I became interested in this idea that Rob Hopkins has been implementing in that it takes whole towns and communities in order to make a more substantial impact on reducing the amount of oil we use.
In researching this, I came across two more movements; although far more radical, are interesting in the numerous ways they think about evolving society. From architectural planning to the economy they even analyse our purpose for living and make complete overhaul plans for a new world without the reliance on any fossil fuels.
The Venus Project

So this project was initially started up by a man named Jaques Fresco and he has designed a future where people live without money and without the need for any fossil fuels.
After watching the film however, a few things didn't seem to add up or raised questions in my head. Despite this, I am interested in his idea of a total redesign of the way we live at this moment in time. He believes this is the only way we can sustain living on this planet for generations to come. However, in order for this to take place, the entire world would need to agree to this way of life for the total overhaul of living to begin.
The idea of making big decisions as a cohesive world is an interesting concept in itself especially with the way countries interact with each other at the moment. It makes you wonder what would happen to government, politics, aristocracy... as peoples' views around the world differ as to how the public should be governed.
I then found another movement called the zeitgeist movement
