The pseudo-economic bubble is bursting. Not to panic.
Welcome to a new era of Rubanisation , of health, cheers and prosperity. The short-lived Age of Consumerism is passe. 2012 will herald the Age of Contribution.
We just need to adopt a new way of life that focuses primarily on healthy food, basic amenities and a rich culture full of festivity and spirituality.
Localise food production - vegies, milk, eggs etc. and provision of all other daily or regular use products and services. Cut out all superfluous and frivolous consumption - fridge, air-conditioners, heaters, microwave, television etc.
Consider that people were lots more happy, warm, intelligent, social and energetic when these "dependencies" were not around. Instead share cooking with neighbors and community. Buy fresh and cook fresh. Use community washing machines, preferaby with peddles. doubles up as a spinning cycle for your work out.
Come up with creative and imaginative solutions to share work and cut out the "drudgery" of daily chores. Instead of passively watching television, interact and engage. Learn new arts and crafts. Read. Teach. Learn, Sing. Dance. Share...
Use organic water purifiers. Don't pollute water with detergents. Once we learn to keep our outdoors free of oily dust from vehicle tails and car tyres, we won't need to wash our clothes with so much of chemical detergents so frequently. Use cow dung ash (other substitutes) mixed with besan (gram flour) for washing utensils.
Localise schools, jobs, health care.
Walk and cycle. Stop buying new cars and use telematics for intelligent car pooling. Sell your car and send them to remote areas where they can be used as shared transport. Take the bus or metro rail wherever available. Take rickshaws or ultra-light electic people movers for elderly, pregnant women and small children.
That's the road ahead for recovery, health and prosperity.
Welcome to a bright new world. 2012 is just around the corner. Welcome with a warm huggie! Cheers!
