A Local Rebuilding Model for Following Global Crises
Local environmental initiatives are required.
Water and its flow, water management and waste management up to building up recycling systems are essential
for tackling local and regional misery and inequality invigorated by the lockdown and the pandemic.
These are the foundations of any provision towards the future.
Life around water in urban and rural areas is linked and connected everywhere.
(Further points looking at Afghanistan and other places in that context)
Improving
"Environmental Justice" as an overall problem.
The "ecology of man's living conditions" and food and water security are a big challenge for people in
"developed countries" as much as in "developing countries".
If it's in Newark/ NJ, Flint/ Michigan or in
Gazipur and Ashulia at Dhaka/ Bangladesh
or at Darulaman/ Kabul:
for enabling better livelihood and more equity, based on human dignity
we have to find better ways for working together.
And for protecting humans and their environment.
(Further points in that context)
Amongst many others a reduction of "migration caused by despair" shall be very important.
Instead more "migration of hope" shall take place. For exchanging and learning and for building up
a better and healthier environment. For humans in "developed countries" as much
as for humans in otherwise "developing countries".
For moving away from "war as a natural state of mankind".
For Germany and Europe this also means: aligning the export dependent economy anew
in the sense of building and reconstructing infrastructures.
For a better performance in safeguarding water and food security also
in hard times at less safe as much as at rather safe places.
(Further points in that context)
Altogether that way the gates towards more fair trade shall be opened widely.
Building Peace is a more promising way forward than administrating war.
War against people and their, our environment.
The Future of globalization shall become an integration process.
Not a permanent intimidation and exclusion process. There’s many things to do.
And we should target and schedule that now.
There’s no climate adaption and no climate protection without environmental protection.
Without food and water safety. And without getting people on board for having them participate in that.
Giving them jobs. Giving them hope.
Appreciating their dignity.
Humans and their masses as the reason.
And decisive part of the solution.
All crises in the last decades increased inequality amongst people.
Ordinary people lost their livelihood. Everywhere.
This crisis now cannot be wasted like that again.
According to Buckminster Fuller we have to build up different models for making the old models obsolete.
Models of distribution and of wealth. Fair supply chains.
And more sustainable ways of production and distribution.
Water and its flow are the key. A start. For connecting and nourishing people.
Not dividing them.
Giving us and them meaningful jobs.
