Statement for Adapting to Habitat Change
Pouchulu architect
The following are six essential commands to stop destroying our planet and adapting to what is left:
1- Let's avoid car-based urbanizations, limiting the use of cars to countryside trips; walking, bikes, trams, and steam trains can save what's left of the landscape.
2- To promote wood and organic fabrics instead of plastic in Habitat, furniture and packaging, also in clothing, tools and toys.
3- To promote analogue techniques, prioritising real drawings, prints, books, films, records, stimulating tact, flavour, hearing, sight, harmonics; they are recyclable and ecological.
4- To get food from around where we live. About 30% of global pollution will be gone when the majority of comestibles are produced in or around each city. New trans-oceanic vessel ships will set sail again, transporting selected items around the globe.
5- To limit the use of the Internet, "social networks", like any net, were designed to catch victims, to monitor and control people's behaviour, suffocating our liberty by saturating our mind with useless news and data.
6- I propose small Broadcities in resilient prairies, forests and deserts; consumerist habits will be gone. Professions will be replaced by métiers. Life will focus in educating children in the arts, geometry, science, freedom and individual responsibility.
