solarpunk Everret Green (tour)
@mitsos, @ulisse, @mattb325, @ByeByeBayou, @mrsmartman, @Schulmanator, @Manuel-ito, @Raymond7cn and @TogaMasterJohn, thank you very much for your likes, comments and follows 
I was born in 14/12/1984 and I've been a Simtropolis member since 13/12/2008. Yes, I tried to coincide them when I was singing up, but I missed it for a day 
. Anyway, being 36 years old and a Simtropolis member for 12 years (which membership covers the one third of my life! 
) is still a big day for me, so let me celebrate it by giving you a gift. A very special entry of my city journal. What makes it special is the amount of time and details I put on our new town, including a more realistic (I hope 
) and with more variant landscape. The two previous entries had only two kind of flora, the Maxis deciduous trees and the @Pegasus pines. Those trees are back, but this time we'll also have bushes, flowers, other small flora, rocks, logs, and even dead trees. From now I'll try to make my landscapes more detailed and realistic and I think I'll need your help to do that. Consider it a team project 
Now, let's go back to Fairview and meet our new town, Everret Green. Named after the German word eber which means "wild boar", Everret Green is right next to Daphnerose, and its layout, which is a mix of organic and grid style, makes it look more like something between a triangle and a heart. Don't forget that the shapes and the layouts of our towns are shaped by the topography of the local landscape, in order to reduce their environmental footprint and even make good use of the local environment. Why removing a river, when you can let it work for you? Why fighting something, when you can use it for your benefit?
And this is the transportation map of Fairview, with Dawnville, Daphnerose and Everret Green for now. I use the Transportation Map Modd For Color Blind by @BannanaPeppers, because I like the bright colors and the addition of the streets on the map. For now the only transportation systems we have are the main road (yellow), streets (white) and the magnetic railroad (blue). And of course the flexible underground pods system (more for it soon), which is obviously absent from the map. No avenues, no highways. As you can see, I've expanded the magnetic railroad to the rest of the part of the region which is going to be colonized (purple), because building the railroad at the same time with the towns increases the probability of making a huge construction error, leading to a big mess. This is why it's so important to think forward and plan ahead, as I said before on our previous entry.
And, this is it. Welcome to Fairview once again. Welcome to Everret Green. A small town of the future, with advanced computers, Artificial Intelligence (AI), holograms, vertical farms, flexible public transportation systems, 3D printers, solar-powers smart homes, and a lot of trees everywhere. Who said that the cities of tomorrow should be like Night City from Cyberpunk 2077? 
Let's get closer.
That's a lot of trees, don't you thing? So many tall trees that you need to see the town from every angle, or else you'll miss so many small buildings overshadowed by pines and redwoods. But look more carefully. This time you can also see a lot of flowers and other details outside of Everret Green.
Just like in Dawnville and Daphnerose, not the entire area has been colonized and developed. A very large part of it is part of a hill and a large body of water, so the only way to colonize it is by excessive terraforming and natural destruction, which is out of question. There is no reason to do that. We don't want to choke nature. We want to coexist with it. We want islands of civilization in a vast ocean of wilderness, instead of the opposite one. We want cities to think, nature to breath, and animals and humans to be free.
Besides, don't you love it when you can get out of your house and explore the forest, smell the flowers, breath some fresh air, feel the grass on your feet, watch the bears from safe distance, listen to the birds, sit on a rock to think, and just relax under the shadow of a tree? Of course spending time with friends in cyberspace and having fun with holographic games and virtual shows are always welcomed, and Fairview has something for everyone. But nothing beats the joy of feeling one with the nature.
Let's go now even closer and have a better look at Everret Green's districts. This is the main, central area. This is where all the civic services, the spiritual temple, the central computer, the skyfarms, the domed parks, and most of the commercial and industrial buildings are located.
This is one of the two mostly residential areas, with the water tower, the mayor's house and some shops and offices.
And here is the other residential area, with some shops, factories and trail paths.
Ready for a little tour to Everret Green? Alright, let's go. First, let's explore the central district of the town, at which we'll find so many things to see, so we'll need to stay here for a while.
