Spain Alvaro

Hi, mi name is Alvaro

and live in Picasent near Valencia

I'm trying to be the most self sustainable as is possible

to avoid, producing and consuming from this system

Q1: can you say anything more about what you do, the projects etc?

do you translate or should i start?_yes, what is that you do in the movement, and the reasons you joined.

well i got in the zeitgeist movement because i think

It is the social movement that has the best plan to solve the planet's problems

and i'm involved in several projects in the zeitgest movement

developing some technologies of renewable energies

helping in what i can. with some colleagues with computer technology knowledge

free software

and some things related to agriculture, ecological agriculture

recycling organic residues.

I started as an activist 6 months ago

and i'm very happy and very hopeful about the work that's being done

why do you like the movement and the resource based economy?

the resource based economy seems to be the only feasible way

to survive in a planet with limited resources

i think its obviously clear that we can´t keep devastating the planet at the speed we are doing it

we must adapt ourselves to the production rhythms of nature

but that doesn’t mean that we have to give up confort,

technology today could allow us to live in a world were we could have abundace of all the things

without having to deprive ourselves of virtually anything

and almost without having to work

that’s what the technology based in resources is about

applying the technologies to live in consonance with the capacity of the planet

but apliying the technology to make our life easier

Q2: can you say something about the movement in Spain?

the history and the future of the movement in Spain

i'm not very old in the movemnt. i've only been for 6 months

so i am not one of the other, like him

so more important question is if you could say something more about the economic political and social situation in spain

or if you prefer to speak about the movement in spain, were can it go

how can it evolve, the local situation basicly

i see the movement in spain like in the rest of the world. The situation in spain its not better

than in the majority of the countries, they are starting to feel the symptoms of a sistem that is tumbling down

and its no longer sustainable. there are a lot of problems that come from the non-sustainability of this system

the tecnological unemployment is affecting a lot of people, there are 5 milions of unemployees

and the social situation is becoming more tense and some attempts of response are coming up,

but most of people are lost and they don’t have the answers to the questions they are making

we offer an answer an alternative to this system and our job is to reach as many people as we can,

and make them understand, that what we are suggesting is not only viable

but that it would also be very good for everybody

how do you see the transition from what we have now to a resource based economy, to the better world?

my favorite question

the transition is one of the most controversial questions inside the movement, how would it go,

from the actual system to the resourced based economy.

Many people can not picture it clearly.

i imagine how that transition can be made

and i think that it would be a gradual process of adopting different technologies

that can make possible for people to have access to resources in a free way

i mean developing and distributing technologies in open source

for people to be able to provide for themselves with the neccessary resources to live.

in several cases provinding ourselves without having to work, or working very little compared to what we do today

to gain money to buy things to live in comfort. we have a lot of technology that we are not applying

and majority of the people don´t know about it

if we apply the technology that we already have, we could live without problems

all the world almost without having to work.

i see this process of transition, like a way to slowly implement those technologies.

at first in a personal way. giving the example of its use and that they are applicable

and as the quantity of activists and interested people about zeitgeist growth,

the aplication and implementation of those technologies will increase.

and it would be a process of feedback
the more people that work out of the system

thanks to the implementation of those technologies that allow people to access for free to the resources

more people would be seeing the efects of it and that it really works

and therefore more people will feel attracted to work
outside the monetary system

and to join the resouce based economy.

and gradually the system will be empyting of its labor force and consummers

to finaly disapear on a pacific and gradual way

there is not much light now

this camera are pretty good with this, we can still make it.

Q. message to the people of the world. what do you want to tell to the people.

some advice maybe, what should they do to change their lives or something.

you know maybe it could be something about we should grow...

it can be one sentence, something that you think its important, it could be your favorite quot.

it could be something that you recently discoverd in your life and whant to share it.something close to your heart that you want to share with others

if you whant build another world...in spanish or english? sorry

if we want to build another world we must do it ourselves

- you can do it with dog. yeah you can take the dog in your hand, and the second one too -

the perfect motion._ you must see i built a fantastic machine.

all right.

if we whant to buil a world like...no no...its not that, cut.

ok i know i'll start over.

to buil the world we want we will have to do it ourselves, and we will have to learn how to do it

we must learn to build things
