Sometimes, when surviving through an economic depression, especially like the last one, which had world-wide coverage and effect, the only way to get going at full speed again is by applying a massive kick-start.
Create an Environment of Investment.
Most noble comment. But which Government has the will, or the financial clout (especially after a series of such dramatic natural disasters) to start or jerk this fragile recovery into action?
Perhaps no 'standard' government has the financial clout any more. But what about an association of First Nations people?
More about that later; let's look at what is happening in the world, and issues that need addressing as rapidly as possible.
Those that spring most readily to mind are Global Warming, and our seemingly unswerving dependence on rapidly-dwindling fossil fuels, followed by a world-wide concern over poverty and health issues.
Let's take a closer look at some of these issues:
Our continuing desire to burn massive amounts of fossil fuels (petrol and diesel), as well as even bigger amounts of coal, oil, and natural gas on generating most of our electrical power.
We create monstrous, unsightly, and highly inefficient wind farms, using out-dated technology that in itself takes up to 20 years to replace the carbon footprint created to install them
Our continuing desire to throw away our waste in the most selfish manner, and then let our local councils either burn or bury it (or export it to some other country - who usually bury or burn it for us).
Our very fickle desire to build houses in a manner that takes such a high carbon footprint to achieve it, and causes so much waste by-products, and then, we insist in spending even more fossil fuels in an attempt to keep these houses hot in winter and cold in summer.
Then, do we make any attempt to conserve water. No, we regularly flush our toilets, public urinals waste Olympic Swimming pools of water every year; rainwater and waste water is just literally poured down our sewers.
How do we try to control diseases? We just get through millions of gallons of bleach, and other products that 'kill all known germs DEAD'. We treat fats oils and grease in the same manner, and just move the problems 'further down-stream', creating a superb playing field for all sorts of nasty pathogenic bacteria.
Let's look at each of the above points in more detail
Burning masses of fossil fuels to run our power stations, or run our cars and other transport. Until the recent Japanese nuclear disaster, Britain was on track to build 4 new nuclear plants. What an environmental and potentially disastrous choice. Electric cars? Not with the current battery issues and recharging times. But how about hydrogen produced from a simple cell, with a few gallons of water? Want to see a MAC truck or a Hummer running on one of these devices, with very little modification? Email me and I will send you a number of videos.
Wind farms. Have you recently been concerned about a collection of these prehistoric monsters getting planning permission to damage your view and your environment, as well as a danger to wildlife? We have the latest technology vortex wind turbines, that are unobtrusive, and far more efficient than the gargantuan dinosaur wind turbines.
Waste handled in the only proper manner. We have systems that can automatically sort all household waste (no more need to have selective bins); that can also take in dangerous hospital waste, green waste, oily sludge, tyres and plastics, and even human and animal sewage, and convert it very efficiently into green electricity - with No Incineration, and No Toxic ash. Efficient, maximised recyclables, reduced landfill needs, and reduced pollution. Perfect solution to our energy, resources, disease containment, and stops locking up scant fossil fuel based products on land fill sites for ever.
Sustainable Living. Why continue to build houses that need such a large carbon footprint to build, create so much waste, and then cost so much to run. Our houses are already built to the UK Government's Code 4 standards - probably 10 years ahead of anyone else.
Water -that scant resource that in some areas may cause a new World War. How about a collection of systems that can conserve water in toilets, recycle rainwater and other waste water, purify water, computerise crop watering, and how about this - a machine that can extract gallons of water every day from the air - even in a desert?
Using Nature to help fight disease. Rather than using chemicals that are toxic to our very environment, why not resort to Nature to fight natural illnesses. Using products such as EcoBug that uses 'good' bacteria to remove smells, fats etc, by outperforming pathogenic germs, alongside other natural products, we start to undo much of the destruction to our natural environment by this subtle move.
Eco-Tourism. Living with Nature. No point continuing what mankind has done increasingly over the last few centuries - destroying Rain Forests, hunting to extinction so many forms of wild life. Each Peace City will have an EcoPark area allocated to it, where the local natural flora and fauna, and indigenous animals and bids, are protected, encouraged, and enjoyed.
Fine. So we have many technological breakthroughs, that if they were to be adopted universally, what a great overall benefit they would have for all mankind.
Taking that process one stage further, and, following the lines of the United Nations 8 Millennium Goals, that also includes eradicating poverty and homelessness, reducing infant mortality, better education, better sports health, better employment which would lead to a much higher standard of living for so many millions of people across the world. If we could combine technological advances with these humanitarian goals, what a better place the whole world would be!
Now, going back to my earlier comment about a coming together of a number of First Nations people, who were able to combine their Sovereign Wealth into a suitable financial instrument of power, here we are looking at levels of resources that at this present moment in time, no 'conventional ' government could access.
What better way to utilise these resources to create a number of new 'Peace Cities' in a number of locations around the world, that combined all of the above benefits, including plans for education, employment, medical health, hospitals, shopping malls, sports awareness, agriculture, animal husbandry, with all the civic structure of a new City fully in place.
If these First Nations fully funded these projects, imagine the amount of local investment that this would attract - creating the climate for investment and humanity - and here you have the perfect kick-start to a far better, caring, humanitarian, peaceful world.
Far-fetched? It can never happen? Then I suggest you see what the Matua Karanga Foundation Trust is up to - under the control of His Excellency Chief Charles Hohepa - Sovereign Mandate of the Maori Nation.
Geoff Morris is working with a number of companies facilitating the humanitarian projects being implemented by the Matua Karanga Foundation.

Amazing concept in promoting peace and prosperity for indigenous and all peoples.