When entering the town from Daphnerose, the very first thing you'll see is the very first commercial tower in the region, located at the central commercial zone of Everret Green. This zone provides most of the goods and services that the citizens need, and you can get them on foot, with bicycle or any other futuristic personal transportation system, by bus, by your electric and autonomous car, or by the underground transportation network. You can hit the road or the street, or the trail path you can see behind of the tower, that connects homes with shops and provides a neat way to walk and go exercise. You can also see some small parks at some of the sides of it. Alternative, if you're sick or out and about, just check their cyber-shops and make the order. Soon, a drone with small ion engines (more info for it soon) will pay a visit at your house or wherever you are right now with whatever you have ordered.
The workers at the tower must have a very beautiful view to the Fairview forest 
Another view of the central commercial zone. Here you can see some homes, a part of the magnetic railroad, and the trail path of that area. Trail paths are not uncommon. They're a more healthy and eco-friendly way to move around, decreasing the need of cars. Look closely under the elevated magnetic railroad and you'll see a trail path too, with some bikers riding their bicycles, while having an AI-controlled magnetic train traveling right above their heads. More and more jobs in Fairview are under the guidance of Artificial Intelligence and operated by robots to free men and women, to liberate them from enforced servitude and slavery, to allow them pursuing the meaning of life and higher things and ideals, and live a life rich in spiritual and physical experiences. Who said that the meaning of life should be working on a boring and meaningless job?
And another view of the trail path. We can also see here a domed park, the police and fire stations and the cultural museum of Everret Green. We'll be visiting them very soon.
Right next to the commercial zone is the primary (or "elementary") school, using augmented reality holograms and interactive tele-education systems, not only to fill the children's minds with up-to-date and free-from-bias knowledge with fun ways, but most important to teach them how to think, how to use their mind to become active and responsible thinkers, instead of passive and irresponsible idiots. As Jiddu Krishnamurti said, "education is not only learning from books, memorizing some facts, but also learning how to look, how to listen to what the books are saying, whether they are saying something true or false".
Next to the school is the Everret Green's library, which has both physical and digital books for everyone to read. Digital books are always available at the Cybernet (the future evolution of the Internet) and can be downloaded and stored even in a small nanochip, so an entire and always up-to-dated encyclopedia of knowledge, full of images and interactive multimedia, can fit on your little finger. However, physical books have not been thrown away. They are always kept and stored safely like a treasure, as a heritage for the next generations to enjoy them. Each library on Fairview has its own collection of physical books, so not all of them are in one single building. For instance, Daphnerose's library has plenty of old astronomy and science fiction books (like A Brief History of Time and The War of the Worlds), while Dawnville's one has a great collection of environmental books and fairy tales (like Silent Spring and Aesopica). Books are a link of the evolutionary chain of information. From genes to brain, to books, to computers, to who know what's next. But books are here to stay. Even if something apocalyptic happens and all advanced technologies fails, the heritage of the books will still stay alive, functioning as storehouses of our past memories and future visions. Recipes that, if used wisely, can change the world.
Besides, nothing can beat the smell of an old good book
Another view of our educational and commercial corner. From here we can also see some homes, the spiritual temple, the central computer, the clinic, the domed parks, the two skyfarms, and a small part of our main industrial area.
And another view of this area. Look closely and we'll see a small trail path between the homes and the factories, and the secondary (or "high") school.
The black building is the secondary/high school, that teaches more sophisticated things to teenagers. Now, we all know that a human's brain become more and more capable of understanding more advanced concepts as it grows up, so we tend to teach very simple things to our kids when they're very young. However, children are smarter and more capable to learn more sophisticated concepts and ideas than we believe. Jacque Fresco can gives us an example of how to teach a little babe to use buttons and switches to communicate with his parents.
So with the right tools and strategies of actual, honest and scientific education, even the youngest children can learn everything. Heck, we can even teach general relativity and quantum physics to a babe! And I'm not kidding!
So, if a modern baby can learn quantum physics and general relativity at the kindergartens of today by books, what a teenager of the future, with access to interactive tele-education, holograms, robotics and quantum computers, can learn at the secondary/high schools of tomorrow? We can't even imagine! But what we should imagine and hope is learning not only how our world and ourselves work, but also how to use those knowledge to better themselves and become free thinkers, questioning the authority, and protecting their minds and souls from the darkness of fear, hate, control, power lust, and stupidity.
And the secondary/high school of Everret Green, which is just next to this domed playground with the small basketball court close to it, can help with that.
