Living Utopia's

The Zapatista Autonomous Municipalities in Chiapas,Mexico, rotate their leadership, never allowing anyone to stay on too long, lest they grow too accustomed to power... Everyone is offered a chance to be chief- without renumeration.

Gaviotas,in Columbia, rules by concensus, likewise for the Japanese communal farm. Lugari founded Gaviotas in 1971, and has created a model eco-village, amidst a warzone, and the village has reclaimed the forest (planting 1.6 million trees).They also have invented numerous technologies to cope with their circumstances- a water pump that doubles as a childrens see-saw, a new type of wind mill, methane gas from cow waste, etc.

The Stelle Group in the US set up a humane pseudo-capitalistic co-op system, as well as our countries first reverse osmosis water filtration system and our first solar powered telephone and internet grid.

Operant conditioning. Sustainability.
