Simple Recipe for a Sustainable Heaven on Earth This and All Living
Planets
At the Macro Level: Can This Planet Sustain?
1. Balance of Gender in Decision-Making (Legislative, Executive,
Judicial)
http://www.womenwarpeace.org/issues/elections/election.htm
The 1995 Beijing Platform for Action called for a 30% minimum
representation of women in decision-making bodies. Some NGOs have
expresses dissatisfaction for the 30% as there has been a lack of
progress since Beijing; these NGOs call for gender parity, with a
range of 45 to 55% as acceptable in a democracy. The additional
levels would make up for the lost time and resultant injury to the
sustainability of Earth, since 1995. These higher levels
exist in those regions in which citizens express higher
levels of satisfaction with life both materially and spiritually,
and where democracy and peace has been more the norm sustainably.

A Good Example of Gender Balance at the Executive Level is the
New Zealand Students/Waikato Model (teams of sisterhood and
brotherhood
in balance as co-executives. See
http://pgsaatwaikato.blogspot.com
Many student and university organizations worldwide attest to the
social value
of women's restoration/balance of gender in coleader****p, and many
political parties, organizations.
2. Family Leave (ongoing resources that assure babies/toddlers are
afforded time
to bond with parents, extended family/community, in accordance with
developmental
experts, usually suggesting about 18 months with parents as a minimum.
Starting
life off well is a critical issue for social sustainability, and the
avoidance of
higher rates of illness, mental illness and disrespect for commmunity,
law and
human rights in adult populations.

Currently, the United States region has one of the most insufficient
family leave
laws from the perspective of human development.

3. Universal Health Care and Prevention/Wellness Education
Universal Health Care is well established in democracies with highest
levels of life satisfaction.
Many civilizations understand the need to provide universal health
care as a litmus test of at least
some form of the Golden Rule of Sisterhood and Brotherhood within a
society.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_health_care
The following are among many countries that have various types of
universal health care systems:
Argentina,Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Cuba, Denmark,
Finland, France,
Germany, Greece,Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan,The Netherlands, New
Zealand, Norway,
Poland, ****tugal, Russia,Saudi Arabia, Seychelles, South Korea, Spain,
Sri Lanka, Sweden,The Republic of China (Taiwan),and the British
Isles
Mexico,South Africa, Thailand and the United States are among those
nations/regions
of Earth attempting to implement universal health care systems. The
failure in the
United States to have met this goal yet is particularly glaring,
because of region's current
financial wealth, the literacy of the population, and the sup****t of
so much of the
nursing, physician, health and mental health communities. USA has a
lower life expectancy than
virtually all other countries in a similar economic class, including
those with national healthcare systems, such as Australia,
the United Kingdom, Canada, and Sweden. Also, infant mortality rates
remain higher in the United States as well.
These facts speaks to other aspects of a currently failed and gender
imbalanced
official political regime in once respected region of Earth. State
legislatures are spending
volumes of time on developing care systems in despair over the failure
of politicians
in the gender imbalanced Congress. California, Maine, Hawaii, and
Vermont are among the few
states that have some form of universal health care, and also tend to
have more balanced gender representation,
but obviously, this would be of little help to most people living in
the US region of North America.
At the Micro Level: Each Community Is a Whologram for the Planet
1. Village Commons and Co-Housing
Every Neighborhood can become a hologram village for valuing and
sustaining the Planet.
http://www.ecocitycleveland.org/ecologicaldesign/ecovillage/ecovillage_resources.html
Develop commons houses with egalitarian rules of coleader****p, work
and education, and
resources for all ages. Do it, from the grassroots, where you and
other empowered
citizens capable of a sustainable future live. This increases
intergenerational bonding
and mutual learning throughout life, expanding quality as well as
longevity of life.
2. Election Practice for Fair Representation of Both Female and Male
Genders,
and Community Representative Diversity
Know what a real election acceptable to Nature looks like.

4. Future-Ready Community/Pro-Peace-System Planetary Currency

http://swz.salary.com/momsalarywizard/htmls/mswl_momcenter.html
(Compute for moms, all un and underpaid women's work and the
work of exploited children and men; do computations/multiplied
estimates not only for self, but community and world)

5. Co-Ordination Ceremonies and Spiritual Appreciation of Everyday
Life
Finding the Common Ground of Good Faith, valuing females and males as
equally inherently wholly and im****tant to each other.
http://www.evolve.org/pub/doc/chrysalis02_barbaraGG.html
Throughout the Universe, the Practice of Sisterhood and Brotherhood,
Recognizing the Sacredness Within Others and Self, is the Key to the
Empowered Golden Rule of Love and Lasting Sustainable Prosperity.
On a Universal Planet called Earth, and All Sustainable Living and
Terraformable Planets and Moons.
