PROJECT EVO

There's a lot that seems to be 'wrong' with the world. It's pretty clear that we humans have trashed the environment pretty badly so far. We've cut down the rainforests and jungles, we've poisoned the rivers, seas and oceans, we've sucked out half the oil and a massive amount of precious minerals, gasses, metals and other resources - all within the span of a few hundred years. A blink of an eye in Earths xx billion year history. We've trashed our home.

Twenty thousand people a day die of hunger, unnecessarily. The world seems highly unjust, with a tiny portion of the population 'owning' the vast majority of the earth's resources, and billions in poverty. The freedom of information and speech made possible via advances in technology - and the resulting worldwide access to this information in videos, images, and words - has resulted in an awareness and curiosity about why the world is the way it is.

Why is the world in such an unsustainable, violent, and unjust state? How did we get here? What are the global power structures that have determined our evolutionary path in the last few hundred years? How can we quickly and effectively shift to a more evolved world? How can we as individuals make a difference? How can we collaborate to get ourselves out of this mess before it's too late?

Project Evo is about recognizing that our current environmental and humanitarian crisis is a wake up call. It's an invitation to all of us to wake up, reflect on why things are the way they are, come to an educated and logical understanding of the challenges we face ~ and to commit to being a part of the solution to those challenges. To chart our evolutionary course, we begin with the question of where we'd like to go. What's our destination? What kind of a world would we love to live in? It's time to build a shared vision for humanity and life on planet Earth.

If our objective (and need?) is a more sustainable world, an obvious place to look for examples is sustainability centers / models. Eco or sustainable tourism, lodges, resorts, villages, and city centers are great starting points. Thousands of sustainability projects exist that have demonstrated harmonious living with nature in inspirational and practical ways that can be replicated.

Let's identify and empower individuals and enterprises that offer solutions for financial and exchange systems like barter and bitcoin, clean energy technologies like solar power, batteries, and efficient appliances, experts in natural health and medicine, permaculture farmers, eco architects, creative producers of sustainable products, holistic teachers, and other evolutionary wizards. Let's learn from and engage with all the sustainability and evolutionary knowledge and technology experts from around the world. Let's support and celebrate these real life solutions to our common challenges, and help spread them as far and wide as possible. The solutions to our shared challenges exist. We just have to find them, connect them, and empower them. And when we say 'them' we mean us.

A key part of the philosophy behind project evo resides in the truth that we are all one. We are different, and we are one. Unity in diversity. We will forgive, and we might forget, but we will stand for evolution. We will fight to protect our earth and our brothers and sisters, but we will not fight with violence. We're not here to fight anyone ~ we're here to band together, commit, and collaborate on evolving our world to reflect the shared wishes and visions of humanity.

Project Evo's hypothesis is that by identifying, connecting and supporting local and global pioneers with city based hubs and regional evo villages to collaborate in supplying people around the world with evolutionary and sustainable knowledge, tools, products and services that we can begin using regularly towards creating a net positive impact environmentally, socially, and spiritually, we can empower humanity to shift to a sustainable existence and thrive.