Dawnville and Daphnerose have plenty of open space parks, but Everret Green is the very first town in Fairview that introduces enclosed domed parks. Originally made for the Martian colonies, those parks (like this one on the main road and right next to the covered by the trees clinic) provides an alternative, safer, and more technological way to spend some time relaxing and having some fun. Having their interiors warm in winter and cool in summer, those parks provides a nice place to sit and talk to somebody, have a picnic or play a game, all in a controllable environment, instead of being exposed to the elements of nature. Kids can play football without losing their ball every single time, and adults can telework there without having the wind blowing their recyclable papers all the time. It's even possible to have an underground enclosed garden right under of a domed playground. Those parks are also equipped with very realistic holograms, so they can also be used for festivals or outdoor gaming. You can't fly a kite or feed sparrows inside of those parks, but you can do other things. For instance, imagine yourself being a kid, paying a visit to the domed park, only to find one of your friends having a hologram of the Solar System inside the dome, calling you to play the astronauts. You agree and the entire interior chances into a virtual spaceship or a planetary surface. Have fun 
Hmm, I wonder how playing SimCity, Super Mario or Doom would look like in those domed parks 
And this is the Everret Green's central computer, with a small domed garden right next to it. You've read before than human brain is more sophisticated and flexible that we usually tend to think, but the world and the systems that consist of it are so complex that even the most advanced biological brains can't deal with all of this information and calculations. It's just too much. This is why we need each other, but sometimes even that isn't enough. What we need is a powerful ally, an assistant. And there is no better one (aside from each other) than Artificial Intelligence. The central computer of Everret Green houses a sophisticated AI, that replace most of the mayor's work and brain power with electronic equipment and a network of quantum computers, which examines and manipulates multiple concepts at the same time, and gives instructions and solutions far more efficiently than all of the city advisors together. This is the beginning of Cybernation, the linking of computers with robots, AIs and other automated systems, that coordinate most of the machinery and equipment that serve Everret Green, like the magnetic train we saw before. And to ensure the efficient operation of the city’s various functions, all of the processes and services are equipped with electronic environmental feedback sensors. These sensors are coordinated with redundant, back-up systems that operate in the event of failure or breakdown of the city’s primary systems. And the aim of this powerful tool is not to control the citizens by telling them what to do and what to think, but to help people (including the mayor and the advisors of the town) to make better decisions based on actual data, while liberating them from filthy, repetitious, boring, dangerous and mind breaking jobs.
Why working hard, when you can work smart and with friends, both physical and digital? 
Cyberpunk paints a horrible future with a very high technological level but also a very low spiritual one. Solarpunk totally disagrees with that, but it's not the total opposite of it. It's not about high spirituality but low technology. It supports that a responsible use of a high technological level should be used as a powerful tool to live in harmony with nature and obtain a high spiritual level for everybody. New technologies can increase free time, unlock the mysteries of the Cosmos, and bring people together in a big global family. Temples like this one provides a quiet place for everybody to pray, to medicate, to let her/his spirit relax and relief. Those temples doesn't belong to any organized religion, so don't be surprised if you find Christians and Muslims pray together like friends. Religion fundamentalism has no place here. Next to the temple we'll find the town's clinic, equipped with futuristic technologies like robotics, tele-medicine and genetic therapies, to cure the body, the vehicle of the soul. We don't know what exactly the soul is, but one day we'll find the answer. Let's hope that we'll use this knowledge wisely and responsibly, to improve our life and help each other, physically and spiritually.
Of course we can't talk about spirituality with empty bellies. We just can't. Food is vital, but the modern ways of agriculture doesn't have the high efficiency and the low environmental footprint we need to feed the people. The ordinary flat farming belongs to the past. What we need is vertical farming. Vertical farms, like this one, are indoors and provide a fully controllable environment to the plants, without being exposed to illnesses, pests and bad weather. The plants are planted at the outer part of the levels of the building to receive enough sunlight from big enough windows. When necessary, the entire levels can rotate to ensure that the plant will keep receiving all the light they need. Robots and drones of different sizes can test and grab fruits and vegetables, and move them where they’re needed. The AI of the skyfarm collaborates with the vertical farmers and the AI of the central computer of Everret Green, to provide and receive feedbacks, and manages all the variables of heat, light and water, continually optimizing, and even learning by itself, how to grow faster, bigger, better crops. Nothing is wasted here. Water lost by transpiration is recaptured and reused. Since all the action takes place inside a tall building, vertical farms can be constructed even in the middle of a city, and produces better fruits and vegetables while using 95% less water and 99% less land. All the above, while using solar energy from a big panel the farm has at its roof.
