The most important element for sustainability is not energy. It is building materials with vastly increased longevity which can withstand natural disasters, is hydrophobic, fire-proof, strong enough to withstand impact, and is made from natural materials occurring across the entire world. And do not forget, this material can include no petroleum products while being extremely affordable. This last is important because we need to get the job done far sooner than any one imagined necessary.

This is the foundation of the world in which humanity can find the security to realize the dreams this past century has shredded. Those dreams can become the future we share as we build a new world for all of us.

One such building material is now being patented and will be on the market shortly. It is called Metacrete.

We need your help to shorten time, bringing people and groups together to carry out a plan which speaks to the multiple injustices done to people and our planet.

The reaction of shareholders to Exxon has told us that emotionally normal people understand why we need to take action. Many also understand why the present predatory system has brought only injustice, anger, and desperation. Many are already taking action, using materials like Metacrete those efforts become a lasting solution.

Our proposal is to start rebuilding with our eyes on the centuries ahead. We must do this both in America and around the world. Once, we were a beacon for freedom and opportunity. Today, we can be an example of how we get off the grids, reject greed, and come together as one people.

We can accomplish this by putting those most at risk, first, focusing on sustainable social justice.

Let me explain what the world can be like if we ensure this happens and how we should proceed.

At present, there is an assumption the best materials are expensive. Those now in the market, which are not usually really green anyway, are expensive and made with elements which include petrochemicals. These are falsely marketed as Green. To change this, we need a standard which allows us to see the fact these new materials, beginning with MetaCrete, are less expensive and better in every way than the faux green products now clogging the market.

When MetaCrete has done its job the world will be a different place for all of us. This is the material which will be the foundation of that world.

Each of us has our hopes for the future. Think about your own hopes as you read about what is possible.

Imagine for a moment the home where you were born. It has never been painted. The pigment went in when your great-grandparents built it. Inside it is always comfortable. Home means security and comfort to you for more reasons than any of us can imagine today.

There has never been any repairs needed though storms have sometimes taken down the trees around the house. Your parents added on once, but that is the only change. Your great-grandparents included Aquaponics and you grow a lot of your own food. Your in-home computer system monitors what has going on. Seed trades with neighbors are part of your tradition and now you grow plants from all parts of the world, keeping track of these and studying their DNA routinely. There is nothing you cannot grow locally, if you want but you often trade with neighbors as well.

In your world most kids study the magical world beyond our normal human vision as soon as they can read, or even before since they can see through the electron microscope which is now standard in homes around the world. They understand this extension of their sight. It is part of their backyard. Such technologies are natural parts of your integrated comm system, which, you understand, underwent multiple changes for a long time. You receive upgrades but these do not disrupt your activities.

Your water is recycled and comes from your cistern, built into the house and replenished by rain, naturally.

With these changes came an explosion in human creativity which also lead to understanding ourselves – and how we could be manipulated.

Energy systems took time to catch up, but now you get all the energy you need from your embedded solar and wind arrays. Nothing has been needed since your grandparents were living here, and they lived far longer than had previous generations.

The world population has been dropping for 200 years. Women finally achieved the full exercise of their natural, human rights as the world was experiencing universal freedom for the first time.

The idea of recurring costs every month is a story from the past. You have none. You care for the land, nurturing it, studying it and its microcultures. You save the time and dollar credits you get from your various projects and studies and donate some of these to projects others are carrying out you want to encourage. The age of great wealth is past, along with poverty.

Right now, you are studying the layers of paint from the works of masters created during the 1600s. Each layer fills in information on the artist and the world in which he lived. You do this with friends, one local and others around the world. You can find out about projects others are pursuing and follow those which interest you. When you were younger you were into Extreme Sports. Your own focus was diving from the stratosphere while painting complex images with your diving group.

Other members of that group went to Mars, where they still live.

You had one child, now grown but still living at home. This is a common pattern. Others build their own homes. Families stay in touch and many choose to live together or nearby. Travel became sustainable long before you were born.

Tonight you are having friends over for dinner, Preparations began a week ago with the harvest of a variation of potatoes you have been working on for some time. They taste like a combination of garlic, Vidalia onions, and butter. You enjoy traveling with your husband and your friends -sometimes. Other times you go alone.

Human understanding, without violence, began growing even before your grandparents were born. Now wars are fought by agreement and with rules – but those participating generally move on to other pursuits. War and re-enactment merged into one pursuit, fulfilling the human impulse, experienced by about 10% of the male population.

Your life is filled with variety you choose. You have lived as a woman from the 1600s in simulations carried out by the venerable SCA, and as a woman from the early 18th Century living in Appalachia. Your own lineage came through there so this was especially interesting and why you chose it.

One wall of your office shows your lineage, based on the DNA analysis begun by your great-grandparents on all lines.

One of your neighbors carves real wood objects. Right now, he is working on a desk which will look like the photo of one owned by one of his ancestral lines in the 1700s. He revived the specific variety used in the original and grew it for this purpose. Other seeds are now re-establishing the forest where the original tree was cut.

Many study the past. Others look forward. Always, you are free to choose.

The First Unexpected Step

The evidence from Housing First, which began as a measure to cut costs in Utah in 2005, showed that most people who have a secure place to live will turn themselves to positive pursuits. They may want or need treatment for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), or for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Or they may have disabilities. But these are far easier to handle if they have a home. Utah noticed this and the information trickled through to others.

Homes should come first as we care for everyone.

Therefore, our proposal is to begin with those in need through all causes. But first, we should provide homes, schools and hospitals. Veterans, young mothers, the elderly and disabled, college students who cannot afford a place to live, those homeless for other reasons, especially those who lost their homes to the greed of corporations, such as the mortgage fraud must come first. Also included, refugees from war and those in other countries who have inadequate homes or no home at all.

There are many out there working on these needs, for instance Habitat for Humanity and BuildOn. What if all of us began using a material, like MetaCrete, which solves the problem, demonstrates the possibility for homes which then become places for people to solve their other problems? Temporary homes wear out. These homes are permanent.

What if the celebrities among us call on recalcitrant authorities who are more interested in control than in ensuring houses are built for those who need them?

As we build we will be moving away from petroleum and toward a sustainable world where war does not motivate greed. Every house built then moves us toward a sustainable human culture and to peace with the Earth and each other.

What if we come together to help those in need and by doing so bring peace?

Specifications and technical information.

3D Printing fot homes is now available. The cost is tiny compared to the benefit all of us will realize. We have estimates for multiple costs, including for building, remediation of polluted land, and more. Rammed earth technologies, precast, Shotcrete and other technologies were also considered and could be used with the MetaCrete. This form of material, which utilizes Kaolin and other minerals, is believed to be ancient in human usage in less advanced forms. MetaCrete is processed to the nano level and combines

Our project geologist knows where every reservoir of appropriate minerals is located along with other essential resources.
