Building on my experiences at Arcosanti - http://www.arcosanti.org an experimental ecovillage in the desert of Arizona - I am now working to develop a Multipurpose Community and Unity Centre Development Model www.onevillagefoundation.org/ovf/unitycenters.html to promote more sustainable ways of living.

Though this model we at oneVillage Foundation http://www.onevillagefoundation.org hope to put forward an alternative interdisciplinary and highly integrated model of development. In this Centre, Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) becomes an enabler to collect best practices through research on the net, engage in effective training and educational development and develop global social networks to support sustainable development. The ICT augmented sustainable development progam focuses on three core areas

  1. Shelter (encouraging the sourcing of locally available materials),
  2. Agricultural production (encouraging local grown crops)
  3. Energy (seeing that locally produced, renewable, distributed power sources of energy are vital for sustainability.

All three key areas are key to the what many scientists believe is the most urgent challenge humanity faces - Global Climate Change. In the OVF Unity Centre, these approaches will be actively designed to synergetically interact with each other so that sustainability becomes a viable economic model for development. The fourth component is of course ICT will improve the development, refinement and replication of those best practices so that they address the urgent issues of sustainability in each of three core areas mentioned above. This will include working centres that will feature three main educational and research components:

  1. Onsite interpretative learning through training and experiencing the interactivity of the sustainable production systems and built environments
  2. Onsite ICT training and research tools
  3. Open and Distance learning programs

Through this integrated approach we will be able to focus on a nonlinear, adaptabive, present-oriented learning model we believe that a new level of human potential can be reached. Key to this is the switch away from rote, linear, object based memorization and towards a focus on relationships within living system. This paradigm shift in learning accompanied by a carefully selected ICT toolset will allow for humans to develop what Doug Engelbart called Networked Improvement Communities http://www.answers.com/topic/networked-improvement-community whereby collective IQ will rapidly develop to the extent by which humans can once again be empowered to solve world urgent issues that many believe a leading humanity towards a rapid and unprecedented downward spiral.

Hi Everyone,

I am currently working to develop the OneVillage/EcoCenter and OneVillage pages as part of an effort that builds on several other related efforts within our network. My experiences at Arcosanti are very relevant to this particularly in relation to the OneVillage/EcoCenter page.

If you would like to talk more about this please email me at Jeff@onevillage.biz

Hi , I have noticed your interest in bees and this new phenomenon called CCD. I want to alert you that current beekeeping is following the worst agro industrial trends. Extremely and abundant pesticide use, migrating hives thousands of miles, depleting all their natural food- honey and replacing it with artificial sugar,artificial wax foundation etc. has an incredible negative impact on bees. But, there is a handful of paradigm shifting beekeepers such as Dee Lusby, Michael Bush http://www.bushfarms.com/bees.htm and Denis Murrel http://bees.farvista.net/ttbh.htm who are trying to make a change to pure organic beekeeping. They have no loses from CCD Regards,Sasha Mrkailo