Another view of the skyfarm. Look closely and you'll find buzzards flying around above our green futuristic town. By the way, there is also a building in between of the domed playground with the basketball court and the main road. I have no idea what this building is suppose to do and I plop it just to feel this gap, so feel free to give it a purpose and imagine what this building could be.
And look. Another trail path
Across the main road are the police and the fire stations, keeping Everret Green safe and secured. Today we still need the police to keep the peace, but police brutality and racism is the last thing we need. This is why more and more people suggest to defund the police. But defunding the police doesn't mean eliminating the police, that would be catastrophic in a modern society than actually allows and even encourages crime. It means a reassessment of law enforcement methods and priorities, emphasizing accountability, enacting reforms ("He who opens a school door, closes a prison" as Victor Hugo said) and redirecting resources where appropriate, thereby refocusing (and even increasing the efficiency) on the mission to help and protect.
In the future, with so many radical changes in our social and technological structures that are going to be happening, with a complete redesign of our culture and an immediate upgrade of our way of thinking (because even the most stubborn ideas can't last forever), nobody will have reasons to kill, steal and sell drugs, nor will be there homeless people and terrorists. In the future we are right now at Fairview, the police of Everret Green and the entire region doesn't have the role of the boogeyman, but the role of the rescuer, the diplomat, the advisor, the friend, the cool big brother who helps his family. Somebody you can trust, like a close friend and family member.
And if we take this trail path...
...we'll find the cultural museum of Everret Green, where local artists can put on display their creations and talk about them. Those creations can be anything, from paints with natural colors to sculptures made by nanosynthetic materials.
If we keep exploring the central district by going south this time, we'll find the industrial zone of Everret Green. Robots and 3D printers, all directed by AIs and human technicians, produces a variety of useful goods, such as tools and furniture. All the factories at Everret Green are efficient and environmental friendly, creating useful items without using too much resources and without producing smoke and waste. The industrial zone also houses small laboratories and warehouses, and there's also a second skyfarm, this one made to experiment with new technologies and goals, such as using aeroponics to produce high quality vegetables that taste amazing while eliminating all plant stress.
At the outskirts of Everret Green, where nature meets civilization, we'll find small natural parks, tables for relaxation and picnics, parking lots for the citizens' electric autonomous cars, free-for-use cabins, and observation towers which can be used as fire watch towers and bird watching platforms. In this picture you'll also see a bus stop. One of the many we have here. There are plenty of bus stops on Everret Green, just like at the rest of Fairview, providing faster and safer transportation means while reducing the need of car. And, of course we'll have picnic tables in high tech industrial zones too. Workers need some rest too, you know.
Another corner of the industrial zone, with an observation tower, warehouses, artificial photosynthesis laboratories, and a research antenna for studying the impacts of 7G to the local natural environment and public health under the most strictly standards. So far so good. By the way, 7G is the new generation standard for wireless communication technologies, which are even faster and with even larger range than 6G, even to the point of supporting extra-planetary communications with Lunar and orbital colonies, and even paving the road of researching Nicola Tesla's ultimate vision, wireless transmission of electric energy. Let me put it this way. If 5G was about high speed streaming of information and Internet of Things, and if 6G was about holograms and machine-to-mind interactions by satellites, then 7G right now is about global electric network and Earth-to-Moon communications. This is not the end however. A new generation, 8G, is right now under development, that aims to make possible new applications in Earth-to-Mars communications and even the under-development concept of cybernetic brain-to-brain telepathy for the new generation of cyborgs! Of course we have cyborgs. We're in the future!
Most of the subway stations are located on the main road and at the magnetic railroad stations, but there are also 3 of them at the very outskirts of Everret Green, all of the next small parks like the ones we saw before. Those specific stations have a beautiful earthy color and design, and their base is surrounded by stones to make them blend with the natural environment, thus reducing the visual pollution they might cause. We'll find the rest two of them as we keep exploring the town. Oh, speaking about subways, don't expect big ordinary trains like those we have today. The subway trains of Fairview are more like personal rapid transit units, pods that work like taxi-train hybrids. In other words, imagine this...
...but underground.
Let's go now to the west district of Everret Green. This area is mostly residential, with only a few shops and a couple of laboratories.
As you can see, this area follows a more organic layout instead of grid, with smooth curves and diagonal streets. Sadly there are very few diagonal fillers to cover the jagged sidewalk, and non of them can be used on sloped terrain without having overhanged props diving below or flying above them.
