Communities for peace.

I've thought a lot about the homeless and the many people who are in poverty or teetering on the edge. There are others too who do well but something disastrous happens that devastates them such as wars, fires, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, cyclones, etc.

Have you ever thought about an ant colony or bee hive? Everyone plays a part to make the hive or colony thrive.

What do we need to exist? We need food, clean water, a place to get out of the elements. These are the basics. So, here are some of my thoughts that I think can make us more peaceful.

Think less about doing things for money and replace money with Yeshua, Jesus. The Quakers believe that there is God in all of us. We just have to listen and act upon what He says. When Yeshua Jesus is the head and all the rest of us become a part of the whole then there will be peace.

Going back to how I see community models. Think about our bodies. We have organs such as liver, lungs, kidneys, heart, brain, even our skin is considered an organ. Each organ consists of millions of cells but they all work together to make that organ function properly. Communities could be seen like organs. Our homes become smaller but adequate. Larger buildings for the activities where we come together; learning, fun, food, work.  Make them efficient. Grow most of the food within the community. Have a clean water source or a way to clean it. One thing we often forget about but is important is getting rid of our waste. One kind of waste that would be greatly reduced in this model is all the packaging materials. With food grown and raised within the community, you eliminate all that packaging. Everything is fresh. There is less pollution from transporting food from place to place. I also think that this would lead to healthier living, less diseases.

It will take time to transition to something like self-sufficient communities so we need to do as much as we can to clean up the mess we have made of this world. One major area that I see that we need to work on is how to get rid of the mountains of waste without putting more pollutants into the air, ground, and water. I've read about two different kinds of furnaces that claim that they burn waste at such high temperatures that out-gassing is minimal and even the small amounts of gasses produced are sent back into the fire to burn them up. The two types of furnaces that I've read about is plasma and laser furnaces. Maybe there are other ways to do this that I do not know about which brings me to this point. We need some good way to share knowledge and technologies with all the countries of the world, free of charge. If it is something that will help the world, then why not share it

There are so many things to think about and consider. What kinds of things will make our world a better place. Here are just a couple of things I've been thinking about. Solar and wind power are pretty good but I wonder about over time. Are old solar cells easy to get rid of without polluting? Also solar is no good if there is no sun. Same with wind turbans, if there is no wind then no power. I do not think oil and gas are the answer either.

Here are just some of the things that have really interested me and I think can help us. Graphene is one of the most interesting and amazing materials. I read and follow the sciences who are working on and developing graphene and products made with it. Kinetic energy is something else that really interests me. Building machines that use kinetic energy to give more energy than what it uses. Another thing that is quite interesting is activated charcoal. It is easy for anyone to make activated charcoal. They just have to know how. Activated charcoal can be used to clean air and water. It can also be taken internally to get rid of poison.  These are just some of the things I think about. If our young people could become more interested in studying and developing these kinds of things that would be beneficial to our planet I can only imagine the strides we could take to make our world a better place.

We can not wait for our world leaders to do something. All they care about is wealth and power. They are turning a blind eye to the real problems. Over 11,000 scientists from around the world agree that climate change is now an emergency situation. We the people of the world need to do this. Quit fighting each other, and come together with Yeshua Jesus as our King, our Leader.
