We take things for granted. Let's build local Future Proof systems to meet our needs and live more sustainably

  • Summary

  • Do you take modern life and conveniences for granted? Imagine if you could no longer find common products like diapers, toilette paper, condoms, milk or sugar. Imagine if it cost more for a bottle of water than it does to fill up your vehicle with gasoline. This is a reality in #Venezuela at the moment. When a country with incredible income from oil and gas resources is a third world country, there is definitely a problem with the system. What can we learn by exploring another culture that is experiencing economic and political turmoil at the moment? Can we in North America be setting ourselves up for greater abundance and freedom? Can we build better food systems, electrical systems and distribution networks into our society? How can we learn from the situation in Venezuela to Future Proof our lives and society?