But this area also has some extra trail paths for walking and cycling. Don't you love it when you're going to your job or a friend's house on foot, surrounded by so many pines and redwoods?
Not all of the homes are next to the streets. Some of them are in the middle of the trail paths.
This is the second outer subway station, surrounded by rocks at its base and having right next to it a small park with a simple parking lot.
This industrial building is a high enthalpy wind tunnel. Those buildings are used for the measurement of the aerodynamical behavior of spaceships during the re-entry in the atmosphere. For the wind tunnel experiment, a piston builds up a high pressure that is supposed to burst a metallic plate with a predetermined breaking point. Due to the shape of the wind tunnel, the shockwave that is created when the plate bursts is transformed into a uniform stream. When this shockwave reaches the model of the spaceship, it is possible to run a laser measurement for the tenth part of a second in order to study the aerodynamics. This wind tunnel is extensively used for fundamental and applied research applied to planetary atmospheric entry, such as fundamental research of high enthalpy fluid dynamic phenomena in non-equilibrium flows, plasma dynamics, experimental data base on planetary atmospheric entries, aerodynamic and aerothermal behavior of probes and models, and atmospheric entry of space debris like asteroids and other space junk. All those researches can then be used to provide useful improvements in safety and efficiency to interplanetary spacecrafts, hypersonic passenger airplanes and commercial spaceplanes.
By the way, fancy playing some tennis?
Let's go now to the second residential zone. We can get there on foot, by bicycle, by car, by bus, by subway pods, or by magnetic high speed trains.
Just like every town we have visited, Everret Green has two central train stations. These are not simple stations, though. They're transport hubs that includes train station, subway pods station and bus stop, all at the same building and under the same roof. By the way, look closely and you'll find bikers moving around at the trail paths right under the magnetic rail tracks.
So take your bike or the train...
...follow the tracks...
..and now you're at the other residential area.
This area also utilizes a grid style of street network with bus stops in every intersection, and has so many tall trees that can cover entire houses, thus providing some extra privacy to the residents.
Just like the rest of the towns at Fairview, all houses at Everret Green are made by synthetic materials with memory characteristics (no more bricks and cement), follow the modular and flexible Barsoomian utilitarianism for faster and safer construction, reconstruction and deconstruction (no more monolithic designs), and are equipped with sophisticated and environmental friendly technologies such as AIs, robots, auto-repairing systems, sensors, solar panels and solar windows, long-live batteries for emergency situations, rain water cleaning and recycling system, nano-organic composting devices, walls that act like monitors too, and advanced augmented reality systems, all providing the best level of comfort and safety possible, at the lowest energy and environmental cost possible.
At this area well find the mayor's house, coming with a small park right next to it, and two statues that follows the Barsoomian sculpture style.
And this is our third and final subway pods station at the outskirt of the town, next to a cabin and a small picnic field. Don't you like it when you disembark from your subway pod, get on the ground and take a deep breath of fresh air, in a mountain-looking station?
Every town has to deal with garbage, but landfills and old school incinerators are out of questions because of the high amounts of pollution they bring. This is why Fairview needs enough recycling centers and green waste-to-energy incinerators to deal with the trash. Right now, only Dawnville has a sophisticated and integrated enough trash management facility to provide its services to Daphnerose and Everret Green as well. But deploying noisy and gazoline-powered garbage trucks, that contribute to traffic jam and air pollution in the time consuming process of collecting so many trash from an entire town, emitting reek and exposing the trash collectors in biohazards, is not a solution. What we need is an underground automated waste collection system, that uses vacuum pressure to move waste and recyclables from buildings and street bins to the trash management facilities. This system, also known as automated vacuum collection (AVAC), transports waste at high speed through underground pneumatic tubes to a collection station, where it is compacted and sealed in containers. When the container is full, it is transported away and emptied.
It might sound a bit futuristic, but first, welcome to the future , and second, this system has already been tested, used and developed in various places on Earth. For instance, Council and the Sunshine Coast is installing Australia's first underground automated waste collection system (AWCS) in the new Maroochydore City Centre, so soon this...
...will become a reality
Hmm, @mattb325 is from Australia and I think he's working on civic services or something like that. Maybe he's familiar with this project and can give us some extra information.
