It focuses on the throughput of resources and adheres to the laws of thermodynamics, concerned with resource depletion and waste assimilation.
3) It considers the scale of the economy relative to ecosystems and believes uneconomic growth can occur when scale becomes too large.
The document discusses sustainable development and ethics regarding the environment. It notes that the environment is a stakeholder without a voice and that humans only consider its needs when their own are impacted. It critiques anthropocentrism for viewing nature as resources to exploit rather than having intrinsic worth. The document advocates adopting a sustainable ethic that recognizes environmental limits and treats humans as part of nature. It provides examples of individual, business, community and international efforts that can help overcome anthropocentrism, including the Kyoto Protocol for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Toxic systems are everywhere around us and they can be easily identified with simple math. This presentation features illustrative diagrams that explain the difference between healthy economics and unhealthy money systems (even ones that sound like they help people). At the end of the presentation you will be able to easily and quickly identify the toxic systems, understand how they impact your community and environment and know how to avoid them.
Chris Morton presents on inventing and innovation to address 21st century challenges like the environment, resources and sustainability. He discusses MakeNET projects including a thermoelectric converter, solar thermal fuel synthesizer and chemoelectro deposition mining. These aim to provide alternative energy, fuels and fresh water while preventing problems like acid mine drainage. Morton urges investing in MakeNET to support developing technology with global impact, jobs and environmental benefits while gaining a potentially high financial return. An art auction and expression of interest forms are proposed to raise funds for further research.
This document introduces the concept of a smarter planet where intelligence is being infused into systems, processes, and infrastructure to help address global challenges. A smarter planet is possible because the world is becoming instrumented with sensors everywhere, interconnected as more things can communicate with each other, and intelligent as these connected things are linked to powerful analytics systems. Some examples of how a smarter planet can help include reducing energy inefficiencies in the UK by 60%, using RFID to track food from farm to store to reduce waste, and transforming energy grids and supply chains through smart technologies. The document argues that with these smart capabilities, there is tremendous potential to deliver positive change and solve problems in critical areas like energy, food, water, and security.
This PPT is about Environmental ethics, engineering, ecology and economics of environmental ethics. Sustainable development, Our common future, Government role in maintaining environment, market mechanisms for sustainable environment, communities and environment, social activism.
This document provides an overview of the Open Source Ecology paradigm and Civilization Starter Kit. The Open Source Ecology movement aims to create an open source economy through open access to economically significant designs and techniques. This will lower barriers to entry and allow communities to produce more locally. The goal is for communities to gain the knowledge to produce essential resources and become more self-sufficient through the open sharing of technology. The Civilization Starter Kit outlines 50 industrial machines that would allow small scale communities to achieve modern comforts by producing locally.
Affordable Housing: Lets create an alternative vision!Noosa Biosphere
Affordable housing for the Noosa Biosphere as a Learning Laboratory.
Bettina Walter,
Chair, Noosa Biosphere Social Board for the Housing Forum, NRRA, Noosa Bowls Club, 22.April. 2010
The document outlines several environmental and social problems facing the world today, including pollution, starvation, poverty, and climate change. It argues that the underlying cause of these problems is the current socio-economic system of business and government. Technocracy is presented as an alternative system where society is divided into the technical and people aspects. Experts would run the technical side with the goals of providing the highest standard of living while minimizing environmental impact. Citizens would have equal energy credits to decide what is produced rather than using money.
The Future Of Renewable Energy And RE Policy MechanismsSheri Elliott
The document discusses renewable energy policy mechanisms and the future of renewable energy. It notes that renewable energies can compete with fossil fuels if subsidies are leveled between the industries. Currently, fossil fuels receive over 85% of energy subsidies in the US. Investments in wind energy, stimulated by the production tax credit, have significantly lowered costs and increased domestic manufacturing jobs. For renewable energies to effectively replace fossil fuels, policies need to incentivize their growth and competitiveness.
Clean energy is energy production that does not generate pollution or waste. It uses natural renewable sources like wind, water, geothermal heat from the Earth, and solar energy. Clean energy is important because conventional fossil fuels and nuclear energy have high social and environmental costs. Switching to clean, renewable energy sources can help reduce environmental impact and pollution while providing a sustainable energy supply.

