Welcome to the European Organisation for Sustainability

We started in 2004 to design and implement a sustainable socioeconomic economic system to replace our current unsustainable system. We have a mainly European focus but have members from all over the planet. Mostly of our members have a science of engineering background but we have members from a variety of backgrounds.

Welcome, a new dawn begins....

Sustainability

We aim to build the foundation for a sustainable socioeconomic system through the appliance of science to society. One that offers a good quality of life for all and balances our needs with the environment.

Our current socioeconomic system does not have a sustainable nature. We take resources from the Earth, produce goods and then consume them. When we finish with the items we have used we throw them away. In the process we systematically destroy the planet we live on. We have a system that maintains exponential growth to survive with finite resources. No physical system can ever maintain such growth. Over the hundreds of years we have run this system our socioeconomic system has brought us many advantages and improvements making our lives better. But now we have reached the point where the system shows the first signs of failure with a strong probability of a collapse. A recent report is showing that a quarter of the species on the planet could go extinct before the end of this century.

We now need to move away from the system that we have to a future sustainable system. A system with a cyclic nature where we take the resources we need, produce what we want and then return things so we can reuse them. We need a system that balances our needs with the environment and lives within the limits nature provides.

Design

The technical side centres around a holonic network of autonomous multi-discipline teams of experts. Our society has a complex nature. It takes many years to learn and understand just a small part of it. In our system the management and operation of each technical area of society comes under the control of the people with the skill and expertise to make competent decision in that area. That means we have no central control but instead a network of autonomous groups that work towards a common goal of building and maintain a society that provides the highest standard of living possible for the longest time possible.

Our system has an openness and peer review attributes where experts can review others work. We have a hierarchy of functional sequences  each having its own director as head to monitor and check the holons but not interfere with their internal running. The functional sequences act like a skeletal framework keeping the network together.

Instead of money we propose an Energy Accounting system. It takes energy to produce items and we can measure how much energy our production system takes. We the divide that production capacity in terms of energy among the people as Energy Credits (EC). The people the decide how to allocate production to produce goods via allocating ECs.

We propose the use of robotics and automation to minimise the amount of work done giving people more time to be human.

We propose replacing our cities with urbanates that house about 10 000 people with all their leisure and work needs within easy reach. We have no fixed design for an urbanate instead we have a set of principles; modular design, circular, dome of hexagon construction and sustainable.

Future

We have already started to implement our design; testing it our and developing and redeveloping it as needed. We aim to build up a network of companies and communities to test our ideas out more fully so we have empirical evidence to show what works and what doesn't. We aim that our network will form the foundations for a future sustainable socioeconomic system.
