Sustainable Adaptation

"The ability to adapt to and survive the environment, finding a niche to live regeneratively meeting one's needs, maintaining a spiritual connection to the Earth, leaving a 'net negative' resource and pollution footprint behind during one's lifetime."

Ideally, the environment left at the end of one's life is better overall than the beginning of one's life, leaving an inheritance for the 'Seventh Generation' in the future.

Points to consider
- Economic plant species
    - the past, present and future
    - key to transitioning away from fossil fuel
    - many biotechnology opportunities
    - key species
        - hemp
        - bamboo
        - macroalgae
        - microalgae
        - palms and ferns
        - agaves and cacti
- Appropriate Technology
    - a key adaptation strategy and very useful
    - IP mainly in the Creative Commons
    - money, skills, tools and materials to build the 'Apptech'
    - appropedia.org
- renewable energy
    - key to the transition
    - energy everywhere available for harvesting
    - manufacturing opportunities
    - maintenance jobs
- landscape regeneration
    - 'Green Walls' with economic plant species to defend against encroaching desertification
- Carbon footprint
    - adaptation to climate change. How?
    - Permanent Biochar Carbon Removal (BCR) for 'Inertinite'
    - globally paid credits for BCR in the 'Carbon Removal Marketplace' (CRM)
    - Biochar production technologies (extensively blogged about with a LOT of intel on this website)
    - Biochar integrated into both ecology and economy with economic opportunity at scale (ideally household, community, bioregional, National).
- Water footprint
    - rainwater harvesting
    - sustainable lake, river, stream water harvesting
    - Desalination of saline water eg. Seawater, brackish groundwater
    - Atmospheric Water Harvesting (AWH)
- chemical footprint
    - consumption of circular products using 'Green chemistry' which means avoiding fossil fuel based products and polluting chemicals
