How Global Innovators Design a Sustainable Future
Adapted from The Christian Science Monitor 2024.04.22
Around the world, a growing number of ecological visionaries are remaking landscapes, communities, and the way we live. In projects that range from “ecovillages” in sub-Saharan Africa to regenerative agriculture coworking spaces in Europe, individuals and organizations are embarking on a hands-on rethinking of the future.
These efforts are part of a global increase in intentional ecological communities, according to experts. Ten years ago, there were around 440 ecovillages registered with the Global Ecovillage Network. Last year, there were 10,000. These projects are decidedly realistic, which welcome the general public to come, stay, and spend.
Take, for example, a project in the works in central Portugal. The sustainable village of the future, if Martina Wiedemar and Joao Almeida have any say about it, will have solar panels, earthen buildings, and an eco-friendly agroforest, a form of regenerative agriculture that mimics nature to produce climate-friendly food.
The field hands who work there will earn wages well above what's standard for this rural area of Portugal. Those who take up residence here for a week, a month, or longer will be able to take classes on sustainable agriculture or local cooking, and to sample locally grown produce. Children will play together, exploring nature. There will also be a swimming pool with a unique poolside restaurant and coworking space, designed in a white-washed Mediterranean style, with fast Internet.
“We are showing how nature-based solutions can be put into place and we're taking the first steps for a better world,” says Elize Rostant, who is helping to develop the Portugal project. But some criticize these efforts as being so small that they barely make a difference.
In an era of climate breakdown,“these projects are like beacons of hope,” says Rob Hopkins, co-founder of the Transition Network, an international movement that helps communities shift to local resilience and sustainability. “They show what's possible, and they inspire others to take action.”

The Law of Club and Tooth—2
Excerpt from The Call of the Wild
淘金潮时期,米勒法官家的爱犬巴克被贩卖到寒冷的阿拉斯加,它历经了重重磨难,最终回归到大自然。
When Francois saw Buck, he shouted to Perrault: “What did I say? Buck certainly learns quickly.”
Perrault nodded seriously. He was a courier (信使) for the Canadian Government, carrying important letters, and he was anxious to get the best dogs. He was particularly① pleased about owning Buck. Three more huskies were added to the team, making nine dogs, and soon they were in harness and moving up the trail. Buck was glad to be moving. Though the work was hard, he didn't dislike it. He was surprised at② the eagerness③ of the whole team, and even more surprised at Dave and Sol-leks, who④ were completely changed by the harness. They were no longer passive⑤ and uninterested. They were alert⑥ and active. Pulling the sled seemed to be what⑦ they lived for and the only thing that they enjoyed.
Dave was nearest the sled. Buck was in front of him. Then came Sol-leks; the rest of the team was ahead in single file (成纵队) up to the leader, Spitz. They had placed Buck between Sol-leks and Dave on purpose⑧, so that he could learn what to do. He was a good learner and they were good teachers, helping him to learn with their sharp teeth. But by the end of the day he had mastered his work and Francois' whip (鞭子) hit him less often.
It was a hard day's run up the canyon (峡谷). They passed the timber line (森林边缘).They crossed glaciers (冰川) and snowdrifts (雪堆) hundreds of metres deep and they went over the great Chilcoot Divide (分水岭), which⑨ guards the sad, lonely north. They travelled quickly past a chain of lakes, and late that night they pulled into a large camp at the head of Lake Bennet. There were thousands of gold-seekers (淘金者) waiting⑩ there for the ice to melt in spring. Buck made his hole in the snow and slept, exhausted⑪.
Day after day Buck worked hard in the harness. The team started off in the dark and then stopped to camp in the dark, eating their bit of fish, and crawling to sleep in the snow. Buck was very hungry. The kilo of dried salmon, which was what the dogs got each day, was never enough for him. The other dogs weighed less and were used to this way of life, so they managed to⑫ keep in good condition⑬.
He found, however, that the ones who finished their food quickly, would steal his. To stop this, he ate as fast as they did. He was so hungry that he even took what⑭didn't belong to him. He saw Pike, one of the new dogs, steal a piece of bacon when Perrault's back was turned. He did the same thing the following day, getting away with⑮ the whole piece. The men were very angry, but did not suspect⑯ him, and another new dog, Dub, was punished for it. Theft was one of the things Buck had to learn to survive⑰ in his new hostile Northland environment. He knew he had to change to fit into⑱ these harsh (恶劣的) new conditions, or face a quick and terrible death.
His development⑲ was fast. His muscles became hard as iron⑳. He could eat anything. His sight and sense of smell became very sharp㉑, while㉒ his hearing developed so much that in his sleep he knew whether the smallest sound meant danger or not. He learned to bite the ice out when it collected㉓ between his toes. When he was thirsty and there was a thick layer (层) of ice over the water hole, he would break it by dropping onto it with his front legs㉔. He also learnt to smell the wind and decide what would happen in the night, so that he always made his sleeping hole in the most sheltered place.
Not only did he learn㉕ by experience, but long-dead instincts㉖ rose in him again. The years of domesticated dog generations fell from him. It wasn't difficult for him to learn to fight like wolves, because that was how㉗ his ancestors had fought. And when, on still cold nights, he pointed his nose at a star and howled (长嚎) long and wolf-like, it was as if ㉘ his ancestors were howling through him.
