The document describes plans for a pilot local sustainability project in Oltrepo Pavese, Italy. It will include the development of an eco-village, eco-cluster, and transition towns across multiple levels - from buildings to a 100km region. The goal is to create an integrated, multi-level local system that is sustainable, resilient and regenerative through approaches like co-housing, permaculture, green energy and local economics.
The document describes a proposal for building sustainable, resilient, generative and vibrant local systems in Italy. It discusses taking inspiration from existing living laboratories and using principles from various movements. The proposal involves building an international retreat center, academy, and pilot project in Oltrepò Pavese to test and demonstrate a new approach for local system design and (re)generation through system thinking and an alternative economy. The goal is to attract various types of people and organizations to participate in co-living, co-working, co-housing and co-evolving a new model of local community.
1) Trust is a major factor in international relations, as in social relations, and is the basis of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
2) The NPT was created in 1968 to build a worldwide alliance against nuclear weapons use through strategic alliances.
3) For the NPT to be effective, trust must be built between nuclear weapon states, non-nuclear weapon states, and non-signatories through vulnerability and cooperation. The recent treaty between Iran, Turkey and Brazil was an important step to rebuild trust in the NPT by making Iran more vulnerable through nuclear knowledge sharing.

The document discusses the need to transcend traditional categories and ways of thinking and instead embrace a "Why Not" mindset. It references quotes from Einstein and Fromm about solving problems from a different level of consciousness and having clear structure that allows for autonomy. The document advocates for moving beyond the industrial era model to a post-industrial system focused on relationships, diversity, local production and renewable energy. It invites the reader to get involved if they are innovative, curious, and want to help co-create a new possible world.
The document outlines plans to establish a Society for Organizational Learning (SoL) community in Italy called SoL Italia. SoL Italia aims to spread awareness of SoL principles and practices through networking, training events, publishing Italian translations of related works, and sponsoring large-scale change projects. Initial activities include growing the founding community, obtaining official SoL recognition, establishing a non-profit organization, launching a website and newsletter, holding monthly meetings, and conducting interviews with national leaders. The goal is to facilitate Italy's contribution to the global evolutionary shift toward more conscious organizations.
This document discusses sustainable building design and renewable energy technologies. It provides examples of several eco-housing projects in Wales, including Canolfan Hyddgen, St Lukes School, Y Senedd government building, and WISE building at CAT. These case studies illustrate techniques like passive solar heating, natural ventilation, daylighting, thermal mass walls, woodchip biomass heating, solar water heating, and small-scale wind and solar power. The document emphasizes the importance of energy efficient design, renewable energy sources, and user education to effectively manage sustainable buildings.

New World, Fresh Start
新的精彩源自心的改变
TEDxBLCU vol.1
Pete 说了
“我们内心的壁垒时常阻止我们接受新的开
始”
“有时我们会暗示自己,能做的事情其实很
少”
“我们也会这样想:付出了这么多,回报却
这么少,倒不如什么都不做”
Pete 做了
07 年在英格兰修到英语语言文学学士学位
之后在苏格兰在计算机科学领域深造
在此期间,他和同学们经营着一家农场……
我们呢 ?
10. Each day is a canvas waiting
to be painted with our
actions.
每一天都是一张崭新的油画布,用
什么颜色,用什么画法都不重要,重
要的是你到底有没有准备好要给每一
天都添上全新的色彩。或者,我们可
以把画作的过程理解为某类外化,真
正的内核是一颗渴望摆脱庸常、陈旧
的心。
圣徒保罗说:“我天天死。”撇开
其中的宗教含义,天天死,就会天天
有重生,就会天天有新的领悟和对生
命的理解。
We have a new world now, it
is waiting for our hands.
“新”不仅仅是指创意,更是行动;
“新”不仅仅是为了自己,更是为
了下一代。
Pete 说,他不是一个容易“受惊”
的人,他一点都不奇怪我们奇怪的语
言,奇怪的食物,但他却对于我们——
这群充满理想与激情,充满求知欲,
体认自身文化,并肩负起历史责任的
少年——充满了惊讶。
Pigs will come back oneday!
Pete 在他的演讲中一直提到一个
词“risk”,无论我们在做什么都是在
拿时间冒险,用时间、青春做赌注,
去博取我们梦寐以求的东西。
Pete 说,他在经营农场的时候,
就是在拿时间、金钱和他的智慧作抵
押,朝着梦想进发,一度失落,养的
猪都跑掉了。但是,最后的结果一样
的是皆大欢喜,一切付出都有了回
报。
再看看我们,中学时期的考试失,
大学时的失恋,找不到如意的工作……
都是我们的“猪”跑掉了的时候,那
又怎么样呢?“猪”还是会回来的,
有低谷就一定有高潮。
A paradise is waiting for us!
Pete 展示给我们一幅图片,柏林
墙上的涂鸦,画的是一个裂口的样子,
透过裂口,沙漠上有一片绿洲,大海
里有一方伊甸园……我们要这样常怀理
想。眼前人、眼前事很美,但是前进
的目标不能忘记,那一片新的天堂在
等着我们!
更新、刷新、创新,让一切都由内
而外焕然一新吧!
