"How Localization Builds Resilient Communities & Economies with Helena Norberg-Hodge | TGS 181"

It is TOO EARLY for local currencies, but THE TIME IS RIPE for _local food Initiatives_

Thought regarding "Treat others as you will that they treat you":

Harming ourselves harms those held onto us, so treat yourself as others wish you to benefit.

Thinking about how smoking tobacco impacts myself and others, too.

BUTTTTT I refuse to initiate works on the Hawai'ian islands. That is criminally ceded native land. I will, however, do what I can to help native Hawai'ians to build up their own co-op

Re: "Fuel (Concept)"

Fossil Fuel, Natural/Greenhouse Gas, Coal — DIRTY Fuel (not energy until consumed).

Sunlight, Water- & Air-flow, Heat Gradients, Biodiesel (recycled from organic wastes) — CLEAN Fuel.

We need to divest from the color-coding of Good v Bad.

Greenwashing and whitewashing, if inverted, become "red washing" and "black washing". Neither of those sounds pleasant to the Western superpsyche bc of racist histories.

If we can lessen color-association with health, we free ourselves from the biases implanted in us that encourage us to pursue false advertising.

The underlying message:

Local, local, local;
Local. Local. Local.
LOCAL! LOCAL! LOCAL!
#Communities

Lol George Washington was right: premature internationalization is a mistake (though not a fault)

I WANT TO START A SCHOOL FOR Farming, Technology, Medicine.

I would really like to work with you to build a chart of our local ecological dependencies:

I.e., upon which other forms of life do the lifeforms in our ecological habitats depend?

By fortifying the bases of the transespecial fuel chain, we secure our environment and assure both nature and ourselves of success and succession.

The 5 Rs:

Reconnect (to others as primary, and to nature — practical and spiritual).
Rethink.
Resist.
Renew.
Rejoice.

Study HEALTHY people, not only the traumatized.

So this is like paying for things in countries across #SouthEastAsia with apps like Grab, I assume? If this is so, this is VERY cool. I mean I believe we've been doing this for some time - like it you go to #China you pay things via #Alipay.
I remember in the past, stressing if I can get enough cash in foreign countries when I go abroad for work, or whether my credit card will be accepted.
