Foster Gamble and Kimberly Carter Gambol This couple have dedicated their lives to finding the secret to what will enable the human race to live (actually Thrive) in a peaceful, harmonious, and self-actualizing world environment. Decades of full-time research and analysis has enabled them to bring us cutting edge information about breakthroughs in science, consciousness and social change. Central to the list of principles they advocate is the Principle of Non-Aggression, meaning that no one may use violence, or the threat of violence, against another except in legitimate self-defense. They contend that living by this single (golden rule?) would allow all people to live with truly equal rights.
No partisanship here. This apolitical movement transcends all social, political and economic boundaries to offer effective tools and strategies to solve our world dilemas. A Key insight that supports all Thrive philosophy is that we live in a fundamentally interconnected universe. Thus, embracing the dynamics of the unified field will allow us to restore our connection to our natural environment.Based on nature’s design principles – the torus and vector equilibrium — described in the documentaries, the Thrive Solutions Model provides real, life-changing answers to one of the world’s most difficult questions: Why can’t we all Thrive on this planet?

Composting – Locally and Worldwide. Composting: Giving back to Mother Earth what she has given to us. Composting at home and in cities restores the New Earth’s soil and keeps the air clean. Composting can divert as much as 30% or more of household waste away from the land fill to become fertilizers. In the landfill, organic matter creates harmful methane gas, increasing global warming and climate change. San Francisco has been diverting more than 80 percent of waste from landfills through re-cycling and composting. More than 90,000 metric tons of carbon emissions are avoided annually, equivalent to the annual greenhouse gas emissions from 20,000 passenger vehicles. Maggots are especially efficient for processing food waste. Maggots can process food waste in a very short time. They are used in parts of the world for quickly processing food waste into fertilizer.

NVC can be seen as both a spiritual practice that helps us see our common humanity, using our power in a way that honors everyone’s needs, and a concrete set of skills which help us create life-serving families and communities. The form is simple, yet powerfully transformative. https://www.nonviolentcommunication.com/
