    An Alternative Energy home our children can build. Oh the things our kids are learning! Preparing your children for the future is a big part of life and preparing them for the right future is what we want to do. With Alternative Energy moving into the forefront of our lives it will become increasingly important for our children to understand what it is and Thames and Kosmos is there to lead them along as they walk through alternative energy sources and how they work.

    Water is truly one of the key necessities to live on this globe besides food and air. We may survive without food but it is impossible to live in absence of water.

  • our early twenty-first century civilization is not the first to face the prospect of environmentally induced economic decline. The question is how we will respond.
  • Today, our successes and problems flow from the extraordinary growth in the world economy over the last century.
  • While the economy is growing exponentially, the earth’s natural capacities, such as its ability to supply fresh water, forest products, and seafood, have not increased. Humanity’s collective demands first surpassed the earth’s regenerative capacity around 1980. Today, global demands on natural systems exceed their sustainable yield capacity by nearly 30 percent. We are meeting current demands by consuming the earth’s natural assets, setting the stage for decline and collapse.

  • In our modern high-tech civilization, it is easy to forget that the economy, indeed our existence, is wholly dependent on the earth’s natural systems and resources.
  • the carbon stored in the Amazon’s trees equals roughly 15 years of human-induced carbon emissions in the atmosphere
  • we will either mobilize together to save our global civilization, or we will all be potential victims of its disintegration

  • Rio+20 can definitely make a difference to sustainable development is by following through on the clause in the draft document which commits member states to develop an international policy framework requiring companies to publish sustainability reports
  • there is a collective learning curve, and it takes as long as it does, and that some stages have to be gone through first
  • Rio+20 will make a difference, but I think we need to combine it with habitat 2015 and the 2015 World Conference on Women as well. We need to stop thinking of some conferences as make-or-break, and instead look at how each one can move us along further.

  • By bringing together political leaders, civil society groups and businesses, Rio+20 provides an opportunity to jumpstart a renewed commitment toward a more sustainable planet. This won't come easily-- and it's only possible if we're willing to acknowledge that the world has shifted profoundly since 1992.
  • companies are starting to see sustainability as a competitive advantage. We need to hear these stories

  • "We are disillusioned. The current political system is broken," said Bob Watson, the UK government's chief environmental science advisor
  • "Last time in Rio we had an unreasonable faith in governments. Since then we've lost our innocence in believing government was wise and benevolent and far-sighted. That's been blown completely out of the water," said Camilla Toulmin, director of the International Institute for Environment and Development, a non-profit organisation based in London.
  • "The UN text [for the summit declaration] is weak," said energy researcher José Goldemberg, who was Brazil's environment secretary at the time of the first summit.

  • Syukuro Manabe, a climate modeller at the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, "the political system is not motivated to worry about the future".
  • "Decision-makers should learn from and scale up grass-roots action and knowledge in areas like energy, food, water and natural resources," the panel declared.

  • “There is a parallel based on the same fundamental mechanisms of the economic collapse that we’re seeing now and the collapse of past civilisations such as the Maya,”
  • only those societies able to stamp out unsustainable habits – over-logging, overspending, over-extension – have the ability to survive

  • “If we continue to operate non-sustainably, then in 50 or 60 years, the US and Japan and Europe will be in bad shape. But my friends in the highlands of New Guinea will be fine. Some of my friends made stone tools when they were children and they could just go back to what their ancestors were doing for 46,000 years. New Guinea highlanders are not doomed,”
  • “The first world lifestyle will be doomed if we don’t learn to operate sustainably.”

  • focus is on the quality of the crops grown and their suitability for human nutrition
  • I often think of how much further all that effort could have gone had I grown up on a "real" farm but then I realize that if I had, it would have required an equal effort to change from the "quantity first" focus that has so characterized American agriculture to the new "quality first" focus established by the organic pioneers.

      Food Rebellions! is a very useful book in this context, arguing that organic small farms actually produce more yield per acre (perhaps per unit of energy too) than large farms.
  • There is no reason that large farms, whatever path they may have been on, cannot learn to meet those standards if they understand that it is not the scale of the farm but the attitude of the farmer that the public is interested in.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • The small organic farm greatly discomforts the corporate/industrial mind because the small organic farm is one of the most relentlessly subversive forces on the planet.  Over centuries both the communist and the capitalist systems have tried to destroy small farms because small farmers are a threat to the consolidation of absolute power.  Thomas Jefferson said he didn't think we could have democracy unless at least 20% of the population was self-supporting on small farms so they were independent enough to be able to tell an oppressive government to stuff it.  It is very difficult to control people who can create products without purchasing inputs from the system, who can market their products directly thus avoiding the involvement of mercenary middlemen, who can butcher animals and preserve foods without reliance on industrial conglomerates, and who can't be bullied because they can feed their own faces.
  • Massive industrial conglomerates that look upon people as anonymous passive serfs, obedient cogs in a mechanistic world, now control far too many aspects of human existence.
