Under the aspects of expanding the efficiency of human potential and individual satisfaction, WE HAVE...
- to change practical politics into a transparent lawgiver with equal basics
- we have to multiply the dynamic of individual involvement in political systems
- one should no longer be able to build the means of existence out of a political career
- to change market into a fair and useful constitution of trade
- we have do decentralize its might
- the development and spreading of digital fabricators (fabbers) has to be forced by law (why? have a look at the video)
- pseudo-requirements have to be discovered and eliminated
- to change society into a clear, veritable and permissive band of mankind
- we have to create a whole new way of consciousness, that is built on trust and thoughts of liberty instead of fear, opacity and mistrust
- investing in balanced and progressive education means growth of global and individual wealth and drop of the average birthrate
- to change our understanding of food "usage"
- eating is more than just satisfying hunger
- radical reduction of animalistic food would reduce hunger, environmental pollution and consumption of land and fresh water
- come clean about our humdrum death cult
- to change the danger from generation of energy into save and clean lines
- "Ecotropolis"
- to build a city based on the thoughts of consistently green intentions
- "Fabbing"

To save the world we have to:
- Stop eating beef! The cow is guilty
- it will help to reduce the global warming: Cows are methane-making machines
- no more deforestation (and no more McDonals): 70 percent of previous forested land in the Amazon is occupied by pastures, and feedcrops cover a large part of the remainder.
- no more wasting and polluting water: 4,500 gallons of water to produce a cut of 300 gr. beef.
- It could even help with people´s excess weight
- Let the earth to follow her own work (against overpopulation)
- Diseases, plagues
- Natural Disasters
- Understand natural balance
- Social Inequality (everything could be worst)
Georgios Karagiorgos
- Saving the world should be practiced by every each of us
It's important to change our behavior, and this will lead to changes to market as well as to the whole economic system. But this needs to be initiated along with policy making. The sectors one needs to work on are... 1. Education (through the educational system young people will get informed about the urgent situation, as well as about how they can help) 2. Control of birth rates 3. Change food habits to more vegetarian ones (save resources that are needed in the case of the production of met) 4. Cut down on every kind of consumption (products, energy)/ find alternative, cheper, more eco-friendly wys to cover needs, avoid lifestyle 5. Invest on alternative energy sources 5. 1.
