Adaptive Dome Housing and Resource Development

Heal Our Planet Naturally

In order to mitigate natural disasters, restore damaged property, and reap the benefits of increased productivity and development of natural Permaculture healing, the Habitat for Health GAIA Fan Club aims to educate its members on how to use strategic pricing to create cost-effective and environmentally responsible contingency plans.

The GAIA Fan Club (GFC) holds license to club properties as do co-owners in proportion to their own share holds. Wealth is accrued and measured as a factor of time savings paid forward into individual GFC estates. Individuals are paid time credits and other forms of capital into their own GFC time bank. GFC co-owned property can be exchanged, shared, leased, or rented. In the event of co-owned property loans, deposits or outright sale of property can be assessed for taxes if required.

For example, GFC membership donations are measured as a minimum quantity of time from startup measured by the hour. Time quantities are deposited into the GFC Time Bank digital vault. The time held in trust can be negotiated up or down based on fair market value for members who want to deposit, withdraw, invest, or spend on a GAIA Fan Club member project, service, or other task.

In this way donations of time, currency or appraisable gifts are converted for use by GFC and processed by the Habitat for Health TimeBank to settle accounts.

It's not what you say, but how you say it, and not what you do, but how you do it.

Goods and services were popular means of exchange until money became an easier replacement which in turn is recently being challenged by bitcoin. So as long as there are people to spend their free time and barter it remains the universal way to live life better.

Money is any item or verifiable record that is generally accepted as payment for goods and services and repayment of debts, such as taxes, in a particular country or socio-economic context. The primary functions which distinguish money are: medium of exchange, a unit of account, a store of value and sometimes, a standard of deferred payment.

Money Market Funds, also known as cash equivalents, are a form of mutual fund that invests in a variety of highly liquid, low-risk debt assets, including bonds, treasury bills, and cash funds, over short periods of time. This makes them significant. In Canada, these funds are required to allocate a minimum of 95% of their assets to Canadian-dollar debt instruments that have maturities less than one year.

Moreover, the tax coffers are closed to fund development or cleanup debris that pollutes the planet in disproportionate amounts. This leaves less opportunities for co-owners to trade their free time and/or barter in order to rebuild, repair, and/or minimize lost or found items before incurring tax obligations and/or expensive uninsured environmental repairs.

H4H Permaculture is focused on sequential plantings both indoors and outdoors to provide year-round produce for the eco-village and surplus sales to nearby customers as part of an ecological food supply, employment, and economic opportunities. Basic start points begin with Bill Mollison's award-winning theories and practices. Changes are based on factors from past, present, hybrid and emerging technology.

Resolve Conflicts Through Permaculture Success

The power of the individual to shape the course of history may be one of the most underdeveloped of all natural resources. It is only by the agreement of individuals that the complex relations between government, business, and people have produced the benefits of a developed, multicultural society.

Credit for achievements must also include responsibility for failures like environmental problems. Although discussions and programs to clean up or avoid environmental decline are underway, the extent of individual power is yet to be applied. By taking a closer look at what is going on and being done, clues how individual power can be used to help may be revealed.

Population growth increases demand for goods and services and is a major driving force behind economic development. The result increases pressure on natural systems and resources. While the economy continues to expand, the ecosystem on which it depends does not. Furthermore, there are natural indicators that show damage. For example: Forests are shrinking, water tables are falling, soils are eroding, wetlands are disappearing, fisheries are collapsing, range lands are deteriorating, rivers are running dry, temperatures are rising, coral reefs are dying, and plant and animal species are disappearing and waste that does not break down is accumulating.

These natural indicators help to identify thresholds for sustainable yields and mark loss or de-materialization of natural resources. In other words, natural indicators monitor the carrying capacity of Earth and the impact of economic development on natural resources and ecosystems.

Regardless of cause, the threshold of deterioration or collapse of natural systems has been reached. Individual power must now be called upon and applied to help work toward sustainable development. With an increase in understanding of relations between economics and nature, individual power grows.

The federal and provincial governments are obviously over spent, under managed and ill equipped to deal with the existential issues so why not make it easier for the out of work clean up crews who can help resolve conflicts through Permaculture Success.

