About Me
- Albert Bates
- I have woven my life-long discoveries into a prescriptive model I call Civilization 2.0. It integrates the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals; soil sequestration of carbon; preserving the cultures of indigenous peoples; ecovillage modalities for governance, education and self-provision; anti-fragile biomass to biochar renewable energy; climate moderating aquatic ecosystems; and microenterprise innovation, incubation, acceleration, B-corporation hubs that function as bioregional circular economies. I sketched all this in the 3-minute video I made for Habitat II in Istanbul in 1996 and the 90-second video we did in 2016 for the MacArthur 100 and Change Challenge that led to my new videos and essays you will find on my YouTube channel or GVI(x).org. I describe the strategy in greater detail in my book from Chelsea Green, Burn: Using Fire to Cool the Earth or in my latest book on Amazon, Retropopulationism.
