Sustaining Our World Requires A Global Revolution

One Seed, One Drop, One Pod at a Time

Page 2: Sustaining Our World Requires A Global Revolution One Seed, One Drop, One Pod at a Time

A Threshold has been crossed

Our tools and luxuries also empower our threats

Not only are we connected globally in commerce, transportation and instant communication,

But also the greatest threats to sustainability and viability of life are intimately connected, unified, and mutually supporting

Page 3: Sustaining Our World Requires A Global Revolution One Seed, One Drop, One Pod at a Time

Interconnected can also be overdependent

All solutions need not be high-end and high-dollar

Page 4: Sustaining Our World Requires A Global Revolution One Seed, One Drop, One Pod at a Time

Solving problems requires a New Thinking

Analyze, Synthesize, Think Out of the Box

Reducing pandemic threats

Reducing non-pandemic infectious disease

Increasing water, alternative renewable energy

Increasing education, eco-intelligence

Increase human rights and dignity

Decreasing human and drug trafficking

Increase self-directed micro-economies

A Need To Focus on Integrated Solutions

Porous ceramic filters – family-size, ad-hoc

PlayPump – a case story

Mini purification units for 15-20 families

Water is just one element, one example

A new thinking is needed that looks for the long-term Micro-Economic Enhancing Value from any solution or plan for Development and for Emergency

There are many things for Everyday People

Sustainability Is Achievable – One Seed at a Time

The problems may seem unsurmountable

Until we see

That the solutions, en masse, can match and overcome

But it requires committed and determined Action by large numbers of people and organizations