This document summarizes Rudy Provoost's book "Energy 3.0" which argues that the global energy system is transitioning from centralized production (Energy 1.0) to include more distributed and consumer-driven energy (Energy 2.0). However, Provoost believes the focus needs to be on empowering the end-user and creating a personalized energy system tailored to individual needs and behaviors (Energy 3.0). Key aspects of Energy 3.0 include customized production and consumption, simplifying the energy system through technologies, and allowing consumers to control their own energy use and become energy producers. The goal is to make energy accessible, reliable and sustainable to improve lives worldwide.
Similar to Capital Intensive Clean Tech and Micro-Financed Green Solutions: A Comparison (20)
This document discusses strategies for transitioning to a carbon-free global economy by 2020 and beyond. It proposes using "enhanced incumbent" technologies like hydrogen hybrids, fuel additives, and natural gas from 2013-2020 to allow carbon-based technologies to continue with less environmental impact while carbon-free technologies are developed. After 2020, the focus shifts to stabilized wind, solar and ocean energy with battery storage and microgrids providing dispatchable base load production. Fuel cells, waste to energy and electric vehicles supported by solar and battery charging stations are also mentioned as part of the carbon-free economy.

Ellen Burstyn: From Detroit Dreamer to Hollywood Legend | CIO Women MagazineCIOWomenMagazine
In this article, we will dive into the extraordinary life of Ellen Burstyn, where the curtains rise on a story that's far more attractive than any script.
Adani Group's Active Interest In Increasing Its Presence in the Cement Manufa...Adani case
Time and again, the business group has taken up new business ventures, each of which has allowed it to expand its horizons further and reach new heights. Even amidst the Adani CBI Investigation, the firm has always focused on improving its cement business.

3. There are many perspectives on creating a more
sustainable world, from large scale wind farms and
solar installations, to low footprint permaculture
designs. Knowledge is the basis for our activity
and it is structured in consciousness. Contacting
the simplest state of consciousness at the source
of thought purifies thinking and action. The level
of our consciousness determines how we interact
with others and the natural environment. Higher
consciousness means action in accord with all the
laws of nature and is thus naturally and
spontaneously life affirming and supporting.
4. Same economic system
although pushback occurs
High capital intensive clean
tech
Requires enormous capital
Out of reach for most
Conforms to economic norms
and top down control and
economies of scale
Follows limitations related to
inconsistent supply
Best example: large wind
farms where farmers are
disempowered and paid little
economic rent
Challenge to economic system
moving towards biodiversity
and self sufficiency
Permaculture “compost”
concept micro financed
Low entry barrier, but
requires personal and
community commitment
Requires an understanding
of systems and knowledge
of how to design and
execute an ecological
design program
Hands-on and intensive
Practical?
5. Steady strong wind: Power is generated as the
cube of wind speed so more is better
Large blade sweeps: Power is generated as the
square of blade size so more is better
Wind and sun are not constantly and consistently
available and so either superior storage is
required or a mixture of both wind and solar (and
on-grid backup) is suggested
Utilities will (reluctantly) offer net metering, often
at avoided cost, except for Feed-in-tariff
programs such as in Ontario and in Germany
6. May or may not be in best economic interest of utility
Marginal cost of building one new facility is so high
that it is in best interest of power companies to
incentivize power saving and net metering
Utilities are either regulated monopolies with political
power, or actual government enterprises; engaged
citizens can challenge utility policies working with
regulatory bodies
Utilities are in the business of selling electricity and
laws are generally supportive of their unique position
in society
ROI in clean tech (analog) not like huge multiples in
digital investments, at least not yet
7. Agriculturally based design system that is a
contraction of permanent agriculture and
permanent culture that understands and
makes use of the interdependence and
relationships in the “life-shed”
Aims to create ecologically sound systems
that are self-sustaining and involves erosion
control, organic cultivation, and the built
environment
Is this for everyone? Should it be?
13. One family is challenged to finance a small
turbine or even solar systems
Banks need to provide mortgages for retrofits
What are their concerns?
Group of families must create a legal
cooperative utility and fight laws that protect
utilities
Example: Abundance Eco-village

