Simply stated, the WATER FARM is a complex of interrelated systems utilizing many successful time-proven technologies that have been configured specifically to produce a single stand-alone system capable of being fully operational without any requirements for outside energy sources. It does this by utilizing almost 100% of the sun's radiant energy, processing and purifying literally millions of cubic feet of atmospheric air in a single day of operation, while extracting viable quantities of ultra-pure water in addition to a marketable surplus of electrical energy and other commercially viable products.

One of the biggest problems of present society is the effect of overall change and acceleration on human psychology. Neither individual minds nor collective culture seem able to cope with the unpredictable change and growing complexity. Stress, uncertainty and frustration increase, minds are overloaded with information, knowledge fragments, values erode, negative developments are consistently overemphasized, while positive ones are ignored. The resulting climate is one of nihilism, anxiety and despair. While the wisdom gathered in the past has lost much of its validity, we don't have a clear vision of the future either. As a result, there does not seem to be anything left to guide our actions.

The Internet is considered by many to be the global infrastructure of the information society, the most critical piece of the economic, social and cultural foundation of our time. Internet governance can be used to gain a sustainable and freer future, with less poverty and a cleaner environment as long it is not stifled by regulators who are ill equipped to regulate a global community with needs unique to each local, socio-economic, and geographic User. Governance has been on the international agenda for a relatively short time, starting when ICANN was created in 1998.
As the Internet has matured various methods and trials for governing digital communities are now common place, most especially in virtual worlds like 2nd Life, and also in more conventional communities such as eBay or MySpace. With the coming of even greater experiments in Internet Governance are tried, such as the FDU ( Free Digital Universe) "Digitatorship", we expect this issue to become a high priority of International regulatory bodies. Competing regulatory entities from countries who are also competing for trade surpluses, are a big part of why we have a global environmental crisis on our hands in the first place. Read More »

Poverty is a seemingly complex issue; there are many various causes that create conditions of poverty such as lack of education, natural conditions of drought or flooding, and corruption. However complex, there is a single issue that more than any other condition that perpetuates a spiral of ever increasing poverty in the third world, that issue is "use of debt money." Read More »

While a tailored Performa can be supplied for any micro-climate on the planet, this Performa is specific to the areas of the Western United States desert regions, Mexico, and sub tropical Pacific regions.
We have formulated the presentation in the spirit of applying ecologically sensitive and silviculturally sound practices to generate sustained profitability and rapid return on investment. In the absence of a formal site survey, we have drawn upon our broad resources in the field and applied conservative estimates for all elements, most notably the tree growth and revenue generation data. We are confident the performance represented is realistic, yet cautious.
It is our desire to craft our association as a profit center enterprise in a joint venture with prospective partners. It is envisioned that partners would provide land and seed capital; and PRP provide expertise in Paulownia plant genetics, agroforestry management, and timber products marketing. The opportunity to generate equitable profit through timber farming is both timely and germane to the global urgency for redirecting otherwise unproductive or problematic land into an environmentally supportive role. The opportunity to build an admirably profitable enterprise on this high ground is truly a pleasure to share with you. Read More »

A tree in a community is a blessing and gift for all life, current and future; it is a source of beauty, an air purifier, a heat modifier, a soil stabilizer, a wildlife habitat and has many other benefits which we will explore. If you would like to start growing trees in your community, Visit SAFE in the Partners section of the Peace Portal website.
Trees reduce topsoil erosion, prevent harmful land pollutants contained in the soil from getting into our waterways, slow down water run-off, phyto-remediates infected lands, provides shade, decrease energy usage, and ensure that our breathing air is continually being replenished. Read More »

Francis Ayley established over a dozen local currencies in the UK before moving to the U.S. He contrasts our standard, scarcity- and debt-based money system with local currencies in which "there's always as much as you need."
Local currencies like his Fourth Corner Exchange issue money when members trade goods and services. Communities with local currencies will be less affected when recession or depression hits the mainstream economy.
