We Can Do This!


We Can Do This!




It becomes imminent that I want to live and interact in a friendly environment as I grow older. It becomes evident the need for more and more creative living survival spaces – micro environments where I can truly be human.

I have been talking with a couple of friends about having swap meetups. Spaces where we can giveaway, swap, exchange, and sell useful items that we do not use. 

By starting to share, exchange, and give away items; it can help to orientate us in the direction of building community and trust.


Environments where we grow and groom respect in a festive bazaar atmosphere. And, where we can exchange ideas by having discussions and sharing of information. Where we create work and research study groups. Where community commerce takes place on many dimensions while developing social cohesion.

If we circulate things that we have, and don’t use with each other we keep usable and valuable items out of the garbage bins and land-fills. Creating swap meets, bartering, and vendor markets for People’s Fair Exchange.

Sweden is having a “recycling revolution”. 1% of their garbage does not end up in landfills. They are a country that is very resourceful with waste management.  They have waste into energy plants.

Below is links to waste management in different countries.

JEROME JOHNSON - COMMUNITY SOLAR ENERGY DEMONSTRATION HOUSE

Update: Elder Jerome Johnson has passed away. We are taken aback with sadness. There was no support for his plight in continuing to do community work. He was very angry going thru the ageing process, and his dream of building community was deferred, and ignored. It is so sad how so many elders are treated. Especially, elders like Mr. Johnson who gave so much. His wish was to have the solar house made into a museum.  Jerome Johnson! J erome Johnson is 86 years of age. He exemplifies our society’s disregard towards our ageing population. How our ageing population is treated and ignored. As throwaway items in society. Where elder citizens are told you are old and youth is new). They are not appreciated, and their life long work is disrespected and in many cases seen as irrelevant.    Mr. Johnson is a People’s pioneer in how-to create and invent for the everyday citizen and community. He developed the solar cooker in the 70s, and created a demonstrati...
