Village Earth is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to promoting sustainable, community-based development around the world by providing innovative training, consultation, appropriate technology information, and project support services. Village Earth was born in 1993 at an International Conference on Sustainable Village-Based Development in Fort Collins, Colorado, where more than 300 participants from 30 nations created the Consortium for Sustainable Village-Based Development (CSVBD) and gave it the mandate to implement and train others in the strategies discussed during the conference. Since its inception Village Earth has trained and consulted with hundreds of individuals and organizations in countries such as Nepal, Bangladesh, India, Azerbaijan, Indonesia, Bosnia, Nigeria, Namibia, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Mexico, Columbia, and elsewhere. Values We believe that communities must be empowered to access and manage the resources they need to be self-sufficient and sustainable. We trust and value the ability of local communities to shape and create their own vision for the future, as well as the path to move toward it. We believe that transparency and participatory decision-making is central to the goal of social justice and sustainability. We believe that working toward ecological sustainability must be a priority for all societies to ensure peace and prosperity for all peoples. We appreciate and respect the diversity and differences among our constituents and our collaborators.
Around the globe, Village Earth is allying with communities that wish to determine their own futures. Through our empowerment approach, Village Earth works with communities as they direct their own path of change and work toward a sustainable future. Village Earth has allied with Lakota families on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota; the Shipibo Nation in Peru’s Amazon Basin; tribal communities in West Bengal, India; Mayan communities in Guatemala; and disadvantaged neighborhoods in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

This is a tribute to the sacred weekend I spent with a circle of empowered kindred family.
I deeply appreciate each and every soul that choose to “BE” there.
This joyful retreat, lead by Julia Mikk, was about bringing our “core being” fully into the present moment and is activating the new paradigm in the human physical experience.

Awakening As One exists for the sole purpose of inspiring and encouraging humanity to make the intelligent choice to unite and live for the peace and harmony of all, rather than for the material gain of the self.
Awakening As One commits the total sum of its available resources and creativity into the furtherance of the immediate divine objective for humanity and planet earth; which include 1) uniting those who hold a vision for a more harmonious existence, and 2) combining our diverse, yet complimentary skills, so that we may free ourselves from our dependency on our current self-destructive system, and thereby 3) begin the co-creation of a new harmonious Way of BEing, with each other… and the Earth.
Here is a quote from Huffinton Post in February 2010:
The Bloom Box launch was praised by representatives from major companies and officials including Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The much anticipated Bloom Energy product launch included details on the Bloom Box, essentially a power plant in a box. The California start-up claims it is a major breakthrough in clean energy technology.
Schwarzenegger said at the Bloom Box launch that 160 years ago people flocked to California for the gold rush and that same spirit is alive in Bloom Energy’s Bloom Box.
This new “BloomBox” has a huge potential and many high profile investors have already lined up. Months ago Colin Powel was voted onto the board.
Here a bit from the www.Bloomenergy.com website talking about what is a Bloom Energy Server?
Built with our patented solid oxide fuel cell technology, Bloom’s Energy Server™ is a new class of distributed power generator, producing clean, reliable, affordable electricity at the customer site.
Fuel cells are devices that convert fuel into electricity through a clean electro-chemical process rather than dirty combustion. They are like batteries except that they always run. Our particular type of fuel cell technology is different than legacy “hydrogen” fuel cells in four main ways:
Low cost materials – our cells use a common sand-like powder instead of precious
metals like platinum or corrosive materials like acids.
High electrical efficiency – we can convert fuel into electricity at nearly twice the
rate of some legacy technologies
Fuel flexibility – our systems are capable of using either renewable or fossil fuels
Reversible – our technology is capable of both energy generation and storage
Each Bloom Energy Server provides 100kW of power, enough to meet the baseload needs of 100 average homes or a small office building… day and night, in roughly the footprint of a standard parking space. For more power simply add more energy servers.
In the developing world, access to incubators is limited by cost and distance, and millions of premature babies die each year. TED Fellow Jane Chen shows an invention that could keep millions of these infants warm — a design that’s safe, portable, low-cost and life-saving.
The Structured Water Unit truly is amazing technology that uses an advanced understanding of vortex phenomenon, utilizing the dynamic characteristic of water and geometric structures that allow the water to work upon itself on the molecular level to create naturally balanced water. Water is the machine. No moving parts or chemicals. Totally pure. Just like water running down a beautiful river. A great way to rehydrate! It’s also helps you create a green environment for a greener carbon footprint.
Dismayed by the low nutrient density of high priced produce, Roger Daggett describes some of the unexpected results of using Clayton Nolte’s water structuring technology at his Arizona greenhouse.
Adam Abraham speaks with Clayton Nolte, inventor of the Photonic Water structuring device, about comparative tests that confirm higher energy levels within the water sample after a structuring event.
SolarEnurgy.net is powered completely by solar, wind and renewable energy to the tune of 130% of the data center power consumption, so we're not only neutralizing our carbon footprint, but also pumping an extra 30% of green energy back into the power grid! A light footprint.
