INDIGENOUS RESTORATIVE ECONOMICS

Saint Francis And The Sow The bud stands for all things, even for those things that don't flower, for everything flowers, from within, of self-blessing; though sometimes it is necessary to reteach a thing its loveliness, to put a hand on its brow of the flower and retell it in words and in touch it is lovely until it flowers again from within, of self-blessing; Galway Kinnel |

EMERGING FUTURE OF MEDICINE:
Proactive P4 medicine
|
* PREDICTIVE * PREVENTIVE
* PERSONALIZED * PARTICIPATORY |
In 1997, the Danish Island of Samsø, won a government competition to become a model renewable energy community. Now 100% of its electricity comes from wind power. |
EIGG
Eigg’s pioneering community buy-out ushered in land reform in Scotland, giving islanders control of their future for the first time. Among other achievements, Eigg has the first completely wind, water and sun-powered electricity grid in the world.

EL HIERRO
El Hierro is the westernmost of the Canary Islands.
In 1997, El Hierro was the first in the Canary Islands to adopt a sustainable development plan to protect its environmental and cultural richness, prompting UNESCO to declare the entire island a biosphere reserve in 2000. El Hierro now has five wind turbines with a combined installed capacity of 11.5 megawatts soon to provide the majority of the electricity for the island. When wind production exceeds demand, excess energy will pump water from a reservoir at the bottom of a volcanic cone to another reservoir at the top of the volcano 700 meters above sea level. The upper reservoir stores over 132 million gallons of water. The stored water acts as a battery. When demand rises and there is not enough wind power, the water will be released to four hydroelectric turbines with a total capacity of 11 MW. http://blog.rmi.org/blog_2014_02_13_high_renewables_ tomorrow_today_el_hierro_ canary_islands |
