Week 02 - Idea Development

Rural Self Sustainability is something of the past; however an increasing interest in the Environment at large is seeing more and more city inhabitants moving to rural areas for a slower paced life. This in the future could see the reestablishment of Self Sustainable Communities where individuals live in a more cooperative way for the bedament of human existence.

Often these regional areas have a community base that provides a support network you may not have in a large city. Jacobson notes for centuries, people have thrived in communities, as living with people with whom you have something in common provides security, quality of life, and emotional connection. Over the last 100 years, these needs have largely been met by corporations that vastly improved our wellbeing and increased our knowledge.

Currently for many people these needs provided by corporations are not being met and people are looking for new ways to make the most of their lives, without being tied to an employer.
