The giant bee at Eden in Cornwall. Just to remind us the bees are in crisis as well as the world being in economic crisis.
Eden is the most successful of the millennium projects built in the United Kingdom. It is a beacon of sense in a time of financial constraints and austerity. This is the sort of project and growth projects we need to help re float our economy.
The developed world need to understand that the idea of continuous financial growth is a fantasy that the monied classes wish to foster and encourage in order to maintain the financial and statues differential between the rich and the poor.
The rich in the world have no interest in leveling the playing field and making the difference between being rich and being poor minimal.
That philosophy is the province of the socialist, anarchistic, communistic, left thinking egalitarians of the world.
It really is not difficult to see that the housing problem in the United kingdom is caused by at least in some part the fact that well off people own holiday homes some times more than one and have often a house in the country and a flat in the city. This action by its nature is excluding some people from having a roof over their head and forcing up the cost of property it is also not ecologically sound and is not on an environmental level sustainable.
Though for those in the position of owning such an amount of property it is possible to make the case from a personal point of view that the situation is sustainable. in that when you are not resident in the property personally it can provide holiday accommodation for other members of your family and be rented out as holiday accommodation an so earn you further income. If there is land around your property you can grow your own food and make the place self sufficient. all of which helps to make the rich richer and make thew local jobless less able to afford a roof over their head and as land prices rise as holiday areas become popular there is less land available cheap for the poor to grow their own food on.
Land need`s in most cases to be owned collectively or to be in national common ownership.If we are really serious about feeding the world and being ecologically sustainable. It is imperative That the people of this world start to think as a collective whole, functioning as members of the same family looking out for the good of our neighbors regardless of race color creed , sexual persuasion and nationality. We cannot countenance differences in levels of wealth or make differences in culture and behavior a reason for dislike and prejudices. Its time for a change if we do not make those changes to the way we live in the world and on the planet we will not survive the coming difficulties. The planet will and life will its just that human beings may not be part of it unless we change the rich of course think that their wealth and position will insulate them against the coming changes for this reference the Georgia guide stones in the USA. This is the philosophy as laid down by rich cooperate America and carved in monolithic stone. The same sort of story is told in the film Zardos.
The choices is ours are we bread and lead or are we a collective responsible family of human animals able to live peacefully together on a blue green planet that is a garden paradise of wonders in a universe and cosmos of wonders.
Blessed be to all I live in ever evolving bliss of optimism.
