Thinking of children 2,000 years from now!Hi, Thanks for the good work! I was in San Francisco for 5 months last year when I was invited to present my projects for sustainable cities at the Ecocities World Summit in April. I continue to promote my projects BECAUSE NOW IS THE LAST CHANCE THAT WE GET TO ESTABLISH SUSTAINABLE MODELS TO SUSTAIN ALL OF OUR CHILDREN'S CHILDREN'S CHILDREN'S CHILDREN'S CHILDREN! Please have a look at my website at www.greenmillennium.eu for a summary of the projects, most of which I developed as I was recovering from my heart stopping for 10 minutes following a car accident in Kenya in 1980! We were just immigrating from Switzerland to England when we took the holiday in Kenya, so I arrived as an immigrant unable to walk, speak or remember!
"It will take you at least 6 - 8 years to regain a normal life," warned the neurologist who saw me at the time, but necessity is the mother of all, so I started staggering home from the first job that I had there, and by the time that I had done 330 miles could walk again!
More importantly, my mind went to the cars passing me on the narrow road south of Oxford, and I began to imagine how we might transport ourselves, grow food, and live when there was no more petroleum, 27 years ago. I believe that my ideas are still valid: to run Linear Cities through farmland to give everyone immediate access to their own plots of land, and service them with trains that use only 1/3 of the energy/passenger mile that cars and aircraft do. If the cities are oriented north to south, thay should also act as superb impediments to the prevailing westerly wind, accelerating it as it flows overhead!
Please have a look at all the projects on my website; we may only have a little time to build the 100% sustainable infrastructure that all of our great great great great great grandchildren will need. We must start now, and I challenge anyone to submit a more comprehensive project than my own!
Thank you very much for your interest, compassion for generations 2000 years from now (those of 2,000 years ago are only a multiple of 20 of the generations that we know in our own families!) and foresight!
Yours sincerely,
Kim Gyr