4KW Grid-Tie with Battery backup ($2.42 per
watt!)
Item#: 4000w-pv-kit
Availability: Usually ships in 3-4 business
days
Regular price: $12,000.00
Sale price: $9,686.00
16. Solar power is becoming more cost effective
but financing is still an issue
Wind power is not practical in most urban
areas
Wind for grid electricity only works with big
wind and big turbines
FIT programs help but are rare
Semi-rural wind can work, especially for
co-ops
17. We need to rethink community…
Runoff that causes flooding is due to non-
systems thinking
One tree can…
http://www.americanforests.org/discover-
forests/tree-facts/
We should think big and plant 1 billion trees
18. When cost of capital is high decisions are
short term and occur when economy is
heating up…
Capital is available because return is high but
decisions are weighted to quick paybacks
If future is so discounted, how can decisions
be made for long term sustainability, e.g.
Seven Generation thinking?
Present value of 10 million dollars in 100
years @ different interest rates…
19. Interest Rate

10% ($725.66)
11% ($293.56)
12% ($119.73)
13% ($49.22)

16% ($3.58)
17% ($1.52)
18% ($0.65)
19% ($0.28)
20% ($0.12)
Let’s not even think seven generations
How about 100 years? Cost of capital and sustainability.xlsx
20. That is consciousness, the first and final frontier
Expanded awareness can take care of current
needs while providing the basis for future needs;
spontaneous right action in accord with Natural
Law characterizes higher states of consciousness
With higher collective consciousness the total
costs are calculated, i.e. no externalized costs
such as negative externalities
With higher consciousness there are no unpaid
positive externalities, such as a benefit to the
world that is unpaid
21. The many approaches are all valid as long as
there are no negative externalities; however
unseen and unintended consequences will
always occur when awareness is not grounded
in the home of all the laws of nature, pure
consciousness, unbounded awareness, the
Absolute, which is easily experienced through
Transcendental Meditation. The bottom line is
we need enlightened individuals to create an
enlightened world.
22. Capital intensive clean tech versus people intensive
Permaculture solutions
Is there a third solution, more quantum with large
multiples?
Let’s start the conversation; there are many
solutions at different levels of operation
Let’s be practical
Let’s teach systems and calculate total costs
Let our democracy be responsive to everyone, not a
servant to corporate greed
Let’s raise consciousness from its source in the
Unified field of all the laws of nature, the light of
pure consciousness, the will of God and liberate
Creative Intelligence
23. Triple bottom line Short term bottom line
Radical transparency
Mass collaboration
No secrets
Systems thinking and
empowerment driven
Towards Seven
Generation thinking
Sustainable
Upsets status quo
Proprietary
Competitive, paranoid
Tilting the playing field
regardless of ethics or
environmental
consequences
Bottom line and
“shareholder wealth
maximization” used as
modus operandi
24. Environmental Determinism: we are ruled by
nature
Possiblism (free will): we can control nature
Ecological/Systems Perspective: we are
interdependent
25. 1. So-called clean technologies can generate low
carbon electricity, which is essential in a time of
dangerous global warming and dwindling fossil
fuel resources.
2. Permaculture solutions, which are based on
ecological design, systems perspective,
community, water, soil, and built environment
interdependence are holistic in nature, but
require serious change in lifestyle for many.
26. Transcendental Consciousness is the
experience of pure awareness, the simplest
state of consciousness beyond thought, but
the source of thought, which is easily
experienced in Transcendental Meditation. This
conscious contact attunes one’s awareness
with that cosmic intelligence which is at the
basis of the universe; it guides everything
without a mistake.
27. Impulses within the transcendental field: The
liveliness of the transcendental field is like a
lamp at the door illuminating the silence and
the dynamism from silence. The knower gains
insight into the known.
28. Wholeness moving within itself:
In unity consciousness the knower, remaining
in unbounded awareness, perceives the truth
and ultimate reality of any perception. The
environment is perceived in terms of one’s
unbounded awareness.
“I am that. Thou art that. All this is that.” This
is real in unity consciousness.
In unity consciousness, Supreme knowledge is
total knowledge, perfection. This is life in
fulfillment. This is true sustainability.
29. The purpose of
creation is the
expansion of
happiness and
we are all here
to enjoy and
radiate
happiness
everywhere.
- Maharishi
30. “Life is here to enjoy. Tell everyone
—
nobody has to suffer anymore.”
— Maharishi
