The Gap : Redefine climate crisis
• It is a issue about human survival, existence, material, energy, lifestyle, power, space, time and choices;
• The sense of time comes from the change of status;
• The concept of time is the first original alienation, departing human from Nature. ~ John Zerzan‧
• The emergent and calm are also relative altitudes; • Facing the Climate Crisis, we need
– Not only capitalist’s view ( making more money );– But also labors view: shortening the work hours;– And Citizen’ change to different lifestyles.
The Action Plans : New strategies~ The means of time and calendar
• The calendars reflect the agriculture and cultures everywhere, regulating how people interacts with the nature;
• New calendars----decide the life path according to the emission goal and annual accumulated emissions;
• Increasing the Holidays (time to rest) such as Extreme Weather Holidays.
The Action Plans
• 「 common but different responsibilities 」~ Strategies under different scales, but Common principle: Take direct responsibilities form individual to societies.
• Individuals : Transforming the life to Zero-waste style; political involvements;
• Industries and Labors : Cutting the work hours, while exploring the green energies;
• Governments : Announcing the weather holidays according to annual accumulated GHG emissions, reducing traffic and daily energy consumption.
The Action Plans• International : COP16 Campaign
– 21 hours, Lifestyle reform, reducing production, consumption and related energy using at the same TIME;
– Replacing the National identities by “Netion”, the watershed identities;
– International wildlife conservation web—giving more time and SAPCE to other life;
– The forth aspect of Biodiversity Conservation: Genetic, Species, Habitat and Ecological principles.
• Cultures : Calendars as a key part of culture, regulating humane activities. Conserve Calendar diversities
The Action Plans : New money system, Tobin Tax
• Goal : The currency decaying with time, like everything else on the world;
• Local Currencies, stopping the endless force of “monetization”
• The currencies reserve should based on renewable resources, like fresh water, soil, biodiversity, green energy; not base on gold, or military power.
Amendments to GG 21 points
• Markets need to be regulated in order to reduce the environmental footprint of our economies. Prices have to reflect the real costs including the social and ecological costs.
Amendment:• Markets need to be regulated in order to reduce
the environmental footprint of our economies. Prices can not reflect the real costs including the social and ecological loss or extinction. Money system should be reformed according to the basic necessary renewable resources like fresh water or healthy soil.