Informal Economy*

An informal economy (informal sector or grey economy) is the part of any economy that is neither taxed nor monitored by any form of government. Although the informal sector makes up a significant portion of the economies in developing countries, it is sometimes stigmatized as troublesome and unmanageable. However, the informal sector provides critical economic opportunities for the poor and has been expanding rapidly since the 1960s. Integrating the informal economy into the formal sector is an important policy challenge for anyone.

Virtual Economy | Social and Political Implications and Issues

From the viewpoint of governments, the informal sector can create vicious cycles. Being unable to collect taxes from the informal sector, the government may be hindered in financing public services, which in turn makes the sector more attractive.

However, recent development of MM0s and MMORPGs in virtual real estate where Ultima Online, the mythical world in which the venerable MMO of Ultima Online unfolds. Such trading of real money for virtual goods simply represents the development of virtual economies where people come together where the real and the synthetic worlds are meeting within an economic sphere.

Conversely, some governments view informality as a benefit, enabling excess labor to be absorbed, and mitigating unemployment issues. Recognizing that the informal economy can produce significant goods and services, create necessary jobs, and contribute to imports and exports is critical for governments.

As the work in informal sector is not monitored or registered with the state, its workers are not entitled to social security, and they face unique challenges when affiliated in or creating trade unions.

Enter Habitat for Health, an informal economy where workers are more likely to replace long work hours than workers in the formal economy who are protected by employment laws and regulations.

Its an easy reach to become a member of H4H - GAIA Fan Club to divide the 24 hours of our existing daily calendar into 4 hour segments, exercise personal behaviours to choose 4 hour work shares, build a Dome Home, designing or working in Permaculture gardens, to build or fix other damage caused by climate change that in turn continues to cost billions of dollars in a variety of weather, property, damage needing repair or replacement, as well as preventable loss of life that continues to grow every year.

The Network State*

Preamble

 

Technology has enabled us to start new companies, new communities, and new currencies. But can we use it to start new cities, or even new countries? This book explains how to build the successor to the nation state, a concept we call the network state.

It is now feasible to build million-person online communities, start billion-dollar digital currencies, and architect buildings in VR to then crowdfund into reality. The Network State*  concept stacks together many existing technologies, rather than requiring the invention of new ones — like Mars-capable rockets, or permanent-habitation seasteads.

At the same time, it avoids the obvious pathways of election, revolution, and war – all of which turn ugly, and none of which provide much venue for individual initiative.

In other words, The Network State* takes the most robust existing tech stack we have – namely, the suite of technologies built around the internet – and uses it to route around political roadblocks, without waiting for future physical innovation.

The GAIA Fan Club members are taught ways to invest, choose pay options based on percentage of their current income, to qualify to own, rent, or sell. Habitat for Health actively teaches and supports stakeholders to build their own Permaculture co-owned land with Community help as necessary.

Benefits of reducing construction and living costs include development of durable, customized dome homes that use one-third fewer materials to encircle a similar floor area, can be framed and enclosed in a few days, and can be finished as time allows, and is convenient for you to adjust the environment to suit your unique requirements.

It’s time to ditch the lawn and go natural!*

Massive fields of non-native turf-grass that suck up enormous amounts of water and require more pesticides than farms — that’s largely what urban and suburban areas in Canada and the U.S. have become. Lawns are a colonial relic, once seen as a sign of wealth and privilege. But those who want to convert theirs to something more useful, such as wildflower or food gardens and pollinator habitats, face hurdles.

That’s in part because many municipal governments and some homeowner associations prescribe what people can and can’t do with their yards. With growing water scarcity and rapidly declining insect populations, the movement to allow greater freedom in yard design and care is growing.

A group of conservationists in Canada — including the Canadian Society of Landscape Architects, Canadian Wildlife Federation, David Suzuki Foundation, Ecological Design Lab at Toronto Metropolitan University and author and environmental advocate Lorraine Johnson — recently published an open letter urging municipal bylaw reforms to support habitat garden development.

With growing water scarcity and rapidly declining insect populations, the movement to allow greater freedom in yard design and care is growing.