Everret Green is the first town on Fairview that utilizes this new system, with two public sites of gathering and transporting the garbage, each one using a different strategy to deal with different kind of materials. The first one is at the middle of this residential zone. At this one, people can dispose their recyclable materials into portholes specialized for recycling, which from there will be transported by an underground pneumatic system to Dawnville's trash management facilities, obsoleting the need of garbage trucks.
The second site is a yard located at the main road, specialized for larger and heavier materials to store and transport them. This yard can also work as an underground warehouse for temporary storing those materials, or send those materials to Dawnville's recycling center and plasma gasification plant by flying drones. By the way, the future drones of Fairview are ion-propelled (and yes, ion engines are not only for space probes anymore) which generate no sound at all, because unlike propels and jet engines, ion engines doesn't have moving parts, which also reduces the time and resources to repair and maintain them. Ion engines right now are not strong enough to lift an entire airplane, not even a flying car. But don't worry. This will be changed in the future.
By the way, please ignore the fact that this drone looks like it's colliding with the branches of this tree
After a tranquil night, when the Sun goes up, you open your smart window and what's the very first thing you see? In this part of Everret Green, you see trees, birds eating seeds, squirrels playing on the trees, and butterflies flying from flower to flower. And what's the very first thing you want to do? Why, eating your breakfast at those tables of course, becoming one with the nature, enjoying the moment and feeding those little animals, without being too far away from your 3D virtual television.
Just like Dawnville, Everret Green is also close to a body of water and above underground water source. This tower pumps up and cleans the underground water and makes it available to the thirsty citizens of the town. The water tower is located in between of an observation tower and a small open area for parking our electric cars. There is also a small path beginning from there. Let's follow it.
This path leads to one of the service/access hatch to an underground conduit. The ordinary (and very ugly) power transmission towers with the hanging wires are too dangerous for the local fauna and bring visual pollution to the point of making your eyes want to vomit. On the other hand, wireless transmission of energy hasn't been fully developed yet on Fairview. So the next best thing is using underground wires to connect our renewable energy sources with our towns. But what kind of energy source we use this time?
This time we're using a wind turbine, equipped with room-temperature superconductors (and yes, they can already exist), to provide electricity to our civilization. Now, more and more people are concerned about the local problems the wind turbines bring, especially the noise pollution and the bird deaths caused by their blades. Those power plants are very important to decrease and hopefully even eliminate the need of burning fossil fuel, but the challenges they poses should be used as reasons to improve them, not as reasons to remove them. Wind turbines can be upgraded with sound-killing materials and mechanisms to minimize the noise pollution they bring. At the same time, simply by changing the color of a single blade on a turbine from white to black can result in a 70% drop in the number of bird deaths, according to a study ran for nine years at Norway's Smøla wind farm.
This time I tried to make the landscape as realistic and detailed as possible, with plenty of types of flora and MMPs to see, such as rocks, weed and a lot of flowers. To do this, I used the ability of the terrain mod I have to display various details, such as flowers and logs, and paint accordingly. Flower above flower, rock above dirt. And then I discovered that this mod changes every month, removing the textured flowers from my prop flowers etc . Next time, I'll try to make it even better.
Water is more alive than ever, with weed in it and birds flying around above it.
Look closely and you'll see fish swimming around the weed.
At first I was thinking about turning this place into a big natural park, but that would require some terraforming that would mess with it. So I decided to let it as it is and even enrich it with trees and flowers.
As well as some logs and dead trees.
Even more flowers. Some of the Everret Green citizens enjoy to get there (or at least deploy a drone with ion engines) to appreciate the flowers, without picking them up though. Because as Osho said: "If you love a flower, don’t pick it up. Because if you pick it up, it dies and it ceases to be what you love. So if you love a flower, let it be. Love is not about possession. Love is about appreciation."
And some rocks too.
But Fairview, and thus Everret Green, is a home for everybody. Not only for humans, but also for so many animals. Foxes.
Even more foxes.
Deer.
Even more deer.
Moses.
Buzzards.
And bears. And bees, and butterflies, and so many other wonderful creatures. We're all children of the same planet, breathing the same air and sharing the same evolutionary and cosmic origins. And if we can get along, if we can live and let the others live, the possibilities of the future will be endless.
"When we talk about building an empathic civilization, we aren't talking about utopia. We are talking about the ability of human beings to show solidarity not only with each other but with our fellow creatures who have a one and only life on this little planet." Jeremy Rifkin
Hope you did enjoyed this special entry. What new things we'll find in the next entry? There is only one way to find it out. See you there
